This phenomenon can give the mix a sort of karaoke feel. There’s also the risk of raising the vocals too high without realizing it, either due to ear-fatigue or suboptimal monitoring. It can be hard to know whether to bury the vocal on a phrase for the mystery of it (the work of Tool come to mind) or to bolster the vocals above everything else. I find this meter quite handy, as vocal intelligibility is tricky to get right. By integrity, I mean how easy it is to hear the words-the very definition of intelligibility. If I put an instance of Relay (think of it as Insight 2’s “helper plug-in”) in the last slot of my vocals/vocal bus, I’m able to monitor the apparent integrity of my vocals in relation to the rest of the material. However, it also works within the context of music. The Intelligibility Meter was designed primarily with post-production in mind.
