Excuse me if this is a really silly question but... normally I record vocals straight on to a track in my DAW and I've never thought of getting KK involved in the process. But today I wanted to use KK VST to add effects to a vocal track I had. BUT... you can't add an effect in the plug-in chain unless you have an instrument VST. So I thought I would be clever and have some silent VST like the 'sampler' or 'audio' module and then add my FX, comp, EQ etc. But nothing happened, no FX added to my vocals. So I came to the conclusion that the vocal track has to be 'inside' KK to begin with. I did then drag the vocal WAV file from its folder on to the sampler - and then the FX worked - but this seems very unwieldy. So, the questions are: Can you record vocals directly into KK, if so how, and is it worth the trouble?
The reasons I'd like to try this are - it means I can use all the lovely knobs on my S88 rather than the mouse for changing parameters and I can try out NI fx like Solid Dynamics on vocals.
As I say, please excuse me if this is a ridiculous question!
