[solved] Is there a way to automate or somehow punch in EQ?

[badt1mes]

This song I am mixing has some words where the 'r' sound is not coming through very well in a few words. Creek sounds like ceek and gray sounds like gay. I was experimenting with a hi/lo pass EQ filter and when I bumped the curve up +6 dB at 2.3 kHz, I could hear the 'r' in creek. So is there a way to punch in an EQ for that one word as opposed to EQing the entire vocal track a certain way just to embellish a single word?

I was thinking of adding an EQ to a bus, sending it to the vocal track, and bumping up the gain with automation envelope at that word (and a couple others). Is this method doable or is there a better way?

Graph below for context.

Thanks everyone!

Hi badt1mes,

You can try using Clip Effects.  Just cut a clip out of the recorded audio and you can insert effects right there with a right click.4

Kind regards,

or automate a specific band in Pro Channel Quadcurve EQ.

Or automate the "mix" parameter

After more listens, I decided the EQ adjustment worked with all the vocals. Instead of EQing one word here and there, I went ahead and applied it to the whole track because it helps the enunciation of lyrics come through.

Thanks everyone!
