If it sits just fine except for a few places in the song youmight just want to ride the fader a bit with an automation pass. RogerNichols (Steely Dan) doesn't use compression on vocal tracks. He justrides the fader til he gets a pass that he likes. If there are frequencies interfering with the vocals it might be thatthe mix is pregnant in a certain frequency range, and other tracks mightneed slight (subtractive) EQ. I do compress vocals, but to too aggressively, and like Roger Nichols,I ride the fader til I get the vocal to sit in the mix nicely. Adding a little upper-end "air" will often make the vocals stand out ina track and add clarity. Give a little boost at 10K (peaking, notshelving) and that often helps.
