Most YouTube videos give you one or two chains. We are giving you a vault. However, if you want to learn to build your own, break these rules:

Waves plugins are analog emulations. They love hitting the "sweet spot" around -18dB FS. If your vocal is too quiet, the compression won't work. If it's too loud, the distortion will sound bad. Trim the input to each plugin.
