I hear something in my head, but how do I actually produce this effect?

[Christopher Gilland]

So, here is basically what I wanna do. Realize, if I had a control
surface, this would be quite easy, provided my surface supported moving
a dial to adjust amount of effect, but alas, I don't have a surface, so
everything I'm gonna do is going to have to be done completely from my
Apple USB keyboard with Voiceover.

I'm doing a piano and vocal only arrangement of the Wizard of Oz song,
Somewhere over the Rainbow.

What I'm hearing in my head is, when I get to the part between the first
and second verse that says:

Where troubles melt like lemondrops,
Away above the chimneytops,
That's where you'll find me...

Starting on the word fine, out to the end of me, just that one entire
measure, I want to take the reverb plug I'm going to be using, but I
want to kind of give a soaring effect. Kind a make it really sound like
my vocal is flying. Not a panning thing, but more just something that
makes those two words, find me, sound kind a spacy. Almost the floating
away kind of effect. I'm thinking doing this by writing some automation
by means of automating the reverb plug, and essentially turning
gradually up the wet mix, while allowing the dry mix to fade down a bit.
I got a plug that will do this very thing with one slider only, which
combines the wet/dry ratio into one control. The issue is, I only have
that one bar to work with. After that one bar, things have quickly, yet
smoothely gotta go back to the normal amount of reverb that the rest of
the vocal track will use.

Without a control surface, I'm wondering if, and how, this can be
accomplished without being too jarring. Or, without a surface, is this
pretty much gonna be a no go to get it to sound natural.

Chris.

Hey there, just paste the lyrics you want affected on to a new track and apply the reverb you want there. A slow moving phaser or flanger after the reverb incert could also add to the soaring feeling.
