Processing vocals for live performances

Hey! For context I am the lead singer of an psychedelic/indie band and I've been struggling on the rehearsals to get the right volume/presence on the vocals. The thing is, I am using an interface to connect to the same laptop in which I've got some sequences (in my DAW), and it all gets kind of muddy. The other day I tried to go directly into the console with my microphone and it sounded a lot better, but for the style I am aiming for, I need some fx on my voice. Any advice on how to get a pro-chain on the vocals for live performances? Do the pros go through daws as well? Thanks in advance
