Vocal Rider is inserted on your vocal or vocal group track and the side‑chain input set to the bus to which the rest of your mix is routed. When you're happy that all is sounding OK, you can record the fader movement as automation in your DAW, which means that if you disagree with what Vocal Rider is doing at any time, you can go in and edit the automation data.Waves go to great lengths to explain that Vocal Rider is not a compressor and so does not introduce coloration. I can appreciate what they mean, as all gain changes are done using a fader rather than a VCA, FET or valve, though the end result is an automatic reduction in vocal dynamic range — which some would still define as a form of compression. The Rider fader will move as the plug‑in does its stuff, even before you record its output as automation data, and you can fine‑tune the operation by setting the range faders to limit the amount of level cut or boost applied. As the track plays, you adjust the Vocal Sensitivity, Attack and Instrument Sensitivity controls to get a subjectively even vocal level in all parts of the song, then adjust Target using its transparent fader cap. The trick to getting the vocal to sit naturally in the mix is to adjust the Target and Music sensitivity controls after first setting the Vocal Sensitivity control so that only vocals are recognised and spill is ignored. Vocal Rider also includes Waves' own breath‑detection algorithm, so that the plug‑in doesn't turn up all the breath sounds.

You listen to the vocal level in the context of any instrumental backing, and make fader moves to keep the vocal balanced against the rest of the mix. The Idle Arrow sets the value the Rider Fader will settle at when no vocal is detected. A sensitivity LED monitors the response to the side‑chain input. Waves Vocal Rider Crack is the first of Waves pioneering new series of Mix tools. What makes Vocal Rider’s approach interesting is that it combines the efficiency of “set it and forget it” compression with the artifact-free response of fader automation. Music Sensitivity determines the amount by which Vocal Rider reacts to the backing mix level, so if, for example, the song gets louder in the chorus, the vocal will also be lifted so that it doesn't get buried. Instead of manually riding a mixing console fader, or tediously drawing in every level change on a DAW track, Vocal Rider … The obvious alternative is to do the fader moves yourself and record them as automation. Now Waves have come up with a plug‑in that does the job for you in a very straightforward and elegant manner. This is, in essence, a threshold that tells Vocal Rider to ignore sounds below a certain level; a Ride/Idle activity LED lights when an above‑threshold vocal has been detected. The plug‑in has a side‑chain input, and the best way to follow the mix level is to route all the instrumental sources in the mix to a bus and then select that as the side‑chain source. Last in the signal path is the Output gain trim fader and associated clip LED.Operation turned out to be very straightforward using Logic Pro 9 running on a Mac Pro. Enter Waves Vocal Rider, a new offering that has taken an interesting approach to the age-old problem of keeping the human voice up front in a mix. Until now...How do you get a vocal to sit at the right level in a mix? “Hello, Chris.
The DAW's own automation must be armed separately when recording the fader movement, but otherwise, data is recorded in the the same way as for automating any other plug‑in. We move the vocal fader up and down in narrow or broad strokes to make sure the vocal is always level, always present – to make sure it’s never too soft or too loud, and sits in the mix just right, even when the backing tracks change.Follow these 12 steps to transform raw vocal tracks into a performance that is finished with polish and sheen.
