Waves Vocal Rider

Israel - Waves Audio is now shipping Vocal Rider, the first of Waves' series of new Mixing tools. Vocal Rider is designed for mixers and recording engineers, automatically riding the levels of vocal tracks. Instead of manually riding a console fader, or tediously drawing in every level change on a DAW track, Vocal Rider does it automatically, making it a true timesaver, says the company.

The user sets the target range of the vocal level in relation to the rest of the mix. Vocal Rider then compensates for all deviations from the target, intelligently raising or lowering the vocal volume, instantly. Unlike compression, Vocal Rider adds absolutely no additional colouring to the track.
