1.2 Product Overview
Vocal Rider is the first of Waves pioneering new series of Mix tools. As its name implies,
it automatically rides vocal track levels. Instead of manually riding a mixing console
fader, or tediously drawing in every level change on a DAW track, Vocal Rider does it
for you, making it a true timesaver. All you need to do is set the target range of the vocal
level in relation to the rest of the mix. Then, Vocal Rider adjusts the level so it stays
within your target, raising or lowering the vocal volume, in real-time. And unlike
compression, Vocal Rider doesn’t add any additional coloring to your track. From the
recording studio to the concert stage, from the broadcast studio to the post house, Vocal
Rider takes mixing to the next level.
Keep consistent vocal & dialog levels automatically.
Steady vocal levels without affecting their sound.
Achieve an open-sounding mix by avoiding over-compression.
Real-Time means zero latency and no pre-scan needed.
Intelligently adjusts vocal level based on dynamics of the music tracks.
Write the automatic riding to an automation track for fine tuning.
