Vocal Rider

Waves

Vocal Rider is an automatic vocal level riding plugin that adjusts vocal track levels in real-time without adding coloring or compression artifacts. It intelligently maintains consistent vocal and dialog levels throughout a mix by automatically riding faders based on vocal dynamics relative to instrumental tracks, eliminating the need for manual fader riding or tedious automation drawing.
