waves vocal rider is it any good

[bad jitter]

I use the original, not Waves' emulation.

Actually they are somewhat different plug-ins, and unfortunately Wave Rider (as good as it is) is Mac only. Waves Vocal Rider is cross platform.

It works great. Got it earlier this month on sale and worth every penny.

For sure. It's a great plug-in. Saves me an hour on every mix not having to do the automation myself.

First I compress the vocals then I use Vocal Rider as a leveler without sending a submix into it, which works great. So far I've never felt the need to record and edit the automation because it works really well in automatic mode adjusting about +- 3dB.

It tightens up the vocals making them sit better in the mix, rendering a more professional sounding mix. Perfect for backing vocals and solo instruments as well.

I used this on a bass track today.

I have both but I prefer the WAVES version. It usually saves me between 1 and 2 hours per mix.
