Waves Vocal Rider - TDM or RTAS

[GS-DK]

Hi

I am going to buy the Waves Vocal Rider, but not sure if it will be worth the investment to get the TDM version - and suggestions. I have lots of CPU power, so RTAS will be no problem.

Thanks for your help!

they are both quite efficient and very low delay, so Native should suite 99% of users. unless you intend to use many of them! then TDM might be better.

The TDm version is significantly less delay. I use almost all rtas these days (new Mac Pro here), but I only use this plugin as rtas.

Oops, I meant to say that I only use it as tdm.

I was working on a session with about 56 or so tracks with a eq and a compressor on most of them and a vocal rider on all of the vocal tracks(Which were about 4 and about 9 with some different harmonies)

It was a really queen influenced rock track and the band had each member doing something vocally. They traded off on leads a lot and they all harmonized when they were not on the lead.

and the drummer even did a harmony on a part. Amazing band.

You will want to to print down your automation from Vocal Rider (very fast and easy to do) to you main track automation. As Vocal rider does save time but you still need to tweak the automation it records because I would not call VR 100% accurate.

I wonder if it would be possible to copy VR fader automation and paste it to volume automation.

Yes you can.

Did anyone get VR to work on Tiger? This is the first thing I have found that might make me upgrade from my stable 7.3.1 system.

How do you go about doing that? I tried copying the VR automation to the main volume automation, but nothing got copied.
