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.

1.3 Concepts and Terminology
The vocal production process can be divided into several stages: recording, comping, mix positioning, sound character adjustment (Dynamics/EQ/Effects), and gain riding. Vocal gain riding is the final stage, during which the vocal level is fine-tuned by making small changes to its playback level, to make its position in the mix consistent throughout the song.
Vocal Rider splits the elements of the mix into two main components: vocals and playback.
•Vocal: All vocal tracks, with or without effects (as defined by the user)
•Music: The rest of the mix, minus the vocal tracks
1.4Components
WaveShell technology enables us to split Waves processors into smaller plug-ins, which we call components. Having a choice of components for a particular processor gives you the flexibility to choose the configuration best suited to your material.

- Set Vocal Rider’s automation mode to ‘Read’.
- Open the Rider Fader automation line in the track editor to manually draw in your edits.
Assigning Sidechain Input
Here’s how you assign the instrumental mix to Vocal Rider’s music Sidechain input:
Pro Tools
- Select all tracks (except for the vocals) currently assigned to the Master mix output. Shift+Ctrl+Alt and click the Output menu on one of the tracks. Select an unused mono bus; it may help to name it “Music Sidechain” or similar. All selected tracks should now display the Master output with a “+” sign, indicating they are also routed to another bus.
Or
On all tracks (except for the vocals) currently assigned to the Master mix output, create a post-fader Send going to an unused mono bus, which you can call “Music Sidechain” or similar. Set all those send faders to “0”.
- Insert Vocal Rider on the vocal or vocal group track. Open the Vocal Rider GUI and click on the Sidechain (key) menu. Select the “Music Sidechain” bus you have created.
Logic Pro
- Select all the tracks (except for the vocals) currently assigned to the Master mix output.
- In the Sends display box, select and assign an unused bus; it may help to name it “Music Sidechain” or similar. An Aux track is automatically created with that bus as an input; you can delete it, as it is unnecessary.
- Alt+click on the Send knob. It will set the send level on all selected tracks to “0”.
- Insert Vocal Rider on the vocal or vocal group track. Open the Vocal Rider GUI and click on the Sidechain menu. Select the “Music Sidechain” bus you have created.
Digital Performer
- Select all the tracks (except for the vocals) currently assigned to the Master mix output.
- In the Sends display box, select and assign an unused bus; it may help to name it “Music Sidechain” or similar.
- Ctrl+click on the Send knob. It will set the send level on all selected tracks to “0”.
- Insert Vocal Rider on the vocal or vocal group track. Open the Vocal Rider GUI and click on the Sidechain menu. Select the “Music Sidechain” bus you have created.
Cubase / Nuendo
- Insert Vocal Rider on your vocal track or group, and press the Sidechain button.
- For each track (except for the vocals) currently assigned to the Master mix output, select a Send route to the Vocal Rider Sidechain bus.
- Set the Send to active, and Ctrl+click to set its level to “0”. Repeat for each track currently assigned to the Master mix output. Please note: It may be preferable to use the Mix window.
Studio One
- Insert Vocal Rider on your vocal track or group, and press the Sidechain button.
- For each track (except for the vocals) that is currently assigned to the Master mix output, select a Send route to the Vocal Rider Sidechain bus.
Known Issues
- General: Vocal Rider GUI must be open in order to Write Rider Fader automation.
- General: When Vocal Rider is in Write mode, it is not recommended to make manual adjustments by over-riding the main Rider Fader during automation. Switch Vocal Rider to Read mode before making manual adjustments. (In your DAW, keep the track automation set to Write/Touch/Latch). Manual adjustments made using a Control Surface are also not recommended.
- Pro Tools: While playing a loop with Vocal Rider set to Write, and Pro Tools set to Write, only the first run will write automation; the second run will not Write and will not Read, but the Rider Fader will still move.
- Pro Tools: If the drawn automation is jagged and saw-like, press “Off” then “Write” again on the Vocal Rider automation.
- Logic: When bypassing Vocal Rider during Write mode, a flat line will be written at the last fader position.
- Logic: Music control is always available, even if Sidechain is not connected. In this case, it will act as an offset to the Target setting.
- Logic: When writing Rider Fader automation, it is not recommended to write automation for other controls, as it will disrupt the Rider Fader automation data.
- Logic/Digital Performer: Even though Sidechain can appear to be connected in Preview mode, it may not be connected. Toggle “Multi-Input Mode” / “Mono” to force the Sidechain connection.

Vocal Rider и Bass Rider — это потрясающие автоматические компрессоры которые предугадывают и регулируют громкость аудио сигнала после чего уровень остается постоянным в пределах диапазона, который вы задаете. У Vocal Rider компенсация может быть двух типов абсолютной и зависящей исключительно от конкретного аудио или же относительно управляемым входным сайдчейн сигналом. Например, уровень вокала можно регулировать относительно громкости музыки опорного трека.
Рассмотрим Vocal Rider.
Элементы управления этого плагина интуитивно понятные. Вы можете установить входную чувствительность и скорость срабатывания при воспроизведении трека на свое усмотрение. Музыкальная чувствительность задает, насколько сильно этот плагин реагирует на входной сигнал сайдчейн. Вы можете ограничить величину изменения уровня фейдерами Range. Я обычно настраиваю довольно узкую полосу в пределах +-3dB, но это все зависит от трека. Cлайдер target рекомендуют устанавливать на среднюю громкость входного сигнала. Регулятор output позволяет снизить уровень выходного сигнала после обработки плагина, чтобы избежать клипирования. Переключатель Fast и Slow отвечают за то как быстро будет реагировать плагин на изменение атаки компрессии. Fast быстрее, slow медленнее.
Давайте послушаем как Vocal Rider удерживает громкость этого вокала на постоянном уровне.
Вы можете видеть, что Vocal Rider повысил тихие и понизил громкие части. Управление автоматизацией позволяет записать её в вашей DAW. В моем случае это Fl Studio. После чего вы можете отредактировать движение фейдера Rider. Чтобы вам включить и добавить автоматизацию к фейдеру rider и к параметрам которые и будут автоматизированы нужно настроить плагин. Для этого загружаем сам плагин на дорожку с вокалом. После чего переходим в настройки плагина VST wrapper seatings ->Stereo output и выставить значение 1. А также включите контролеры Stereo In и Stereo Aux in.
Установите ваш DAW в режим записи. Выберите пустой патерн на плейлисте, переведите сам плагин в режим Write и включите запись в Fl Sudio. После этого автоматизация будет записана.
После чего нужно переключить плагин в режим воспроизведения Read. Если нужно отредактировать автоматизацию, то нажмите в левом углу автоматизации левой кнопкой мышки и выберите Edit Pattern.
Теперь в открывшемся для того чтобы сделать автоматизацию так как надо. Нужно перейти в Menu->Edit->Turn into automation clip -> Accept.
После этого у Вас автоматизация станет такой какой она и должна быть и её легче будет редактировать.
Рассмотрим Bass Rider.
Он имеет те же функции что и Vocal Rider но без сайдчейн автоматизации. Настройте регуляторы скорости и чувствительности чтобы получить необходимый уровень громкости сигнала используйте ручку Artifacts, чтобы игнорировать щелчки от струн и другие типы шумов если этот трек с живым басом.
Так же вы можете использовать регулятор Spill, чтобы убрать посторонние шумы. Например, звук барабанов, просочившихся в микрофон во время записи бас гитары. Target и Output работают так же, как и у Vocal Rider.
У меня есть пример с живым басом давайте посмотрим, как он работает.
Вы можете слышать, как выравнивается бас я хочу показать вам автоматизацию которую мне пришлось бы прописать от руки если бы не помощь этого чудесного плагина Bass Rider.
И на самом деле это действительно экономит время. Плагин красиво удерживает соло поверх звучащих инструментов, ничто не выпрыгивает и не одна из фантомных нот не была потеряна. Все они звучат очень ясно. Vocal Rider и Bass Rider помогут вам автоматически и быстро контролировать некоторые из наиболее сложных элементов в музыке, попробуйте использовать эти плагины в ваших миксах.
