Salvatore Sorice Posted Monday at 09:16 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:16 PM I'm still a newbie on mixing but did use Waves Vocal Rider on a project and it seemed to work well. This Youtube short (by @BigZMusic - he has some good content) says that you can use Fabfilter ProC (or similar) to achieve the same result. Opinions? Youtube short - Vocal Rider is a waste of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mettelus Posted Monday at 09:53 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:53 PM His comment is accurate. The term "riding the fader" is another thing you might find interesting. Prior to compressors, engineers needed to manually adjust gain (real time) via faders alone. Compressors eased a lot of that need (and are one of the most used FX), but it is also important to understand compressors and their application. Rather than get a plugin the "does things for you," it is often far better to understand "common" tools and how to use them properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Monkey Posted Tuesday at 12:09 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:09 AM (edited) Like volume automation. I remember when you had to have 3 people sitting at the mixer as the 16 track rolled to feed the 2Track. We each had a list of fader moves. using the tape counter but mostly our ears and remembering what we had to do. Teamwork. I thought I had died and gone to heaven when I got my Yamaha 01v with motorized faders! Edited Tuesday at 12:10 AM by Sock Monkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
