For years I made pilot error decisions with plug ins. They leave nothing behind(with obvious exeptions). I just have to play devils advocate for a minute and have some philosophical banter with you on this:). I never knock something before you try it and I definitely admit, I've never tried it. Side chaining comps are very useful so it sounds like this is somewhere between. Or, what I'm doing to the center to rub it with the sides. So, every time I use something, especially on the center Vox, snare, kick and bass, I always think about what I am steeling away from the entire mix, not just the track, but the entire mix. I've never noticed one plug-in to date that didn't leave something behind that was worth what it did well. I'm running for the hills on most things today lol. And, like most good ideas, it seems entirely obvious when viewed with the benefit of hindsight. To achieve the same level of consistency through manually writing automation data would be extremely time-consuming and probably still wouldn’t achieve such precise results, so I don’t think I’m going too far in suggesting that this could be one of the most significant new ideas in plug-ins since automatic pitch correction. I found Vocal Rider fairly intuitive in use and the results sounded very natural, allowing me to be more discriminating in the use of any compression subsequently added. But if it saves a bunch of labour and can kiss something enough without leaving residue or an automated feel to it, right on. I guess out of sheer ignorance or lack of hearing it, I figure, if a track is this bad, do it over. PS: Get the vocalist to work the mic properly is ALWAYS going to make a better recording! That determines the range of volume the Rider is allowed to operate in, and sets it's "resting" position. Without it, you're getting half the usage.Īnd remember to adjust those little arrows and stuff to the left of that big fader. Half of what the Rider does is based on what comes down the sidechain. I usually set mine to fast and max sensitivity, but it depends.Īlso, don't forget to activate the sidechain (check the manual), and then send some things into that sidechain. By the time the signal gets to the Rider, the mud has been cut out and the "room" has been gated out, so it won't respond to those things.
Gate: I set my gate to gently roll off 1/4 second after threshold, and usually from 5-15 ms of attack. The exact frequency will vary depending on circumstance.Ģ. Cut everything below 200Hz to get the mud out. Here's the chain I find works best on vocals:ġ. Some people here disagree with me using it, but I'm not a top-rate engineer so I use it to 'fix' things I shoulda' fixed myself.
