Waves announced two new vocal-processing plug-ins at AES, as well as a vocal-processing bundle.
Tune is an advanced pitch-correction ReWire tool that offers a new level of sonic transparency. Users can correct individual notes or entire melodies as easily as editing MIDI notes, while formant correction provides natural-sounding results. Users can set the reference notes, pitch, root note, key, type of scale (incuding custom scales), and range of singer. Natural vibrato is identified and can be increased or reduced; synthetic vibrato can also be added. A Line tool makes glissandi and transition effects easy; a Scissors tool separates notes for individual manipulation. All editing is non-destructive, and the final vocal line can be exported as a MIDI file for creating harmonies, counter-melodies, or instrumental doubling of vocals.
DeBreath detects breath segments and separates them out. This allows their level to be altered without affecting the rest of the signal. DeBreath can also be used to separate breaths and vocal onto different tracks allowing independent processing and special effects.
The new Waves Vocal Bundle includes Tune, DeBreath, Renaissance Channel, Renaissance DeEsser, and Doubler – a complete toolkit for producing world-class vocal tracks.
