Versatile Vocal Processing and Powerful Dynamics Control
Vocals are, without a doubt, one of the most challenging elements of music to mix. Not only are the nuances of every voice different, but how you might address the issues you encounter in the studio will depend on many additional variables. This is where the Waves Silk Vocal plug-in enters the frame. Silk Vocal is a smart EQ and dynamics processor engineered to minimize disruptions to visual clutter and overall workflow while providing a diverse array of sonic sculpting tools to help eliminate guesswork and intuitive access to various detailed solutions. Waves’s groundbreaking smart vocal engine technology is deployed with Silk by automatically scanning for resonances across roughly 2,000 distinct analysis bands, giving you a swath of options and approaches for addressing potential issues without eroding the human touch (or, ear, as it were). Harshness, boominess, and sibilance can be painlessly removed, while liner phase-processing curves, dedicated male and female voice modes, and an instantly adjustable midrange tuning control ensure ample power in finalizing your vocals without sacrificing character or musicality. Recording engineers at Sweetwater were delighted to learn that Silk Vocal features a built-in highpass filter, coupled with deep controls for gating, mixing, band soloing, band bypassing, Delta, Speed, and Precision. It all equates to a one-stop shop for full-spectrum vocal excellence.
