Waves have released Silk Vocal, a vocal EQ and dynamics processor, available as a FREE download during the Black Friday weekend, increasing to $24.99 after the promotion. Silk will be included both in Waves Essentials and Ultimate subscription plans.
Silk Vocal is a Smart EQ and Dynamics processor that takes your vocals from raw all the way to balanced and mixed. Its innovative vocal engine knows where and when to dynamically process resonances, letting you control how much to use
Silk Vocal accelerates your vocal mixing and gets you results that would usually take numerous other plugins.
There are four Silk Vocal components:
- Silk Vocal -mono and stereo
- Silk Vocal Live – mono and stereo
Silk Vocal is ideally suited for mixing and postproduction. It uses linear phase filters to provide very accurate vocal processing. This enables precise frequency control, but it introduces latency. Plugin latency is dependent on the sample rate of the session.
Silk Vocal Live is designed for live performances and real time shows, where near-zero latency is essential. Silk Vocal Live is equipped with minimum-phase filters for very low latency. CPU usage varies depending on the sample rate and buffer size of your project and DAW.
Silk Vocal performs several time-consuming tasks by automatically detecting and reducing disruptive frequencies. With minimal interaction, Silk delivers cleaner, punchier vocals, enhancing your mix’s transparency and clarity. Silk combines the functions of a parametric EQ, de-esser, dynamic EQ, and vocal compressor, cutting down your workflow time significantly.
Unlike traditional tools, Silk is adaptive, allowing precise control over frequency attenuation, ensuring a clear vocal sound. Silk Vocal is user friendly and fairly light on CPU, streamlining the otherwise complex process of achieving balanced vocals. It operates in real time, requiring little to no automation, saving you from the dreaded chore of vocal track preparation and making more time for creative mixing. Less tedium and more mixing!
Silk Vocal is available to PC and Mac users (VST2, VST3, AU and AAX).
