Great work Chris. What I do is actually get a decent lane of automation going and then turn off vocal rider and paste the automation to the input gain and never look at, if needed though you just manually tweak. If manually pasting, you do have paste the first node at 0 db etc but you can also create a macro using logical editor that does it with 1 mouse click...mostly. I always scale and smooth it a little as its just too easy to iron the life out of it...its those unexpected things of expression that make it human.

I've used this plugin before but never to write automation. That is a great tip. I've had some annoying experiences with this plugin where I've gotten an over-compressed sound when putting it at the end of the chain. For example, trying to turn up vocals a bit and this is restricting them. I've never used at the beginning of the chain so I might give that a try in lieu of chopping and tweaking audio snippet volumes for the vocals which is my usual method.

@nilskarig9117 Жыл бұрын

Hi Chris, you're one of the most helpful teachers for me, especially for production with cubase. I like this video about the vocal rider. Today I was trying to print the results into the audio file using render in place. It hasn't been successful. I had no other plugin inserted. I just wanted to have the levelled audio to do some final adjustments manually afterwards. After writing with the automation I switched the channel and vocal rider to read mode but it didn't work. Then I tried to insert another plugin, e.g. a hard driven limiter and that was printed to the audio without anny problem. What am I doing wrong to get the vocal ride printed ?

@TheDriverDown 4 жыл бұрын

I like to use my cc121 for riding vocals, it’s more flexible and I can make choices in the rides that waves rider can’t. Also, I learned that riding is more meant for supporting the dynamics in relation to the track, not so much controlling or policing them.

@mixdownonline 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, if you rider the vocals after all FX, and I do ride the vocals (manually) in context for sure but how I use Vocal Rider (If so) is before that point to even out the dynamics before going through the chain, at this point, it's the dynamic of the recording that I focus on opposed to the relation with the mix.

Hi Chris, if Vocal Rider (VR) is an insert, already "leveling", I'm not sure why the automation is necessary? I'm sure I'm very wrong, and I will learn something in your response, but it seems to me the automation is only going to tell vocal rider to do what it's already doing as an insert on the track anyway. Kind of like if I play a piano part, and the engineer creates a sheet music score from it, and then puts that music in front of me and says, "play this". I don't need the sheet music to follow something "I created". Thank you so much for these GREAT videos, and I hope my question makes sense.

@greedokenobi3855 Жыл бұрын

I think the pro of it would be that it enables you to tweak the autmation to taste whenever needed. And imo it kind of needs the tweaking in many cases, in my experience anyway. It can get me in the ballpark but usually not all the way there until I tweak the automation.

Good question. Using this plugin, automating the Gain manually or using clip gain is, yes, to compensate for an improper vocal recording or just to even out big dynamics out of a vocal take that would drive a compressor crazy otherwise. A compression will even out the dynamics but can sound over compressed when dealing with a vocal that is too dynamic and this is where using gain automation or Vocal Rider can come in hand :-)
