Waves StudioRack Preset "Desert Island" Vocal Chain

DESERT ISLAND VOCAL CHAIN - Waves Plugins Only

Demo

 - CLEAN MUD: Cleans up annoying resonances in the voice caused by the microphone proximity effect when recording, and also helps reduce unnecessary low frequencies in the mix, thus creating space for other instruments.

 - DE-ESSER: Uses a combination of traditional de-esser and resonance suppression to remove "S" and other harsh sounds from the voice in a natural and transparent manner.

 - PREAMP: Provides a pleasing distortion generated by preamp saturation, giving the voice character and making it pop in the mix.

 - COMP: Evens out the dynamics of the voice, giving it character, and bringing the voice to the front of the mix, just like professionally mixed records with the turn of a knob.

 - TONE: Instantly adds presence and body to the voice. AIR: Add the final touch of polish to give the voice a chance to breathe and achieve that crystal-clear sound of pro productions.
 - TUNE: Correct the vocal's pitch. The effect becomes stronger and more noticeable as you turn this knob to the right. Adjust it depending on the musical genre you're working with. (Don't forget to select the correct key of the song first to avoid tuning issues.)

 - EFFECTS: With just one knob, you'll be adding a host of different effects that will initially work 99% of the time. You can always go to the CLA Epic plugin and make any necessary modifications. Don't worry about turning it all the way to the right and covering the vocals, as it won't work. It's compressed by default using the external SC so that the vocals always take center stage.
