{"product_id":"waves-silk-vocal-1","title":"Waves Silk Vocal","description":"\u003cp\u003eTake your vocals from raw to pro, in no time. With 2000 analysis bands, Silk Vocal targets problematic resonances and balances your vocal tracks. Tell the plugin where to focus, the smart engine will do the work\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMixing vocals is challenging, and every vocal is different. Resonant frequencies, boominess, harshness \u0026amp; sibilance prevent vocals from sitting in the mix, and removing them sensitively requires time, precision and accurate monitoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccelerate your vocal mixing. Start working with Silk.\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmploying innovative technology, Silk automatically detects resonances across 2000 analysis bands. Its smart vocal engine decides where and when processing should occur— you decide how much. Try it, see how fast you mix vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA New Approach to Mixing Vocals\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eImagine having up to 2000 analysis bands listening to your vocal in real time, and only processing when necessary. The guesswork of mixing is prevented, and your vocal can be trusted to translate across listening devices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSilk is like power-steering your way to the finish line of the mix. Intelligently speed past the technicalities and you’ll be less fatigued when you make creative mix decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLow\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis knob tightens the boomy, muddy and inflated low end that vocals often have due to proximity effect \u0026amp; room issues when recording.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing Silk’s smart processing for this purpose – rather than a regular or dynamic EQ – will ensure the natural warmth of the vocal stays intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMid\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe midrange is the most critical area in the vocal to get right in mixing. Simply turn the knob for smart processing to take place.\u003cbr\u003eYou’ll hear a reduction in harshness and bite without losing the voice’s character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can adjust the mid-range processing with the assistance of two automatable handles that let you focus the frequency range for much more accurate processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHigh\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome vocal recordings contain Sibilance, which are those distracting ‘s’, ‘sh’ or ‘t’ sounds jumping out aggressively. Other times, you’re dealing with a smeared and overly resonant treble sound in the super-high frequencies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToggle between Sibilance and High processing to see which gives you the smoothest \u0026amp; most balanced top end. Tip: Use solo and delta to hear what’s being reduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDynamics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dynamics section features the most musical single-dial compression possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce you’ve tonally balanced your vocals with the smart EQ, a few dB of compression helps to keep them tight, upfront and consistent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe link handle applies output gain compensation to the compression, which prevents the addition of unwanted level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuto Makeup Gain\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe default setting of the plugin is with auto makeup gain on, which means the smart EQ reduction is continuously and adaptively compensated with a level increase. You have the option of turning this off and setting your own levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced Settings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHPF is a high-pass filter at 60 Hz, which filters out sub frequencies from the vocal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpeed adjusts the envelope of the smart EQ processing. It is a fixed attack-release ratio, and depending on the vocal you may choose faster or slower processing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrecision adjusts the sharpness of the Q in each of the processing bands. Choose lower values for more surgical processing, and higher values for smoother results.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGate can be used in a traditional manner to eliminate unwanted noises between vocal passages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMix knob allows you to blend the entire Silk processing between 0% and 100%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSilk Vocal Live\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen you purchase Silk Vocal you also get Silk Vocal Live – a real time version of the same plugin. It operates like the original but utilizes minimum phase curves rather than linear phase and thus, it has a much lower latency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis means you can record with Silk Vocal Live, monitoring exactly how the plugin sounds on your voice in real time. Of course, this version will also benefit live engineers, and is SoundGrid compatible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmart EQ \u0026amp; dynamics processor for vocals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove boominess, harshness and sibilance from vocals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes license for Silk Vocal Live, a real-time version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMale voice \u0026amp; female voice modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes High Pass Filter, Gate, Mix, band solo, band bypass, Delta, Speed \u0026amp; Precision controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaw vocals to balanced \u0026amp; mixed vocals in no time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccelerate your vocal mixing \u0026amp; remove guesswork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeamless \u0026amp; musical dynamics control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinear phase processing curves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable midrange tuning for more focused processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eRequirements:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emac\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ecpu\u003c\/strong\u003e:Intel or Silicon Architecture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eram\u003c\/strong\u003e:8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003edisk\u003c\/strong\u003e:0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eversion\u003c\/strong\u003e:macOS Catalina 10.15, Big Sur 11, Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003esupport\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e64_bit\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eplugins\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVST-3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAAX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewindows\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ecpu\u003c\/strong\u003e:X64 compatible Intel or AMD CPU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eram\u003c\/strong\u003e:8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003edisk\u003c\/strong\u003e:0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eversion\u003c\/strong\u003e:Windows 10 64 bit Windows 11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003esupport\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e64_bit\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eplugins\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVST-3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAAX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eVideos:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2H08mqiDv-c\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xpc3Db6EIHg\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/icNBkLF-3UE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PyJf18MP5h8\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56119429824844,"sku":"CHO-1178-3012","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/4652\/3724\/files\/silk-vocal_dec9d6a0-d9e6-4a08-a9ea-5449ae8d6770.png?v=1764473616","url":"https:\/\/pluginbay.net\/products\/waves-silk-vocal-1","provider":"Pluginbay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
