Manual
The Vocal Rider free plugin by Casa Occidente provides a detailed guide on how to use the software to automatically balance vocal levels during a mix:
Overview
Vocal Rider is designed to automate the process of adjusting vocal levels in a mix. Instead of relying solely on static compression or manual fader riding, it continuously monitors the vocal signal and applies dynamic gain adjustments to maintain a consistent level.
Plugin Interface & Controls
User Interface: Key parameters include:
-
Rider: Visually represents the amount of gain change (boost or reduction) that the plugin is applying to the signal.
- Usage: By watching this dynamic display, you can see how much the plugin is adjusting the vocal level in real time.
- Target: The desired vocal level that the plugin will try to maintain.
- Vocal Sensitivity: Controls the vocal detector sensitivity, which differentiates vocal content from noise floor, spill, and ambience, and identifies the beginnings and endings of words.
-
Music Sensitivity: Determines the amount Vocal Rider adapts to changes in instrumental levels. (“Instrumental” refers to all tracks other than the vocal). Range: -6 to +6 dB.
- Please note: To use this control, the instrumental mix bus must be assigned to the Vocal Rider side-chain input.
- Output: Adjust output gain at any given moment.
Workflow Integration
Optimal placement in the signal chain: typically before other processors like compressors or equalizers.
Operational Principles
Algorithm Details: By tracking the dynamic range, the plugin automatically adjusts the gain to keep the vocal level steady, even as the performance varies.
