Instead of manually riding the physical mixing console fader, or tediously drawing in each individual level change on a DAW track, Vocal Rider does it for you, making it a true timesaver.Īll you need to do is set the target range of the vocal level in relation to the rest of the mix.

Some I paid too much for so I always wait for their best sales after being burned a few times on ones that I thought did not live up to the hype.
