Free [hot] Waves Vocal Chain Presets Exclusive
Unlock professional-sounding vocals without spending a dime. Our exclusive Waves vocal chain presets are designed to give you a radio-ready sound using only the most essential plugins.
- On a bad recording (room echo, plosives): The Podcast Smooth preset hid flaws remarkably well. The RBass harmonic exciter added low-end proximity that wasn't there originally.
- On a good recording (treated booth): The Cinematic Trailer Vocal preset was unusable—too much 808-style distortion. But the Soul Lead (Dry) was gorgeous: subtle 1176 compression with a tiny amount of J37 tape saturation.
- CPU Usage: Running a 5-plugin chain via StudioRack used about 8-12% on an M1 Mac. Heavy, but acceptable.
Unlock Exceptional Sound with Exclusive Free Waves Vocal Chain Presets
- Rule Breaker 1: Try putting Delay before Compression. You will get a distorted, blown-out echo perfect for punk rock.
- Rule Breaker 2: Replace H-Delay with Waves Manny Marroquin Delay for multi-dimensional ping-pong.
