You can also compress MORE without worrying about it :) amazing tutorial thank you!

[@getstew]

Thanks for this! I work in Production and podcast and was really having trouble getting Vocal Rider to work without sounding jerky and terrible. I shortened that range (and set it to slow) ...much better. Thanks, man!

[@mariomarcos2148]

Lml I feel like Devon always sounds like he about to say shooby du wop

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Lmao wat??!!

[@r0mediddy]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 dead!!!

[@TheRealCellus]

Definitely 😂

​@@HelpMeDevvon 😂😂😂😂 nah that's foul..............but true

[@GermonoToussaint]

This is the first video that has made this make sense to me.

[@nelswebs]

You could just automate the volume, or just make the loud part’s unique and bring volume down (I’m an fl user)

[@nomasskkLNF]

I was literally hoping you had a video about this. I listened to other vids but nobody breaks it down like u.

[@txfaulk795]

I just started using this plugin for a mix this video is right on time thxx👍🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@ManMediaTz]

Please can you make a video, how to mix podcast with wave plugins.

[@47Libra]

Thanks bro!

[@nathanielbrown8718]

If you're a REAL man, mix your vocals in FL STUDIO 💯

[@ProdbyTISZY]

Go ask your local professional engineer and you are not going to like the answer. If you want to make a living doing this you are going to have to learn Protools., yes, other DAWs do similar things but you are not going to find many studios that mix records in FL. Good luck.

[@mattelder4269]

Anyone know of a waves alternative for this plugin? Thanks!

[@richardhowse4684]

this is a waves plugin

[@mattelder4269]

@@richardhowse4684 I meant the other way around

[@TheRussianGenius]

I've owned this plugin for years and still go check out vids ones in a while lol, great plugin tho, very similar to compressor, but very different at same time

[@stealthstar4]

I love how he talks to us like we are brand new alien fetuses. It helps so much because it is understandable. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@AdelSweezy]

That's a game changer moov for my vocal preset thank you

[@DevotedToYah]

You've been such a huge help to my vocals over the last 3 years. Thank you Devvon. Respects!!!!

[@ronperry7043]

Nice bro. Just a tip. You should also record an automation in low buffer so you won’t have much latency and reducing transients more accurately

[@smpiggystudio]

Nice tip too

[@Team7_Ninjutsu]

Tell us more…elaborate please

[@guycohen14]

What????

[@1245MusicLLC]

I appreciate the way you explain the software you demonstrate. For example. every other demo I've watched for Vocal Rider simply said, "set your range." You provided context and gave that extra jewel so we can make informed decisions when applying what was learned. Kudos my Dude. 👏🏾

[@cooperdeniro9189]

This is a cheat code to “novice” engineers like me. Before discovering vocal rider, compression was a dice roll for me if I recorded anybody other than myself. Keep pushing out these gems bro you’re saving lives 💯

[@tobysandovaloficial]

Excellent explanation! What do you think about side-chaining with the rest of the instruments ?Thanks

[@keyonmosley422]

Lately I've been using clip gain automation in pro tool. Basically vocal rider but a more control over the volume.

[@musicxtech6680]

man. i love u dev but recent event makes me look at WAVES products sourly

[@cokesdidit]

It’s always great to see you do what you on a regular. HMD 👍🏾

[@HOTROD256969]

Do you still use compression after this?? Or do you use automation and vocal rider ?

[@TJenga]

My engineer homie from Atlanta just showed me this trick a month or so ago. It definitely makes a difference

[@bellsbeat3735]

Dope video Sir, No One dose it better than you 🤗, Now my struggles has come to and End with Leveling. i was doing it manually🥴😟trust me it was so difficult to Archive.

[@BLASCOTheVLOGGER]

Does this exist for fl studio? lol I feel like I bought the wrong program

[@TwoWrights]

This is an excellent explanation on what Vocal Rider does and how it is best used for vocals. I've been using it for a while on dialogue editing for podcasts and it's a godsend for podcast editors like me. Combining this with Clarity vx, I almost don't have to use a gate anymore, but the processing time on Clarity can be a monster when bouncing out an hour long chat. My question to you is, what plugins, in what order, would you mix and process a podcast? How would you set up a music sidechain on ProTools for adding theme music? What would your template be for a podcast. I've been doing it one way for years and I would love to have an update in skills and best practices for podcasting from you specifically. You are one of the only ProTools KZbinrs who actually know how to teach this stuff properly.

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Appreciate u very much for this! Vocal rider has saved me many times from doing to much!

[@Kelly-rz1tn]

Literally just preset it to smooth vocal before your serial compression and your gooood

[@Itsanasmusic]

Damn I needed this one I was using the vocal rider yesterday and I always get confused by how that plugin actually works even tho it seems so obvious. Thank you Devvon!

[@piqueziko]

I keep making improvements to my mixes and masters cz of your detailed analysis, thank you very much Devon 💪

[@manganyemoeng6756]

One thing I like about you, your interpretation of every knob makes more sense than just fiddling with each one of them.

[@caulterkeith7301]

Can i use it in vocal record chain? Or is it better to have voc rec chain empty because of latency?

[@Deckie1969]

Great tutorial thank you!! What about the automation buttons?

[@jestercol]

Jah bless brother, the way you always explain things is more than Gold worth. More power to you bro. Adidi music Germany

[@Jayspitter]

Vocal rider is Very helpful when you dealing with dynamic vocals 🔥💯

[@fractionalist]

Great! Just Great, thank you!

[@oompapompaa6543]

So you can think of the target as the threshold or ceiling?

[@BeatCoynz]

Yes really nie advice. Bit in this extreme case when the vocals are too dynamic I make it with handwork. I use the game changer first.

[@7fingas7]

so sorry i thought i was already subscribed...

[@FaktoRiSonStudio]

I Used Him... Its Been a Long Time

[@GabeWilliams]

I’ve just been cutting the vocal up and clip gaining them to be more even 😢 thank you sm

[@Ktheengineer]

Great stuff. Please do an updated vocal chain tutorial. I would love to see what’s on your VMR and how you use it. Thanks 9:56

[@overlookcoach3157]

using it wrong.

[@smpiggystudio]

Wonderful tips. Have that plugin but never really know how to use it, now I get it, thanks Devvon.

[@chrishierro3]

Too may plugins man. I forgot I had this and it's so useful. Especially when you don't want to add color from a compressor.

[@oompapompaa6543]

How do you know what range to stay between??

[@ayo_pdj]

I learned this in illangelo’s mwtm class

[@nerolifong1824]

really love the way you explain the concept in easy to understand language

[@PPEZEH]

Doing it manually is always the best if you have the time.

[@obidavekenobe]

I love the waves bass rider plugin😊

[@Mouchaa]

should this be before or after a de esser?

[@chamobeats]

U know wa u do ooohh!!!❤

[@pattanrecords]

Nice tutorial 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Memza]

Thank God i met you watched a lot of videos tryna understand Vocal Rider but didn't get no help. i get it all naw thank you so much King i just Subscribed, Liked & this my Comment i'm sending Hearts❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾❤️

[@lopezmictech]

I’ve been diving into vocal rider and it’s dope but could you do an explanation on automating it? Cause using vocal rider on multiple VOX tracks uses up my CPU so fast, and I noticed it has an automation feature but is there a way to “COMMIT” the Vocal Rider and then just use your vocal chain plugins on it after? 🤔

[@itzshayne_]

I think once it’s good 👍🏻, print it to a new track and move to the next.

[@hawkeshiphop]

Thought I’d share - Just tried this (first in the chain) side by side against Waves Maxx Vol (just raising the lower level comp then dropping the lower level gain accordingly) & feel like Maxx Vol won. I know it’s comp, but since it’s only lower level it’s super transparent

[@Lateful]

I never knew how to use it tbh thank you so much 😮

[@PaperBoat.]

Seems Pro MB better.

[@gregpoland4876]

Thanks bro

[@Raw_id]

Hey Devvon...thanks for your clear, definitive explanation and demonstration. Made perfect sense especially as I'm not familiar with this plugin.

[@idane1234]

FIREE

[@NasaRecordsTheHitFactory]

king you the best now i fully understand the vocal rider clearly thanks bro

[@martinaatmusicmarcom6157]

nice cans :)

[@tonyp8546]

I just found you because I purchased Vocal Rider and had already watched a bunch of other people's videos on how to set the "settings" and it wasn't clear from their videos, and then came across yours and it got it through my thick skull :D. Thank you, Devvon!

[@afrolead]

PhD in teaching

[@joelkayima5696]

is there's a Logic Pro alternative?

[@Glime7879]

No

[@frasersuman9120]

Big fan from Malawi 🇲🇼, you indeed helped me Devvon 😅

[@JackMooney]

Love your room and the comprehensive tutorial man, keep both that sh*t up yo! :D

[@nelsonange1313]

🐐

[@DJVilLe]

good tutorial on this beast of a plugin

[@SarahSpencerMusic]

Ahh I so appreciate your teaching style, ty for how you explain this 😭

[@mcrafford]

Can Vocal Rider be used as a compressor without vocals? I like the graphic interface and how it makes more sense as to what settings do what.

[@BinaryTrip]

Such information on this plug in!! This video really explained and helped me understand it!

[@boneburied]

Good Stuff, Thanx for keeping it simple.

[@sarquicejohnson3927]

I had this plug in fa a couple years. But bro u broke it down to the T 😂 damn good shit

[@dottaman]

I've been working on some old vocals, kind of seeing what I can do with what I know now since recording the vocals, I have vocal rider but over looked it when setting up my chain

[@RicherPodcast]

Do you usually bounce in place after you’ve found your Vocal Rider settings?

[@caulterkeith7301]

The best tutorial for Vocal Rider on YT. Thx, bro!

[@VaseLu]

Bought it earlier today, thanks Devvon!

[@SkinnEmannProductions]

Nailed it

You Can Get It If U Got The Waves Bundle9

I watch these quite often tbh.

Got vocal rider 3 months ago and shits been a game changer for me 💯

[@lucianappleton1212]

Yeah I got the perpetual license for that

[@dante3904]

You are truly blessing.Truly.

[@ChoppaboyDinero123]

Do you use the same range on all vocals ?

[@markkirschenmann3925]

Super useful, thanks so much for posting!

[@xaevyxae9624]

Sounds like someone needs to make a compressor with an intuitive vocal rider feature. I feel like I already don’t have a lot of room at the beginning of my vocal chain

[@xaevyxae9624]

Also I feel a better explanation of the vocal and music button would of been awesome cause those two button I never really got. But thanks a lot Devon. Definitely appreciate you and all your hardwork.
