The BRAND NEW Waves Silk Vocals Plugin is Amazing! (Demonstration)

Waves Audio JUST DROPPED the brand new Silk plugin!
Get it here: waves.alzt.net...
Silk is Waves answer to the Soothe 2 Plugin from Oeksound. In this video, X O'Connor (GRAMMY winning producer) walks you through how to use it to take a lifeless or "rough" vocal recording and turn it into something that sounds incredibly professional! This is a very powerful plugin, and if you're considering a purchase, this video will demonstrate exactly what Silk can do and how it works!
Note that in this video, X shows you how it works in Pro Tools, but the Silk plugin also works in Logic Pro, Ableton, Garageband, FL Studio, Cubase, Reaper, etc. :)

Dude, don't talk between the A/B's. Most people would prefer to hear the comparison without you distracting them. Play the music and bypass/enable the plugin a few times. Or better yet - process a sample and show us a comparison - processed v/s unprocessed one after the other without interference.

[@delta8447]

naw hes making important comments while comparing and barely talking over it. buy the plugin yourself if you wanna hear it that badly lol.

[@illnoyz5054]

Click the arrow on the bottom right and it will open more settings you can adjust including a gate option.

[@TexasJackdaw]

Yeah, so I’ve been looking at multiple videos reviewing this plugin. By far, your review and demonstration is the best. Thank you, man - and happy holidays. 🙏

[@OfficialFCMusic]

Thanks! Glad to help!!

[@We_Run_Up_Hills]

man! i was fiddling around with this on a time crunch, but i deff didnt discover all this on my first run through! big ups on being able to read the txt and learn a plugin on the fly!!didnt even know what it was, i thought it was just a multiband compressor

[@dirtyvibeofficial]

THIS IS SOOTHE2 KILLER !!! BELIEVE ME I JUST ACCIDENTALLY FOUND THIS ON MY PLUGIN COLLECTION ANDDD BOOM 💥 THIS OUTTA MY MIND YOU'LL GOTTA USE THIS

[@mikamulperi]

Not really

[@ViN-EzL]

@@mikamulperi naw but Curve Equator tho

[@PeterJaquesMusic]

I'm not a Waves fan at all, but this plugin is really quite good. I've been using it on various wind instruments, and it does some really nice sweetening without making it sound overcompressed or fake. Definitely well worth the price, I'd say even double the price ;) (it's free today)

[@audiosounddoctor5834]

Waves rules , even I do not like it!

[@ShaiFishman]

Excellent review, very well explained!

[@ricolivamusic]

Great demo. Sold!

[@OfficialFCMusic]

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

[@HikingWithCooper]

Waves is on a tear. I use this, clarity and dereverb for film audio cleanup. I love their simplicity and insanely low resource usage.

[@tommarko9983]

I got it!! Thanks, X!

[@fredtimothy940]

Thank you for demo-ing this. I had to ask myself, how is this much different than Manny Marroquin Tripple D? I feel like Manny should get credit for the general idea.

[@BigWickVic]

great review Waves owes you money cuz you got me sold

[@victorrashad]

New to mixing my own music... I'm thinking I'd use this as the first plugin on my chain. Am i correct in my thinking of that ?

[@markrouse3722]

check out when you click the arrow/tab on the bottom right of the plugin.

[@chriswest2491]

one of the only posts I've watched from start to finish..... This guy is the Jack Black of Waves people!!!!

[@OfficialFCMusic]

Jack black of waves. 😂

[@leventismusic]

This is literally a MB compressor

[@briansrensen8204]

Another day, another 'amazing' plug-in..

[@zacharyevrard6298]

Where would you put it in the vocal chain?

[@millyisrael1988]

Put where you put your 1st eq

[@cubby7815]

before compression, before subtractive eq and after vocal rider

[@youtubedoramon]

amazing man!

[@sonicpalacevideos]

Thanks, I understand the parameters now!

[@robertrickman3531]

I feel that this is an R6 with a PulTec3 behind it... thoughts..?

[@jeremythornton433]

As a rock musician, writer and engineer, I'm constantly trying to find out if this plugin is any good for loud tough rock vocals. So far, all the reviews ore for soft pop singers. I have it but it doesn't yet impress me.

[@psychedelicelvis-777]

I only use free "plugins" and I like "Vocal King" plugin by J-Hud Studios for my vocals, check it out on my uploads if you wanna know what it sounds like for rock and soft vocals. I use a sennheiser "stage" condenser mic for recording which is quite crisp and great for live hard rock vocals aswell !

[@Hammerman48]

Looks good!

[@deanie2477]

The best video!

[@InaktiverUser]

So this is like an substractive eq without guessing which freuquencys i Need to Lower ?

[@Stinger-o6o]

Pretty much, you could still tweak it manually with an eq but this mostly gets you there pretty quick.

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Remember there is more controls on a bar below 😊

[@gabrielthesingingpilot]

Great review I loved the energy you gave! I picked this up for free during black friday and am happy it can provide me a very quick preview into how my vocal can sound before I go in and learn how to EQ on my Pro-q3:) perhaps I'd just be wasting my time though. Cheers!

[@wadewilliams1892]

Great Video👍🏽

[@callmemainey]

Is this the soothe killer? Can I use this live? Soothe has nasty latency but I know it’s not the intended use.

[@bigtymerbitz]

The thumbnail brought me here. 🤣

[@timba2647]

Do one with rap lyrics

[@SaveManWoman]

Most of this can already be done with simple plugins. Frequency is frequency no matter where they bounce. Learn them!

[@DameunLoops]

9 MESES DE EMBARAZO. difícil confiar-

[@MasonTorrey]

It's good, but could this not be replaced with a dynamic EQ with three knobs?

[@DVMNKOV]

indeed but i would use it behind the dynamic eq to catch the nasty muddy sound

[@MasonTorrey]

@@DVMNKOV Good answer. I'll experiement with that. Thanks :)

[@wallsdownstudios4112]

If you look at the analyzers, the Silk is adjusting multiple frequency bands within those ranges. Whereas a dynamic EQ will react when any part of the frequency range exceeds the threshold, that includes reducing the good stuff along with the bad. So I'd say, use this first in your vocal chain to quickly polish the raw audio, then carve and process in context of the mix to make the vocal fit sonically. It's a wonderful tool especially when you're receiving tracks from all different artist/ studio set-ups to keep things consistent.

[@MasonTorrey]

@@wallsdownstudios4112 Thanks for the advice :)

[@charlesthomas9294]

"Naz jus wonagotu harsta broik"? What is up with female singers these days? Nice demo of the plugin, though. Not sure I want all these things in one plugin, but I could see using this to toss onto something to fast-track a better mix.

[@perf100k7]

This made me laugh out loud 😂

[@robertpekins3925]

SOOthE bro

[@gordowebb9910]

Every preset I've tried has made the vocals sound bad,

[@JesusSavesSouls]

Dont use the presets, edit it yourself.

[@Tony-yp7ok]

It sounds phasey and over processed to me - think you’re doing way too much to the signal, it sounded better before to me.

[@jjjtttggg]

If you do this, go get the plug-in… it’s super-good!!! Try it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed. (No I’m not a shill for Waves. I just downloaded the plug-in and love what it does.)

[@jjjtttggg]

PS- no idea what you mean when you say “phasey”. I’m sure you know you’re hearing that you don’t like, but Indont hear anything I would call “phasey”.

[@Tony-yp7ok]

I’ve got it and tried it - it does sound quite good when used in moderation, but it’s very easy to overdo it. The reviewer here is doing 10db of gain reduction at points and it sounds unnatural to me (unsurprisingly).

[@southernman2]

I have to disagree. Sounds way better processed.

[@Nirvanablue89]

😂 you’re crazy bro and what do you even mean “phasey”

[@GrisibagageSnnaa-qz6zw]

Never got enjoyable results with this one

[@MB-ry6ez]

Soothie 2 is way better

[@pxdemar]

200 bucks or 40? Well, you do you.

[@VM-oi3dk]

There are worse mics than that one. Must be a Fifine. It’s a pretty good mic for under $100

[@iam-music]

Great vid...thank you BUT Please be different and for demos, that go over and over, PLEASE take the pitch correction off. Everyone is doing it...cant hear a single take in the last year without it and it just sounds like AI chipmunks. :-(

[@justingreen8006]

Way way too much lip flapping. Just demo the plugin.

[@oman4D]

You are Over

[@tobytodelafontena]

Waves ? No Waves!

[@1Matthew_Knowes]

Bro jibber jabbering way to much I left to view someone else silk vocal video. No disrespect. Constructive criticism have a good day bro

[@OfficialFCMusic]

Thanks for the feedback! 🙏

[@EG-me2fn]

your energy is weird

[@nicholsonjay4724]

These plugins make such an inaudible difference…I really don’t see the point. We’re spending money on plugins that really nobody would even notice if they weren’t in the mix.

[@JTguitarlessons]

Or maybe you're the problem because your ears aren't trained to hear compression and dynamic eq???

[@Magnetic1908]

@@JTguitarlessonsI think he’s talking about color.

[@VM-oi3dk]

Huh? EQ and compression are essential. It targets all those hard to find resonances that kill me as voice actor

[@VM-oi3dk]

Did you listen with headphones? Are you new to audio perhaps ?

[@vicebheem656]

This comment is crazy..

[@frankx210]

Can't tell the difference

[@DannyGouchi]

It’s nothing I couldn’t do without, actually I can do much better without it.

[@richdesanti2686]

A USB MIC REALLY??? How about a U87? OR U47???? As a reference. IMHO USB MIC'S SUCK!

[@knotdone5292]

Lol than buy him a u87 homie. Let him use yours. What comment even is this lol he's using a low quality mic to show how well this plugin can make even such vocal work. Bruh

[@darren4635]

how much did they pay you to shill their malware?

[@YungstarProd]

Shilling a free product? But yes WUP is still crap. lol.

[@HikingWithCooper]

LOL ok.
