These are MY top Waves plugin picks. What are yours? Comment below 👇🏼

[hemarahiim]

I searched a lot but I did not find anyone better than you in modifying the sound

[willnada]

Here are my top five plug-ins for vocals

1) studiorack
2)waves harmony
3)all their noise suppressors
4) CLA vocals
5)DPR 402

This is of course the top fun ones. The top 5 before that 😂 are the essentials.

[jjoseify]

Rchannel, wavestune realtime (on the audio track), rvox, and F6 (on the vocal aux) in that order. Low latency and very clean vocals

[jaydabliu]

WOW... so comprehensive, bro.. This is so amazing. and that NS1 always does wonders

[colebeatz]

Scheps Omni channel an underrated channel strip. They also just released the magma tube channel strip with the BB tubes algorithm. Both of those are great. Also can’t forget about CLA-76 and CLA Vocals

[MightyJoYung]

Exactly what I needed to see! Preesh! 🙏🏾

[jmendezbeatz]

You helped me out so much!!! Can’t wait for my mixing session tonight I’ll be trying out some of these plugins!! New subscriber here! 🔥

[SecretStarDistribution]

Yerrr i made my template with all this plugins… thanks for the video 🔥

[iamhunterreece]

thanks for the super in-depth info, appreciate you!

[sativaviolet]

i notice that too w the cla-2a... waves pushes through more

[MMMOnthabeat]

Question, Is it better to mix on the mono vocal track itself, or do I send it to an Aux Stereo and mix on the aux track?

[GlennKelly]

I wish you could have compared bypassed and in-use examples with the exact same section of audio.

[itsjuzito]

Hey 5piece. i have all of those plugins you mentions thank u for the explanation.
i wonder if you can make a video about how plugins effect incoming sound after a certain gain pushed into them. like 18dbfs. or 0 in a VU meter. :)
thanks for the time u putting into theses videos. i apricate u :)

[ManManGambino]

For some reason i like the waves la2a better then uad la2a i feel like waves la2a is more smoother

[hoodiedoodie]

Maybe a weird question, but what is the best way to get formal education in sound engineering?? Do you have any recommendations (preferably Toronto area)?

[WinItReigns]

Are you drawn to not only the number 5, but 55, and 555 also?

Just curious.



Great channel man😊

[realityhurtsrcspaced]

[Codeofficial]

Awesome, learn a lot from u, thank you ♥♥♥

Maybe I'm in the minority these days, but I do wish that vocal plugin demos would be done on actual proper singing vocals instead of dreary flat hiphop samples which are basically just regular talking.
