The plug in that I would like to talk about this month would be the Waves Vocal Rider. This plug in saves me so much time during the final stages of mixing vocals. Insert this plug in onto your final vocal track and it literally rides the fader for you during automation, maintaining a balance between your vocals and instruments. This really fine tunes your vocals in the mix and is definitely a must have in my book. Keep in mind that this doesn't, shrink or change any dynamic range in the vocals it simply preserves the dynamics while riding the track volume as it blends in with the instrumental. I work on countless sessions that involve mixing vocals whether its ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) for film, band recordings that involves a lead vocalist and I cant tell you how much time and extra work I've saved my self by owning this plug in. You can also run this plug in on a live set as well which I think is amazing. You can use this on a Mac or PC as long as you have the required operating system needed and can run with any DAW system that supports AAX native, RTAS, AudioSuite and AU. Want to see how its done?
