🎚 Vocal Rider: The Plugin That Balances Your Vocals Better Than a Human

🎙 What It Does

Vocal Rider literally rides your vocal fader for you — automatically.
You set a target level, and it adjusts the gain up or down to keep every word consistent and balanced inside your mix.

Think of it like an invisible engineer sitting beside you, moving the fader with precision, but never overdoing it.
The tone stays clean, the energy stays alive, and your mix instantly feels more expensive.

⚡ Why I Use It in Every Song

I used to spend hours drawing automation curves — zooming in, fixing peaks, balancing every line manually.
Vocal Rider made all that unnecessary.

Now I just:

1. Drop it into my vocal chain.

2. Set my target level.

3. Hit play.

It listens to the beat, reacts in real time, and adjusts dynamically so the vocal sits right in the pocket the entire time.

No compression pumping.
No over-squashing.
Just smooth, balanced volume from start to finish.

🎧 Where It Shines

• Recording vocals at home 🎙

• Mixing podcast interviews 🎤

• Leveling voiceovers for video 🎬

• Live performances (zero latency) ⚡

• Stage mixes when you need automatic control 🎚

It even writes automation for you — so if you want to fine-tune later, you can. But honestly, 90% of the time, it gets it right on its own.

💡 My Favorite Trick

Sometimes I feed a submix of the instrumental into Vocal Rider’s sidechain.
That way, it reacts dynamically to the music — pushing vocals forward during quiet parts and pulling them back when the beat hits harder.

That’s how I get those polished, radio-ready balances without spending hours editing.

🧠 For Artists Who Record Themselves

If you’re an artist recording your own vocals, this plugin is essential.
It fixes all those moments when you lean too far from the mic or get a little too hype in a verse.

It gives you up to ±12 dB of automatic gain adjustment in real time, so you can focus on performance instead of precision.

And because it adds zero latency, you can even run it during live shows or studio tracking sessions.

🎛 My Personal Chain

I usually run it right after compression in my vocal chain:
Waves Tune Real-Time → R-Vox → C6 SC → Vocal Rider → H-Reverb → L1 Limiter

That’s how I keep my tone natural while locking in perfect balance.

If you’ve used my ALEXSOY Vocal Template, you’ve already heard what Vocal Rider does — that steady, glued sound that never fights the beat.

“Before I start my vocal rides, I always use Vocal Rider to smooth out the levels.
It does an amazing job of controlling without compression.” – Rob Kinelski (Billie Eilish)
