VOCRIDER

VocRider is a free vocal rider VST plugin developed by Terry West, designed to provide smooth leveling of vocal tracks in relation to the backing tracks and the rest of the mix. This tool is particularly useful for music producers and audio engineers who are looking to maintain consistent vocal levels without the need for manual fader adjustments or extensive automation.

VocRider offers a range of features that make it a valuable addition to any music production toolkit:

Setting up VocRider is relatively straightforward. The plugin requires you to hook up the vocal channel to the plugin’s left input and connect the side-chain signal to the right input.

This setup allows VocRider to use the side-chain signal to automatically adjust the vocal level. Detailed instructions for setting up VocRider in different DAWs can be found in the download pack.

While Terry West's website may experience downtime, users can still download the latest version of VocRider from the official KVR Audio forum thread. This forum also serves as a platform for users to get in touch with the developer for any questions or bug reports.
