Waves Renaissance Vox
Hailed by Drake’s producer Noah “40” Shebib as “one of the most important vocal plugins ever made,” R-Vox has become the go-to vocal compressor for countless Grammy®-winning engineers, working with vocalists from Beyoncé to Billie Eilish. With 3 focused and efficient controls, R-Vox is the quickest route to a legendary vocal sound.
Most of the action happens “under the hood,” with parameter values calculated in real time for specific vocal styles. Tweak the Gate, Compression, and Output Gain—then become inspired.
The Smoothness Vocals Demand
Renaissance Vox uses a soft-knee compression curve, so the dynamics “slide” into compression instead of hitting hard. This gives the voice a smooth, luxurious, and above all, consistent sound quality.
Cut the Confusion: Easy Interface, Fast Results
Compression, gating, limiting, and level maximization are all controlled automatically in the background to deliver optimum results. Choose the compression amount, banish hiss with the gate, adjust the gain, and go.
Clean Vocals with Gentle Downward Expansion
Rather than use a brute-force gate to get rid of noise, R-Vox uses gentle downward expansion. Once R-Vox detects there’s no vocal, the output drops smoothly, but is ready to come back up instantly when needed.
Start with Presets by Grammy-Winning Pros
Presets by leading producers and engineers such as Greg Wells (Adele), Dave Pensado (Justin Timberlake), Michael Brauer (Coldplay) make it even easier to get started with the right sound. Though honestly, R-Vox is as simple as it gets—most of the time just pull the slider up and down until it sounds best!)
