Waves Audio’s Bass Rider plug-in rides bass levels automatically.
A companion to the Vocal Rider plug-in, Bass Rider manages bass levels without changing the source sound of the bass. Optimised for the bass frequency range and envelope characteristics of bass instruments, Bass Rider will handle DI, amplified, acoustic, synth and upright applications.
Unlike a compressor, Bass Rider is claimed to work note-by-note, ‘without disturbing their inner dynamics, so they sustain and decay naturally’.
