Sounds great! That second pop track you can really tell how well it cleaned up by how the verb stops jumping in response to those peaks. Butter verb after! 😊💪🏼
Thank you for a well versed walk through on this. I got mine today and had watched a less informative tutorial.......but I slapped it onto a vocal track to check it out. I think I just eliminated about 4 or 5 plugins from my chain using Silk.
Thanks Bobby!!!
Thanks for the heads up on this and thanks for the deep dive. I’m going to try this out later!
Wow, not only did you give a great tutorial on the new silk plugin, you may have sold me on the clarity plugin. I'm recording in an untreated room (renting, so it's not my place) and I hate how I get natural reverb. I want to be the one adding the reverb as I see fit. THANK YOU!!!
Thanks for making this video! I'm going to have to try this out!
Got this free plugin yesterday, so I watched several videos on it's use. Yours did the best job of explaining the functions in a clear and concise way, well done!
This is pretty awesome ! Thanks for showing us ! So if I’m understanding correctly , this is something you add early on as a clean up / subtractive thing right ? Then carry on with additive eqs , compressors , reverbs etc after on the chain ? Thank you
Thanks for making this man! Just grabbed it and there are absolutely no tutorials anywhere else yet for it lol Cheers

Nice gift from Waves. Works pretty well. For smoothers - against Vastus, it is better. Smooth Operator? Similar too. Silk really is a bit better than the others, but could be used combined with them. Regarding Clarity, I'd want to use the Pro version in a live setting as we use plugins for live events and you can definitely hear the room noise.
I put this on my acoustic guitar bus yesterday, and it's so nice! Try it!
Great video as usual from you. Is there any application that Silk could be used for in voice over/audiobook narration?
Great plugin. Also have smooth operator but for vocals 9/10 times you are going to be targeting the frequencies that this does. Add it the mini RVox Compressor and it's good to go.
I started using Nectar 3 Elements on all vox, and I think this is going to take it up a notch. Nectar killed the vocals a bit, so I left my limited and saturated/excited duplicate track off, and added it back after Nectar did it's thing, but that's also added some resonance back too, so I think it's going to be just what I need! I had smooth operator in the cart ready for Black Friday (happened to be my payday), but then I got this for free!
Nice Plugins. Please, what reverb and delay FX are you using?
Great video. This is definitely a dope plug-in.
Great video, thank you so much!
I love what I hear from this plugin. It is a process chain saving plugin; I can clean a vocal and also add character to the vocal with a single plugin. After this plugin, I can review my vocal chain to add those "perfect" tweaks with less processing.
Like Sooth2 but specifically for vocals? Pretty nice considering it's free right now
You can deverb with so many plugins nowadays. It’s great.
I like this plugin ❤
The clarity VX gets rid of ambient noise, the de-reverb is for reverb
Just purchased it…. Would this work with the LV1 live?.. I’ve just purchased the 16/ch software while awaiting the arrival of the ionic/16ch… I have a simple two piece vocal setup so only need to focus on live vocals
Lol great vid brada🔥🔥🔥. Just installed mine in FL studios. Yo who's rap in the beginning😅man's was spitting bars🗣
you didn't install shit.. the whole free silk vocal is pure BS after jumping though all the steps just to get it with email setting up an account still can't activate it or use it.. it's pure bait & switch.
Have you tried contacting waves?
Here is the full song m.soundcloud.com/jermbizle/4-whyd-you-do-it?in=jermbizle%2Fsets%2Funcharted-territory
Jerm is a lyrical genius. He writes some of the best lyrics I've ever heard.
Salut,
J'ai obtenu ce plugin gratuitement, mais je ne l'ai quasiment pas utilisé...juste une fois pour mettre un filtre sur la voix, ça a bien fonctionné.
Mais je trouve que le silk sait faire des voix "modernes" mais qui sonnent trop aigües et qui manquent de vie et de corps, pour mon goût personnel. Tu m'as donné envie de l'essayer encore, mais je ne suis pas sûr qu'il réponde à mes attentes.
03:49 That arrow it's only for adjusting the graph's resolution!
I'll have to pull it into plugin doctor to verify! Thanks for letting me know.
Would have been nice to hear it demonstrated on some actual singing.
Good question seems simplistic thing to do
Does it find the resonance for you? Or is it just the same as a dynamic EQ ?
Watch the video. Basically works like Soothe2, Smooth Operator, Vastaus as what you just said - looks and finds the harsher resonances. But the three frequency range graphs even point out what is happening, like Soothe2. Definitely get it - it's nice.
Lyrics are so bizzare on both songs lol 😂 That being said great tutorial 🙏🏼
I know right haha! In context they are actually really clever, but just a few bars they sound so strange
Would you use this at the start or end of your vocal chain
I guess you could use it in both case scenario. As for me I would use it to clean up dry vocal 1st before processing it through other plugin effects to avoid amplifying other unwanted frequesncies. You can also touch it up after it's processed for a finer outcome.
Is this useful for voice-over work? Or is it just for music vocals
I think it would be great for both!
I'm glad I caught that Black Friday giveaway because it's no longer available for free.
I like anything that's free :), but not sure what this would realistically achieve over a multiband dynamic EQ.
It has MANY MANY more bands compared to any typical dynamic EQ. This makes it more surgical. Hope that helps!
Far better result and not as impactful as a Dyn EQ. As this type of thing will cut out many individual cuts dynamically at different frequency points. It's like a three-band hyper-dynamic eq, Since it's free - give it a try.
I know that a pro version of it is coming up
Feels like using a C4 or C6 multiband compressor, I don't see any much it's doing, honestly I expected more
worth to download if you got soothe?
no
I can't believe I got this for free
How did you get it? this is pure BS trying to get that stupid shit to work is jumping though hoops.. Every other Plug in I ever gotten was very simple.
i think this is pure scam.. there is no free anything.. I even installed waves central but still can't use the stupid free shit.. I think this is a scam where's the free thing? can't find it can't use it on anything...
Waves Butch Vig plug in does the same with more flexibility.
Not sure if that's true... This is definitely a different algorithm from what I understand from waves.
sounds a good plug-in, but it a way to big almost half of 1 GB justo at Installation ... for just one plugging
Thats all I needed to hear. nvm
ill stick with smooth operator
You really think this plug in is a one stop shop for vocal chain
Both plugging.. I ain't hearing what iit does.. and i still hear that low bass tune of a electricity hum in my ears..
This video am currently watching it from my iphone using headphones.
So is it basically a de Esser ? 🔥 on steroids 😂💪🏾
It CAN de-ess but it also does a great job at cleaning up muddy vocals. It's a resonance suppressor which acts very differently than how typical de-essers work. It's more like Soothe and Reso if you've heard of those plugins....
@@RaytownProductionsoh so it’s a combo of that ok that’s cold 🥶
Somebody crack it
I'm not giving them my phone number like they're asking just to download that
Love that shirt pin message🎯
About three weeks ago, I completely uninstalled all my waves plug-ins for one there untrustworthy at this point, but also with UAD slate, and softube I really isn’t a need for waves, and I just noticed I started not using them, and I do have soothe already
It isn’t helpful to demo this with a ‘vocal’ that doesn’t involve real singing or any real pitch choices. No more stale hip hop garbage, please. It isn’t helpful.
Your approach is good otherwise. Thank you for the awareness of the plugin. I’ll check out some other videos with real singing and see if I end up replacing Soothe 2. I doubt it but let’s see!
sthu. stop complaining. its free..
Wait who was rapping tho😂
@@jjwalkerjr5288🎯
Bull shit it's not free after jumping though hoops just to get the free shit still can't figure out how to open it.. had to create an account, install that stupid waves central but still no plug in I think most people are lying saying they got it. it's not that simple to get gotta jump though tons of hoops @@jjwalkerjr5288
The more I try this plugin the more I like Soothe. It's really bad.
Interesting! How does it compare?
No more plugins from Waves after what they did.
What happened
The thing they reverted? Regardless it's a free plugin so yeah..
What did Wave do? Can you please shed some light?
They revert back already. Old news.
@@swimin7357, what is the old news? we do not know that, that's why we are asking
You clearly aren't great at handling Hip-Hop vocals, lol
Andrew Tate is a music producer?
I find choosing to identify a vocal as male or female extremely offensive. What pronoun has Waves adopted? Waving goodbye to binary-defined dinosaurs 😅
you're not @JRent506 🤨🤨🤨
So it's just an EQ with 3 separated band groups and a bunch of other filters that come with FL OOTB?
why would you use a rap SPEAKING vocal to explain this plugin? Why not use someone singing which I thought was\is the idea behind the plugin.
Actually helpful to me cause I'm looking for something for spoken word, and I barely even class hip hop vocals as singing.
when done badly, rap is the worst genre of all.
