This is incredible timing, I was just ab to drop 2 bills on soothe2 to tame certain frequencies on my vocals the waves just drops this gem on us 😂🔥🙌🏼 I can’t wait to try it
See.....This is the waves company we all fell in love more than 10 years ago. The waves company that creates TOOLS and not just another eq plugin for the sake of stay relevant. A plugin we all needed, and today is free at same time is more affordable and better than the other one. Isnt an original idea...(we all know the) but you made it better. So for that ... ThankYou.
Just used it on a raucous live performance mix that was 99% there. It gave the vocal that final lift needed to sit perfectly in the mix without being over-bearing. Looking forward to seeing its other capabilities in future mixes.
i'm so happy this came out. getting my mixes sounding right has been the biggest struggle these past 3-4 years. i've watched hundreds, maybe into the thousands of videos on this and it's just so hit or miss whether the tutorials actually translate well into other songs, styles etc. what works for them usually sounds like total shit on mine and leaves me back at square one. when you guys added the studio verse section with all the pre made chains, that helped so much. they actually work for the most part. they all need tweaking for specific things but it's at least doubled the quality of my music. there's just something about my voice that also has these sharp frequencies (probably something I could also work on with a voice coach) but the plugins now available in the subscription and having complete chains in studio rack helped so much. for the very first time in 4 years i can actually hear my mixes transitioning well with the major league shit on spotify etc. all the options etc. have really improved the smoothness and overall dynamics etc. it feels like there is more space, more detail on everything. the frequencies all have that nice warm and fuzzy but present sound going on with them. it feels like you guys gave me a cheat code lately which i can't say thanks enough for. along with logics new mastering option plus the ozone 11 eq by izotope, i'm finally seeing things evolve in the direction i want. for the longest time i just couldn't figure out wtf was going on why my mixes didn't sound nearly as good as dres, ye's, etc. or why jelly roll, post malone, etc. just sound mixed so perfect in comparison. it's all coming together now.
Wow, this is something incredible you created Waves! This is what you really need at work! How could this even be given away for free? There was so much advertising around this soothe 2, no matter how much I tried to use it on different materials, it was constantly thrown into the furnace! and everything had to be solved using standard methods. But this silk really hit the spot! handsome guys, keep it up!
Thanks Waves Audio for the nice free plugin 👋 wondering if a "big brother " of this plugin comes out, something that suited for instruments ,busses and for mastering (soothe2, Reso etc..)
Waves is doing a great job responding to the AI trend others advertise. Waves has major chops in UI that free them from competing like for like. Bottom line for us music makers is how easily we can find what is in our imagination. Waves is quite good at that without taking away full control from creators.
I'm digging what I'm hearing, though I'd probably wanna drive it a bit more in some cases, or follow up with a few other inserts to really hit the sweet spot
This is the first video about this plugin where the vocal sounded more clear with the plugin on. In other videos, the vocal sounded like it was getting weaker when they turned it on. Maybe it's because you're using the compressor, and it's just a little louder? I don't know. I think I want to be careful with this plugin if I use it. When I hit the 'delta' button, I don't want to hear too much being taken out.
I've got all the plugins I could ever want from Waves Audio.... I'm just waiting for Clarity VX Pro to drop price to something affordable. Seriously... I own 100+ of y'all's plugins. Just waiting... It's not like I don't have RX and Acon Digital, but Clarity does work better than both on vocals!
its gonna be in alot of peoples tool box because after today that boy is going to be around $80 so get it while its free ! its only going to get better
This plugin seems like a more sophisticated Manny Marroquin Tripple D? I know Tripple D is quite good already, I would really have to hear them side by side. I also feel that Manny deserves some credit
But what is the algorithm based on? Because without a reference other than just modern day mixes, what is it sourcing its decisions on? Because there’s no side chain involved from the instrumental, or a reference to human hearing and perception.
Hi there, Silk Vocal is a smart EQ & dynamics processor that takes your vocals from raw all the way to balanced and mixed. With its intuitive UI you’ll solve problems without needing several other plugins.
If u have the money to get it, i’d still do it. It’s a little more detailed and not to mention it has that crazy side chain feature. I got both this and soothe2. Keeping both
Has anyone got a free Silk? I haven't got it til now. Waiting since friday 24th. Nothing comes to my e-mail. And I was signed up to get free Silk since 11th or 12th of November 😢
Hi there, please get in touch with our Orders department if you haven't received your copy and have signed up during Black Friday or before: waves.com/contact-orders
I wish u guys would've shown him doing an Honest mix from the start, Because there's other things going on in these sessions beside the Silk Vocal Plugin but this video isn't honest because it doesn't show any of that. Vocals were damn near already there without the Silk Plugin u Guys never use dry Un-mixed vocals in your videos there's always tons of things done to the vocals that we don't see
Hi there, please try a different web browser and if the issue persists, we highly recommend contacting our Sales department directly and they will gladly assist further: www.waves.com/contact-sales
The biggest thing for me is the Live version. Soothe2 has way too much latency to use live. This I could use at FOH and on my broadcast mix in real time which is huge
other alternative is Mclarity (Techivation) $150 ,14 days trial, it´s really good, soothe is really expensive 😅 but this new plugin work also really good
I agree. My first thought after taming a vocal with silk on is always where did the vibe go. However, I can’t deny that I still like the plugin though.
@@TroyJamz I think very sparingly used (maybe not on the entire frequency spectrum) it has it's virtue! In the demo video to me it sounds overdone, especially on the last vocal (the female folk singer), where it takes a lot of the intimacy away and become brittle.
Even for soothe its recommended to turn Down The mix dial - check silk city mix With dua lipa On mix With The masters. Hes at 38 percebt and it still does a lot
How about showing how this works with different music that isn't some guy talking to a music track - How about some actual singing! This isn't music I can get into, let alone study how this plugin works.
How about having the patience to give the whole video a chance, before popping off with your knee-jerk reaction. FYI, your “actual singing” starts at 7:05. Wanting to get angry about things is bad for your heart, curmudgeon…please try to remember to spread a little more love, please…we all need it. Thank you.
First off this aint free it comes with subscription lmao if you dont pay subscription its no longer yours so it aint free false advertising. and the guy in commercial dont use that trash plug in just use f6 and rvox
Many thousands of people who have never paid a penny to Waves got this for free (on Black Friday) by supplying an email address to the marketing department. Unsubscribing is a click away and the plugin still works.

Maaaan i was looking for this exact pluggin ... Looks amazing sounds amazing too ... Well done waves 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Preston, I really appreciate your demeanor. You have a great way of teaching.
Waves Audio has knocked it out of the park with this 1! Excellent plugin! 🔥💯
Great demo. I'm sold.
i tried it on vocals, that stuff does a good job.
Wonder if they release something on monday🤔 as they did the last few years. But this alone sounds fantastic👍
Very cool, can't wait to try this out on my own vocals. Thanks Waves!!

Krazy I just got this plugin free from Waves through a black Friday sale 😅😮😂🎉
I messed up on that but ended up getting it for 20$ after that sale ended, now its worth more so thankfully we got it in time lol
I need that Mari World on iTunes...

Waves EYE apprecilove you this amazing. Its not all about money good move
I am rendering an interview right now. AWESOME, I only used clarity and silk to finish the job
it’s kinda like the api vision eq this is so dope
thank you guys for this amazing plugin!
Prizzie stamped it! I’m on it.
Waves did it again!!!
Literally just bought this and Fabfilter pro 3 ❤
I'm digging what I'm hearing, though I'd probably wanna drive it a bit more in some cases, or follow up with a few other inserts to really hit the sweet spot

Lindo, maravilhoso esse vst
I wonder if this plugin would be of any value for Jazz saxophone. Usually what works for vocals might also work well for saxophone. Any comments?
Izotope nectar and neutron has this for a while and with AI assistant
but silk is free for today.
And are they free?
soothe 2 smokes very nervously on the side, silk is king) I would really pay for this one if they didn’t give it for free)
its gonna be in alot of peoples tool box because after today that boy is going to be around $80 so get it while its free ! its only going to get better

My Bro PRIZZIE!!!!
It is free today!!! Black Friday offer 😵

Man you wave studio preset out do everyone on there. I need you to teach me post your courses and prices
Amazing
I like the echo you used for the acoustic song, what effect is that?
I need this right now or I am giving up mixing 100% 😂🎉🎉🎉
Big Ups
Do we need another eq after/before add Silk Vocal on?
Waves didn’t even try to hide that this is heavily, heavily based off of oeksound’s “soothe” plugin
This looks an excellent plugin, but that snare is torturous.
Let me get it and see what it does to my vocals
Im a metal vocalist i wonder how it works on harsh vocals
Would love to hear your feedback 😉
It does, I just tried it on nu metal vocals and it’s insane
What's the vocal chain?
Holy shit, I got such a nice plugin for free and I can't sing. Thank you Waves 🤷😂
0:50 been using everyday? this just came out hahaha
So this is like an substractive eq without guessing which freuquencys i Need to Lower ?

Thanks for the giveaway!
nice man
3:47 "The performance is obviously there" - proceeds to play a fully auto tuned recording of a singer that I guess needs to be auto tuned.
"vibe and feel of the record" :D
Maybe y'all come out with a "rent to own" method to buying your more expensive products?
😆😂😂"meet them in the middle"... sounds like a shot at somebody LMAO
Where in my Vocal chain should I add this? Or is this something I can use by itself? Please explain.
You can use only Silk Vocal and get great results, try it out for yourself!
now i don’t know if i should still get soothe2 lol
Same here. Please suggest
If u have the money to get it, i’d still do it. It’s a little more detailed and not to mention it has that crazy side chain feature. I got both this and soothe2. Keeping both
Truly unfathomable how Waves decided this should be free. I’d pay $200 for this.
Don't say that too loud😂
Impossible de le télécharger malgré l'installation de waves...
Hi there, our tech support department is open 7 days a week and will be more than glad to assist. Please contact us directly: www.waves.com/contact-us
Can I use it to sidechain?
Most modern DAWs will allow side chain modulation irrespective of the feature being built-in to the plugin itself.
How do you use it every day if it's new and has just been released?
haha
haha thought the same. But obviously he got it way earlier to shoot this commercial, which is a commercial.^^
Man, I would kill for this delay and reverb templates of Anna's song Lol
yes

Reminds me of the soungoodizer plugin on FL studio but with a little more control.

@@AlexShourdsprice lol and some other few things
this one is free
FREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
This is going to have a big bro version in the next few days which will probably not be as bad as the free version
This vocal track needs a swear replacer plug-in not silk plug-in
Please suggest should I get soothe 2 or not ? Is it enough
Stop overthinking lol… you will be fine with either one or both.
other alternative is Mclarity (Techivation) $150 ,14 days trial, it´s really good, soothe is really expensive 😅 but this new plugin work also really good
The GUI is a copy of Baby Audio Plugins
Did that man say omah lay ????
RIP SOOTHE ;D
😆 We shall continue to use on other things I'm sure
Seems like the plugin is removing a lot of the natural vibe! Often I liked the bypassed version more.
I get what you mean. Could maybe run it through a pre amp before or after this plugin to get some harmonic vibe back.
@@darkcharmrecords That would probably defeat the purpose.
I agree. My first thought after taming a vocal with silk on is always where did the vibe go. However, I can’t deny that I still like the plugin though.

Clickbait AF. This is not an in-depth mixing tutorial, haha. This is an advertisement.
Don’t buy this just too much artifacts , it create some out of phase effects on your vocal, at the end u can only use as a de-Esser
turn off drum/beats bro
cant notice any effecet on vocal
La verdad no puedo apreciar nada. Son canciones y musica tan horribles que ... Pueden usar en alguien que realmente cante y no este deletreando ?
