Waves Launches Vitamin Sonic Enhancer Plugin
Go ahead – it’s GOOD for you.
Waves has just launched the Vitamin Sonic Enhancer (or Vitamin for short). A “multiband harmonic enhancer and tone-shaping plugin”, Vitamin does the hard work of parallel processing so that you don’t have to – it creates a fast path to powerful sounding tracks, by mixing an enriched version with the original signal.
Vitamin-OH!
Vitamin is available now for an intro price of $99 for Native, $149 for SoundGrid. Those will increase to $200 and $300 respectively after that graceful period of sparkly newness.
Here are more details on this tasty addition to your DAW, as described by Waves:
With its zero-latency processing, Vitamin caters to studio and live mix engineers alike. Used as an insert on any track or buss, Vitamin instantly delivers a warm, vital result that is comparable to what you would get from a parallel chain of EQ, compression and saturation processors, but without the hassle.
Vitamin’s controls are intuitive, easy to use and immediately responsive, letting you smooth or accentuate punchiness and dynamics, determine the crossover frequency points between the plugin’s five bands, and control the mix of the direct signal with its enhanced version. To top it all off, when Vitamin is in stereo mode, each band has a width control that lets you create wider sound images or make room for a vocal right in front of the mix – a great tool for mastering.
Whether used on vocals, guitars, synths, drums or an entire mix, Vitamin opens up the sound in a way that truly complements and enhances the original signal, ensuring your tracks get the nutrients they need.
