and it may save you a lot of time in the long run. It has a lot of tools for ensuring your finished files are compliant with all of the audio book and streaming services. Waves plug-ins work well in VP19 and VP20, however, the VST3 versions only work in VP20.Īlso, if you're working in narration, consider upgrading your Sound Forge to the full current version. Waves does have a few very good dedicated de-essers, though, so you can mix and match (and they always have deals!). The Renaissance Channel is also nice, but lacks a built-in de-esser. If you want something that has compression, eq, de-esser, and a bit of additional "color" control, the Sheps Omni Channel is very good. but there are a couple that might work well for narration applications. Most are, of course, geared toward music production. If you want to try something different, the Waves company has several channel strip options for you. It has everything you're looking for, and if you like the results from the basic version, you should be very pleased with the current full plug-in.

VP19 is a little finicky with iZotope plug-ins, but does work okay with the VST2 version, as long as you don't have a lot of stacked audio tracks going on in your project. Since you're familiar with Nectar, I can confirm Nectar 3 Plus works well in VP20 (VST3 version). I've just been spending way too much time trying to get things right with the default Vegas plugins. seems like I could get Nectar 3, or perhaps UnitedPlugins Voxessor. But what's a good alternative? I have no experience in this area. It's the "latest" version, but for v1 that's 2015.Īnyhow, I'm not dealing with that kind of unreliable mess. It's definitely a bug as clicking on the preset doesn't restore them until you first switch to a different base profile, at which point clicking on the preset beings the correct settings back. What's a good vocal processor (compression, de-esser, re-eq, etc.) that works well with Vegas - specifically for narration?įor what seems like forever I've been using the version of Izotope Nectar Elements that shipped with Vegas 13, but I realized today it does NOT work right in v19 - it has the option to save a preset of customized settings based on one of the default profiles, but turns out every time you load the project file or even bring up the FX screen, all those customizations reset to the default base profile.
