What are your favorite Waves plugins?

Vocal Rider, CLA Classic Compressors.

Vocal Rider gives me increased vocal level with good noise rejection. It’s a great tool for getting the vocal to sit well in the mix, It’s also a fantastic tool for pushing the vocal when the singer is singing and then dipping the mic when he or she is away from the mic, thus reducing spill and the ambient sound of the stage. It’s like two plugs in for the price of one. The CLA Classic Compressors sound far superior to anything else on the market.

What do you see as your main goal for the audience?

To reproduce the high quality of the original material, and give the audience CD-quality sound.
