Renaissance Vox

“I use R-Vox on a very large percentage of my mixes, usually as part of my vocal buss. It helps me shape presence and dominance in the lead vocal. I love this thing!”

“R-Vox is one of the most important vocal plugins ever made.”

“I use R-Vox on 99% of my vocal chains; it is part of my sound. I love how brings out the clarity and presence of a vocal and still remains transparent.”

“The Renaissance plugins have been my bread and butter since I ran my first sessions in Pro Tools in 2000. Renaissance EQ and Renaissance Vox are engraved in me like muscle memory. They’re great, they don’t take up a load of my CPU, and I can use them quickly and move along with what I’m doing.”

“I use the Renaissance Vox gate on all of my drums for articulation. The gate is forgiving and helps when I’m looking to get the most out of my kicks and snares.”

“There’s something magical about this plugin that puts vocals in your face without squashing them.”

“R Comp & R Vox are my go-to compressors for vocals and just about everything else. ”

“Renaissance Vox is one of my favorites. It has a great user interface and is immediately useable straight ‘out of the box’ without a huge amount of tweaking. Indispensable.”

“I have been using R-Vox for years. Even without adjusting the levels it adds warmth and a gentle thickness to whatever you put it on, be it a snare drum, guitars, synths or vocals. I love that it can be naked and transparent, but if you want you can really hear the compression. I also love that even when you slam it, the audio still sounds open.”

“I can't imagine a vocal without R-Vox on it. What more can I say, it’s three controls and immediately brings your vocal front and center. Don't let the name fool you…try it on drums!”

“I love R-Vox on my vocals, especially when I just want a little touch of compression.”

“I use R-Vox on a lot of mixes. It doesn’t just compress; it’s great for thickening and is super simple. Same goes for the R-Axx, I use that a lot on bass guitars. I link the threshold and output, so I’m not just getting impressed by the volume increase, then I pull the faders down until I find the sweet spot.”

“R-Vox is one of the most reliable compressor plugins available.”

“We use R-Vox in our vocal chains if we want a singer to jump out in the mix. It’s also perfect during tracking because it’s so easy to use. A little touch goes a long way.”

“R-Vox has been an indispensable part of my vocal chain for years. Transparent and fast, I use a small amount to tighten things up before applying any other coloration or EQ. Incredible time saver.”

“R-Vox is always my first choice for quickly controlling vocal dynamics.”

“You’ll find an R-Vox on virtually every vocal track in my session. I adjust the comp attenuation until the vocal sits still in the mix in a comfortable place, then move on.”

“I use this on everything, not just vocals. I love the fact that I can expand or compress and be plenty aggressive or light with it.”

“I love using Renaissance Vox – it has a way of placing vocals perfectly in the mix without the compression being noticeable or harsh.”

“I don't think I have one session without it, one of my top plugins to go to when it comes to vocals. R-Vox really gives me the volume and energy I’m looking for without feeling like I’m hitting a digital ceiling.”

“Renaissance Vox is my favorite plugin to use at the end of my vocal chain. I love the energy it gives my vocals.”

“I’ve been using this compressor for the last 20 years. It’s easy to use and gives you flexibility without becoming intrusive. It quickly provides the results I’m looking for. ”

“For me, R-Vox is not only the best plugin for vocal compression; it is also one of the best plugins ever. It is useful to make well-recorded vocals sounds incredible, but also to help repair a poorly-recorded vocal. This is the miracle plugin.”

“Renaissance Vox is the nearest thing to genuine magic rendered in software. It doesn’t matter how many top-notch, esoteric compressors I have in the rack, R-Vox will do most of the heavy-lifting on my vocal tracks. Works great on drums too.”

“Renaissance Vox is amazing. It really helps to clean up vocals with its built-in gate. I always put it at the end of the insert chain for vocals.”

“My favorite compressor for finishing off the vocal and keeping the noise down.”

“Renaissance Vox is easy to use but incredibly powerful for all vocal types.”

“I always use the R-Vox on my background vocal parts. It gives me a quick and fine ‘2-in-1’ sound treatment: a dedicated vocal compression with a smooth gate. This way, I can have uniform and linear treatment on all my vocals.”

“R-Vox is used in almost all my sessions for the great way that it thickens vocals and its excellent gate.”

“I use Renaissance Vox every day of the week. I love its simplicity…It’s great on any vocal track and super easy to use.”

“There’s nothing like Renaissance Vox. It holds the vocal in the forefront of the mix like nothing else, while still sounding natural.”

“Renaissance Vox is a useful tool for my vocals. I want tools that are simple and easy to use: I want to be fast with adjustments so I can focus on my mix. With Renaissance Vox, I can control my vocals easily and have them on the spot with just a few knobs. And like all Waves Renaissance compressors, it’s very smooth: even with hard compression, you don’t hear the comp.”

“My go-to plugins for vocals are almost ALWAYS the Renaissance bundle because the compressor doesn’t have to be driven too hard, and I can count on the EQ being crispy and bright. ”

“I LOVE this plugin. It’s really simple to use as it only has 3 sliders; gate, comp and gain. I mainly use it to change the overall compression and output volume of my lead vocal channel. If I need a bit more compression/pressure on the vox, I pull the comp slider down, and if I need more or less vocal volume in the track, I use the gain slider to adjust it. It has a slightly ‘honky' sound (in a good way) and brings out the vocal mids, helping to place the vocal in the track. The gate setting is great if I need to lose a bit of headphone/click bleed.”
