Craft Your Dream Vocal Production

Create Harmony Your Own Way
As a producer, you might just want an instant harmonizing effect for the hook. As a composer, you may want to noodle with choir ideas as you write an arrangement. As a mix engineer, you might need incredibly rich, lush doubling for the chorus. Whatever your workflow or genre—Waves Harmony has you covered.
Generate Harmonies Instantly with 450+ Creative Presets
Don’t know musical theory? Simply scroll through a versatile bank of quick-harmony chord presets, plus over 450 creative artist and factory presets, and pick what you like—the EASIEST way to generate harmonies if you’re not sure where to go.
Play Vocal Harmonies on Your Keys with MIDI
Performing live? Messing around in the studio? MIDI control lets you play backing vocals in real time. Connect a MIDI keyboard and play notes or chords as you sing to harmonize your voice—once you set the key and scale, everything you play will be in tune.
Draw Vocal Harmonies Visually for Total Control
Want total control over a full vocal arrangement? Click to draw in harmonies on the visual display—arrange, tune, shift formant, delay, filter and pan—then use the snapshots to adjust the arrangement as the song moves.
Powerful Vocal FX Palette
Beyond harmonies, Waves Harmony can work wonders for vocal FX in any production or mix. Efficiently layer thick vocal stacks and create exceptional doubling effects, as well as complex delay arrays, creative voicings, modulated melodies and sequencing.
