In Butch Vig’s very informational intro to the PDF user guide (available right from the plug-in GUI, like on all Waves plug-ins, yay!) he explains that Lows is set at 300 Hz, Presence at 3 kHz and Air at 15 kHz, and that the EQs are based units by Pultec, Neve, Trident A Range, Sontec, Avalon. The knobs let you boost or cut, depending which way you turn them. Between them are three preset EQ knobs: Lows, Presence, and Air. Next to the Input and Output controls are the LoCut and HiCut filter knobs. According to the manual, when the light is off the level is too low, when it’s green the level is good, when Yellow it's optimal, and when Red, “Very Hot.” I didn’t notice any digital distortion when the input was lighting red, but it certainly intensified the saturation effects (which I’ll describe shortly). The Input knob goes clockwise to increase, while the Output goes counterclockwise to do so, which is one of those inconsistencies I was referring to.Ī light labeled Sensitivity helps you set the input gain correctly to get the most from the plug-in. On the extreme left and right are the Input and Output controls. A four-way switch on the upper left-hand side of the meters lets you easily switch between Input, Gain Reduction, DeEsser and Output. What’s more, the way some of the knobs turn is not consistent in some cases, which can be counter-intuitive until your familiar with how it works.Īt the top of the plug-in are level meters.
I would have preferred something more straightforward. Although it’s a cool and unusual design, the controls are a bit buried in the graphics. Looking at the interface for Butch Vig Vocals, you wouldn’t be alone if you thought of controls from the submarine in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. It’s actually very easy to use. Butch Vig Vocals features the standard Waves toolbar, which, among other things, lets you switch between A and B variations of your settings, which can be quite useful. In any case, WLC lets you authorize the plug-in either to your computer or to a USB flash drive or iLok. Why is that annoying? Because it doesn't have the words "Waves" "License" or "Center" in its name, so when you search your computer for it the next time you need it, it won't show up in your search results.

Authorization comes from the Waves License Center application, which annoyingly installs under the name WLC.

Master the built-in functionality first, and once you've mastered them, buy those plug-ins that have expanded capabilities.As with any current Waves plug-in, installation is done through either the online or offline version of the Waves installer (Mac or PC), which can install any individual or bundle in the Waves catalog. Now you take that $2k and put it to good use on whatever new guitar or gear that you are ready for next that you can actually understand and use to its fullest potential. When you can easily hear the difference, it's time. But you learned and mastered the things you wanted to, and so now is the time to upgrade. You didn't go out and spend $2k when you were just learning to play guitar. Now you have determined the level of guitar that fits you, and know what to buy.
