I have dowloaded the Nyquist EQ into my host and since I’m a little new to the game I’m having some trouble understanding the controls on this plugin. Can you refer me to any instructions to the controls I am familiar with Para Eq this one just has me stumped…..thanks.

I wouldn’t waste my money on Waves products. I’ve tried all their plugins, and while some may be okay, most are only good for Dr Who alien sound effects. Because Waves plugin bundles cost between $500 to $6000 people assume they must be the dog’s bollocks, I did, but when I managed to try them I was truly appalled at the quality of most of the components, an outright rip-off for the price. I read somewhere on a forum that they also charge about £30 to raise a customer service query! Be warned and only buy their stuff after you’ve given them a thorough trial.

One plugin from the Waves bundles that did catch my attention though is ‘CLA Vocals’, an all in one VST that has adjustments for bass gain & bass colour, treble gain & treble colour, compression & compression colour, a very nice reverb & reverb colour, a delay and delay colour, and pitch modulation and pitch modulation colour. This really did manage to liven dull vocals. (http://www.waves.com/content.aspx?id=10516)

Thanks man! This plugin chain sounds great! But for me it sounds better when I first limit the sound with the TWest Limiter and use the TWest vocal compressor with the vocal1 preset. As delay I used the samplitude 11 silver delay with a minimal touch of a vocal doubler effect. The warmth did the samplitude tube amp. For rap I think the vocals need many dynamic. You can hear the sound on my website. The mentioned song is “Identität”. The vocal effects from TWest are freeware. They sound very great! You find them on http://www.terrywest.nl

by the sounds of it you need a denoiser, all it is is just the general noise created from the equipment. i had this problem on cubase and found that there is a denoiser vst already in it.

in very basic terms it creates almost like a floor where anything underneath will be dropped however many decibels to make it unaudiable.

What kind of reverb settings did you use?
