Butch Vig Vocals by Waves Audio. Recently, Waves Audio has presented a plug-in called Butch Vig Vocals. It is a piece of software audio processor made in collaboration with mister Butch Vig, one of today’s leading rock producers. Aug 23, 2017  Review: Waves Butch Vig Vocals Plug-In. There is a 3-band EQ with frequency bands chosen for “low”, “presence” and “air”; there are also sweepable low and high-cuts. There is also a unique focus control that creates boosts at 1kHz or 2kHz to really make vocals cut through a mix as well as an optional mid-dip to remove any “mud”.

Hey, what’s up, guys? David Glenn of davidglennrecording.com and theproaudiofiles.com. Coming back with what I’m calling part two of our look into the Waves Butch Vig vocal plug-in, the new signature series from Waves, and I’m really digging it. We’re going to take a look deeper into what’s going on, and I’m going to show you how to pull off some of these same techniques with stock or free plug-ins.

That’s not to take away from the beauty of the Butch Vig plug-in, but I want you to understand the concepts and the techniques going on behind the scenes of the plug-in so that you have another arsenal of tools to go to, whether you buy the plug-in and you use, which I’m doing. I think it’s great. Or it’s not really in the budget right now, and you just want to stick to the tools you’ve got. Maybe you’re doing this as a hobby and you don’t want to invest too much into your plug-ins. By all means, but even more important is the concepts are the concepts, and the strategies and the techniques going into it, so we’re going to break that down.

First things first, we’re going to hit play. I’ve got a Butch Lead track named after Butch Vig himself here, and we’ve got nothing but the Butch Vig plug-in. I’m actually going to leave those alone for now, we’ll talk about them later. But then we’re going to look at the free lead audio track. It’s just a mono audio track, and I’m going to go through some options for you. Then we’ve got a focus track down here that we’ll talk about in the mix.

So, here’s the song as it was thrown together. I did this in the first part. Mixed this vocal at this section, and let’s take a listen to that. Pretty cool, right? So, moving from that plug-in, I’m going to leave it up here on the screen, and we’re going to talk about each of the modules and how you can accomplish that with some free or stock plug-ins.

Actually, I lie. The only one I’m going to use is the Pro-Q 2, and that’s only because I know it for time’s sake and tutorials sake. I know all the keyboard shortcuts, but you can accomplish the same exact moves with your stock EQ, I guarantee it. So, first thing out of the gate, what we looked at was the compression, and the low-cut filter here. So, this filter that was dialed in to about 95 or 100 or so, if you watch the Waves video, they talk about having a little bit of a bump in the filter, and what that means is that on this low-cut/high-pass filter, if we engage that, there’s a little bit of a bump there. So, the Q all the way at the * position would be just flat, and then it drops off. So, what they’ve done is they’ve increased that so there’s a gain increase at the tail end of the filter.
