Silk Vocal is Waves' intelligent vocal processor, built to take vocals "from raw to pro" quickly. With 2000 analysis bands, it targets problematic resonances and balances vocal tracks automatically: you tell the plugin where to focus, and the smart engine handles the correction. This addresses the most time-consuming part of vocal mixing — hunting resonances across the frequency range track by track.

Beyond resonance control, it includes sibilance and high-frequency processing with a toggle between the two so you can hear which gives the smoother, more balanced top end, supported by solo and delta listening to reveal exactly what is being reduced. A dynamics section provides what Waves describes as the most musical single-dial compression possible. A Silk Vocal Live version allows real-time monitoring while recording, and is SoundGrid compatible for live engineers. Requirements are macOS Monterey 12 through Sequoia 15 or current Windows versions, 8 GB RAM minimum with 16 GB recommended, and 16 GB free disk space.
