Vocal chain · 26 Waves chains

Ultimate Vocal Chain™

Q: Will it work in FL Studio, Ableton or Logic?

Yes, in any DAW that runs Waves plugins (VST3, AU or AAX). The same chain file loads everywhere because StudioVerse is the host, not your DAW's stock plugins.

Q: Are these stock-plugin presets for my DAW?

No. If you don't use Waves, this pack isn't for you yet.

Q: Will I sound exactly like the demos?

Presets are a strong starting point, not a guarantee. Your mic, room, performance and recording level matter most. Set the tuner to your song's key and adjust reverb and delay to taste.

Q: What is the bonus session template?

A studio vocal session from a professional recording engineer, set up as a starting point to record and mix your vocals. It comes in the same download as the chains, at no extra cost.

Q: How do I get my files?

Right after payment is confirmed you get a download button on the confirmation page and a link by email, valid for 30 days.
