Direct signal controls, EQ Controls

MODULATION DEPTH: –200 to +200 in cents. Default: 0.

Positive values will start by modulating upwards, negative values will start off modulating downwards. The modulation will always occur around the voice’s nominal detune so if you set a detune of 10 and a Mod Depth of 10, the voice will begin by going upward 10 cents and then downward 20 cents, reaching 10 cents below the nominal detune.

MODULATION RATE: 0.1 to 200Hz. Default: 1Hz.

This value sets the voice’s pitch modulation rate. At 1Hz the modulation will complete a full cycle in 1 second.

The Direct signal controls

ON/OFF: Default: On.

Turns the voice on or off.

GAIN: 0 to –48dBfs. Default: –12.

Sets the gain of the voice in relation to the other voices. The master gain can further change the actual output gain of all voices.

PAN: –45 to +45 degrees. Default: V1 22.5, V2 –22.5, V3 45, V4 –45. +45deg is fully right. –45deg is fully left. 0 is in the middle. In Stereo sources the Pan for the direct will actually behave as a Rotation control for the whole stereo image.

EQ Controls

The Doublers EQ section offers a Hi Shelf and Low Shelf filter. These filters will affect the Doubler’s voices, but not the direct signal. The controls for the filter are as follows:

ON/OFF: Default: On.

These turn the filter on and off allowing a quick A/B comparison to an EQ setting in relation to no EQ. Double clicking on the Graph markers will also turn the filter on and off.

GAIN: +12dB to –24dB

The Shelf can boost all that beyond its corner frequency by up to 12dB. It can cut down much lower than that, down to -24dB, at which point the filter floor drops to make a cut filter.

Doubler specifications

Waves Doubler is a highly acclaimed audio processing tool designed for musicians, producers, and sound engineers seeking to enhance their mixes with depth and dimensionality. By utilizing advanced algorithms, Waves Doubler creates rich, immersive sounds that can transform ordinary recordings into captivating audio experiences.

One of the primary features of Waves Doubler is its ability to generate vocal or instrumental doubles. This feature emulates the effect of multiple takes, adding a layer of realism and fullness to the sound. Users can adjust the pitch and timing variations to achieve a natural or more pronounced doubling effect, ideal for creating harmonies or enriching the overall sound palette.

In addition to vocal doubling, Waves Doubler provides sophisticated stereo imaging capabilities. With specialized controls for panning and width, users can position sounds across the stereo field, enhancing the spatial characteristics of their mixes. This feature is essential for creating a wider soundstage, allowing each instrument or vocal track to sit comfortably within the mix.

Waves Doubler also incorporates state-of-the-art pitch modulation and delay technology. The pitch modulation allows users to detune the doubled sounds slightly, creating a chorus effect that can add vibrancy and depth. The built-in delay settings enable precise control over the timing between the original and doubled sounds, which is crucial for achieving the desired effect without losing the cohesion of the mix.

The interface is user-friendly, featuring intuitive controls that allow for quick adjustments without overwhelming the user. This design ensures that both novice and experienced producers can navigate the tool effortlessly, making it easy to craft the perfect sound.

Waves Doubler is compatible with various digital audio workstations (DAWs), providing flexibility for integration into different music production environments. Its lightweight nature means it won’t strain system resources, allowing users to run multiple instances without a hitch.

In summary, Waves Doubler stands out with its robust doubling capabilities, advanced stereo imaging tools, and user-friendly interface. It empowers users to create lush, dynamic audio landscapes with ease, ensuring that every mix achieves a polished and professional sound. Whether for vocals, instruments, or entire mixes, Waves Doubler is an essential tool for anyone serious about sound enhancement.
