Wave Rider is an RTAS plug-in that detects the audio signal level of the inserted tracks and writes real-time volume automation information on the relevant Pro Tools tracks.

The main advantage of Wave Rider over standard dynamics control plug-ins is that Wave Rider attenuates or increases the levels depending on the incoming level, resulting in a smooth, uncolored signal. After an automation pass, Wave Rider can be taken off the track, and the automation can be altered if so desired.

Features:

• Maintain a user selectable nominal output level on the inserted track.
• Apply automatic "ducking" via volume faders, and not rely on third party compressors.
• "Auto Park" faders during silence, creating automatic mixing capabilities.

New in v1.4

• Major improvements to Wave Rider's algorithm. Now, with new low level detection, and the help of "Silence Level" and "Behaviour" sliders, you can dial in the perfect combination that will give you the most natural volume riding.
• Improved response time. Now, Wave Rider generated automation lags only 40ms rather than 300ms, thanks to the redesign of the MIDI driver.
• This version of Wave Rider supports iLok authorization.
