Quiet Art has announced the release of version 1.1. of Wave Rider, a unique 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.

Main 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.

Pricing & Availability

Wave Rider is currently available for the introductory price of $75 as an RTAS plug-in for Mac OS X.
