Some call it best plugin of 2025, saw it today for the first time.
Surprised I could not find a thread here.
It levels the gain of vocals and uses AI, so it is probably something similar to Waves vocal rider.
Uses almost no cpu and cause no latency.
Price is (too) high imo.
Well, first of all as far as I am concerned I stay away from AI, I am able to make my own decisions and like doing level corrections of vocals manually.
Vocal rider is an example that I am not always happy with a plugin's decisions.

Anyone using it?

What is the best plugin released in 2025 for you?
(I think I didn't buy any newly released plugin)
Oh, I bought TVS Pro for a very low price, it is pretty nice and I will use it sometimes, but I am not in love with it, it is a niche product anyway.

Great tool, but not released in 2025.

Also. No one has referred to it as the best plugin of 2025. Not even yourself in your own post (as you’ve never even used it).

I didn't dream it, I read it twice and also found a video. I am not going to even try it, was just wondering why there is no thread here presenting the best plugin.

I just bought it on the holiday sale but haven't yet had a chance to use it. Didn't want to need it and have to pay full price.

From the demo and review vids, it works exactly how I'd want it and everyone that uses it confirms it's a huge time saver. So I feel like it was a safe buy.

I have been using the lite version with Pro Tools as it is included with the software.

I think the term "AI" is being misused here. It just seems to scan your audio and adjust levels accordingly.

I bought this some time back. It’s always the second thing I throw on vocals after Melodyne. It’s brilliant at what it does. Gives you an amazing starting point for leveling, which you can easily tweak after to your own liking. The workflow is really intuitive as is the GUI. It can also help with Breath and Sibilance, should you wish for it to do so. I hope to see these further improved.

i'm going to post a youtube video today, proclaiming my music 'the best music of 2026'; once people see that, it becomes real, and there should then be a thread here celebrating my work. counting on forum ppl to get that together

The best plugin of 2025 was the one that made you the most return on investment. So for me there were no best plugins of 2025

I don't think, it will work.
Music is a mass product today, every day 100.000 uploads only on Spotify every day. So unless yiu don't have connnections or real goog social media skills, no one will care.
There are not 100.000 new plugin releases every day, are there?!

Hello! this is my first time in the KVRAudio forum which has been very helpful to share my plugins. Now I want to share that I have made a plugin called RaiderPro that is for audio riding & automation to solve the same pain as the Dynassist, I think bedroom producers can find it accessible since it is on early price of $28 USD until April 1st.

The idea is pretty similar in concept, but focused on keeping things simple:
– Real-time riding without needing complex routing
- Low cpu and latency
- Better than waves vocal rider
- Has an attack modulation knob, it allows to have more control over the speed at which the dynamics are changed

There's a 7-day free trial available: https://casaoccidente.com/es-mx/product ... free-trial
as well as a perpetual license: https://casaoccidente.com/es-mx/product ... pro-plugin

Plus advantages:
✔ Free updates for 6 months.
