RaiderPro
The RaiderPro focuses on dynamic level control, allowing users to set a target level for a track and adjust the final output gain. Its Range Fader feature defines a dynamic ceiling and floor, making it especially useful for vocals and expressive instruments by keeping levels consistent without sounding over-processed. RaiderPro also includes a Side Chain function that helps vocals remain present in a mix by allowing other instruments to influence their dynamics. Adjustable music sensitivity prevents vocals from being masked, while vocal sensitivity reduces background noise and isolates clean vocal signals, which is particularly effective in recordings with bleed, such as drum sessions. Another key feature is automation writing, which enables users to print volume automation directly into the DAW. This allows the plugin to be put on READ mode, reducing CPU usage while preserving the dynamic changes. Compared to the free Basic Rider version, RaiderPro offers increased reliability across DAWs and operating systems, expanded channel configuration support (mono and stereo combinations), and significantly improved performance, allowing multiple instances with minimal CPU impact. The purchase includes both Mac and Windows versions, along with six months of security updates. Future updates are expected to bring UI improvements and more detailed visual feedback.
After the release of the early version 0.0.3 of the Basic Rider, with 15,725 downloads, Basic Rider got over 40 reviews in plugin review websites. Now its successor has come, the Raider Pro. A strictly tested plugin, with increased compatibility with most DAWs and OS. Raider Pro promises everything that came with the free version plus more reliability and performance. A new user interface and improved user experience, smooth sliders & knobs. An ageless tool for daily track level automation work.
RaiderPro is for music producers working in home studios who need consistency in the levels of their recordings and appreciate a constantly evolving plugin. Unlike competitors, our product is affordable. Learn more at casaoccidente.com.
RaiderPro is designed to automate the adjustment of vocal levels in a mix. Instead of relying purely on static compression or manual fader control, it continuously monitors the main signal and applies dynamic gain adjustments to maintain a consistent level.
