If the LED is off during playback, your input signal is too low. Move the Sensitivity Control clockwise until the LED lights up. We recommend adjusting the Sensitivity Control as soon as you open the plug-in, using the section of your song with the highest peaks for best results. In most cases, the Sensitivity LED indicates that your levels hit the processor in a way that will give you the intended output result.
1.5 Components WaveShell technology enables us to split Waves processors into smaller plug-ins, which we call components. Having a choice of components for a particular processor gives you the flexibility to choose the configuration best suited to your material.
Chapter 2 – Quickstart Guide Insert the EKramer VC plug-in on a vocal track. Toggle between vocal types to find the best starting point. Adjust the Sensitivity control to achieve healthy levels. Adjust the Bass and Treble tone controls to taste. Adjust the Compress and Output controls to taste. Adjust the FX controls.
