The Eddie Kramer Vocal Channel Black Friday deal from Waves takes 69% off, which brings this vocal processing plugin to $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
It packs the vocal mixing sound of engineer Eddie Kramer, known for his work with Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones, into a single plugin.
The focus is rock vocals. Waves says the plugin gives you direct access to his approach, with no need to build a signal chain from scratch.
You start by choosing one of two chains. Vocals 1 is for intense, aggressive, raw vocals. Vocals 2 is for smoother, steadier ones.
From there you shape the sound with a small set of controls. Waves describes them as Eddie's classic colors, and the plugin covers these areas:
The aim, per the maker, is to help a lead vocal sit comfortably in a rock mix without a long tweaking session.
The plugin is built around one job: getting a lead vocal into a rock mix quickly. Here is what Waves lists:
The sensitivity control matters because every chain after it reacts to input level. Set it with the indicator and the compression and effects get a consistent signal to work on.
The Eddie Kramer Vocal Channel VST comes in several plugin formats, depending on your platform.
On Mac, it supports macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.
On PC, it needs Windows 10 or later, in VST and AAX formats.
If your DAW loads VST, AU or AAX plugins, you can insert it on a vocal track like any other channel-strip style plugin.
Yes. The Black Friday deal takes 69% off this Waves vocal plugin, so it costs $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026. It is a single plugin that gives you two vocal chains designed with engineer Eddie Kramer.
It is one plugin with two vocal chains, Vocals 1 and Vocals 2. You also get controls for punchy dynamics, bass, treble, reverb and delay, plus a sensitivity control with an indicator for gain-staging.
Vocals 1 is meant for intense, aggressive, raw vocals. Vocals 2 is meant for smoother, steadier vocals. Both are starting points for rock mixes, and you tweak bass, treble, dynamics, reverb and delay on top.
It comes as VST, AU and AAX on Mac, and as VST and AAX on Windows. Mac support covers macOS Monterey 12 through Sequoia 15. On PC you need Windows 10 or later.
