Maserati VX1 Black Friday pricing puts this Waves vocal processing plugin at $29.99, 69% off, until Nov 26, 2026.
VX1 is a vocal chain in a single plugin. Waves built it with Grammy-winning mixer Tony Maserati, whose credits include Beyoncé, Jason Mraz and Robin Thicke.
The maker describes it as a way to bring his vocal sounds into your own studio.
It combines the effects that go on a lead vocal into one set of controls, so you are not building the chain from scratch. The maker says it can squeeze more emotion out of a subtle performance or help a vocal sit in a large production.
Delay and reverb interact inside the plugin, which creates animated textures rather than two separate effects stacked on top of each other.
The Contour switch sets the overall starting character of the effect. Each one is a different chain, not just a different reverb or delay setting.
The delay changes subtly between the three Contours, and each has its own Bass and Treble control curves.
The Compress control in Contours 1 and 2 accentuates nuances in the performance. In Contour 3, the Air control adds clarity to quicker vocals.
There are 16 presets spread across the Contour applications, so you can start from a preset and dial it in from there.
Tony Maserati's own description of the plugin sums up the Contour logic: Contour 1 gives a studio or small venue room, Contour 2 a larger chamber for ballads, Contour 3 a small room for faster songs.
On Mac, VX1 runs on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.
On PC, it needs Windows 10 or later and comes in VST and AAX formats.
