FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Waves Audio introduces a new version of the Sync Vx Plugin, bringing advanced vocal alignment to all major DAWs
— Latest update expands Sync Vx across major DAW workflows, with and without ARA —
Knoxville, TN, April 14, 2026 — Waves Audio, the world’s leading developer of professional audio signal processing technologies and plugins, announces a major update to its Sync Vx vocal alignment plugin, expanding its compatibility beyond DAWs with ARA (Audio Random Access) workflows such as Pro Tools and Logic. For those DAW users, Sync Vx quickly became a go-to tool for aligning the timing and pitch of vocal performances. With this latest release, Sync Vx is now available in VST, AU and AAX formats, along with ARA and AudioSuite support, significantly expanding its reach across all major DAWs, including those without ARA compatibility. The update was highly anticipated by FL Studio and Ableton Live users, who until now had not been able to access Sync Vx in their workflow. Sync Vx is now a broadly accessible vocal production solution that suits the realities of modern workflows.
At its core, Sync Vx is built to streamline one of the most time-consuming aspects of music production: vocal alignment. This advanced plugin enables users to align both the timing and pitch of multiple vocal tracks, creating more cohesive and polished vocal arrangements. Sync Vx offers precise control over vocal alignment, allowing producers and mix engineers to oversee entire vocal stacks within a single, intuitive interface. Users can designate multiple reference tracks, make detailed adjustments to timing and pitch, and explore creative options like transposition and formant shaping – all directly within the plugin.
The updated Sync Vx maintains its streamlined, all-in-one, single-window interface. Key capabilities include aligning up to 16 tracks with multiple reference tracks, adjusting pitch and timing globally or at the track and region level, and quickly decluttering complex vocal stacks.
Beyond music production, Sync Vx also offers powerful applications for post-production, including ADR and dialogue alignment, providing a fast and precise solution for matching re-recorded audio to original performances.
Sync Vx is available now as a perpetual license, as part of the Waves Ultimate subscription, and within the Mercury bundle. Current Sync Vx (V16) users can upgrade to the latest version at no additional cost.
