01Overview

Manny Marroquin Triple D is an effects plugin from Waves, filed under vocal processing. It was created with mix engineer Manny Marroquin, and it targets the problems that often show up in vocal recordings. Instead of cutting set frequencies all the time, it reacts when a problem sound crosses a threshold, so passages without the issue are left alone. Three independent controls handle the common trouble areas, and each stage can be auditioned or bypassed on its own.

How Triple D Handles Boxy, Harsh and Sibilant Vocals

Triple D is built on dynamic EQ, but its controls are designed for quick use rather than detailed curve editing. Each of the three independent sections targets a specific kind of problem: boxy, harsh, or sibilant sound.

A threshold setting determines when attenuation is triggered, so the plugin only reduces a frequency when it exceeds the level you choose. Frequency trims let you pick the problematic frequency for each stage, and an attenuation meter shows how much reduction is happening at that point.

Workflow, Listen Buttons and Bypass Controls

The listen buttons isolate each of the three processes, which makes it easier to hear exactly what a stage is removing before you adjust it. Bypass buttons let you compare each section's effect against the unprocessed signal.

The developer positions Triple D for vocals, podcasts and voiceover work, where it is meant to fix issues while keeping the voice's natural character.
