One vocal · One chainHear the chain
Hear the chain
plugin by plugin.
This is a real vocal running the exact 13-insert RysUp chain we’d use in a session — same order you’d stack it in your DAW. Power the inserts on one by one and hear the vocal come together, then drop the finished chain on the beat.
- Each insert feeds the next — powering one on wakes everything before it.
- Playback never restarts. Toggle mid-line and A/B it like a session.
- No loudness tricks — every bounce is the same take, same level path.

A fraction of the price.
Named mix and mastering tools can cost more outright, live in bigger subscription catalogs, or depend on vendor account managers. RysUp keeps the finish chain focused: one plugin, one simple license key, and the Suite option when you want the whole catalog.

From the build log
What we actually check before shipping.
Practical notes from the Rys Up workflow so this page gives more than a generic plugin description.
01
Vocal-first workflow
RysUpRider is tested in real vocal chains before release, not just as a generic audio effect.
02
Format status
Every major DAW. macOS Universal. Windows x64. No bridge, no hassle.
03
Release cadence
Updates ship through RysUpHub so fixes and new workflow improvements reach active customers quickly.
Look closer
Every pixel, deliberate.
Hand-built controls. Physics-correct knobs. A UI that looks and feels as good as it sounds.
Shape the ride, not the vocal tone
Target, asymmetric range, Speed, sensitivity, Spill, Idle, Park, detection mode, and music-sidechain controls let the leveler follow the performance without turning into another compressor.

Built different
Small team. Real humans. Shipping daily.
The big plugin brands take years between updates. We ship improvements every day — because we're small, fast, AI-accelerated, and actually listening to the people using our plugins.
We iterate faster than anyone
Leading AI in our dev workflow means we ship new features, new plugins, and bug fixes on a near-daily cadence. Waves took 20 years to update their EQ. We update every week.
You ask, we build
Tell us what you want in the plugin and we'll build it. Suite subscribers get direct access to the dev team — submit feature requests and see them shipped, usually within the week.
Here to disrupt, not extract
No iLok dongles. No paid "upgrade plans." No sales teams taking a cut. We skip the middlemen and price our plugins at what they're actually worth. Pro-grade DSP at indie prices.
Got feedback? Send it our way — we read every message, and we ship what the community asks for.
Built for pro records
Set the target and range, then let RysUpRider make continuous gain moves around the performance. A live ride history, vocal and music sensitivity, spill control, Park behavior, RMS or peak detection, and a dedicated music sidechain keep the leveling readable and musical.
Questions, answered
Everything you need to know.
What does RysUpRider do?
RysUpRider automatically raises and lowers vocal level around a target. It makes smooth gain moves before the rest of your chain, helping quiet words stay present and loud phrases stay controlled without using compression as the only solution.
Is RysUpRider a compressor?
No. A compressor reacts to peaks above a threshold and changes dynamics with ratio, attack, and release. RysUpRider follows overall vocal level and moves gain up or down inside the range you choose. It is often useful before a compressor so that compressor receives a steadier performance.
What is the music sidechain for?
Route the instrumental or music bus into the plugin sidechain and enable Music Sidechain. RysUpRider can then judge the vocal against the surrounding track instead of treating it in isolation.
Can it write the ride as DAW automation?
Not in version 1.0.0. The Ride fader and history are read-only meters that show the gain being applied. The generated ride is processed in real time and is not written into a DAW automation lane.
Will RysUpRider work in my DAW?
Yes. RysUpRider ships as AU, VST3, and AAX for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), plus VST3 and AAX for Windows 64-bit. Install and update it through the free RysUpHub app.
What's the difference between the Suite subscription and buying outright?
Buying outright gets you RysUpRider forever for $49.99. The Rys Up Suite subscription ($9.99/mo on annual, $14.99/mo on monthly) unlocks the complete paid plugin catalog plus future paid plugin releases while your subscription is active.
Do I need an iLok or dongle?
No. Install with RysUpHub and activate with your Rys Up Audio account and license. No iLok account or USB dongle is required.
Do you offer refunds?
RysUpRider is covered by the Rys Up Audio 30-day fix-it guarantee. If you hit a problem, send the details through https://rysupaudio.com/pages/contact-us and we will work with you on a fix or the available refund path.
