The developer describes it as a way to explore different vocal tones and production styles while keeping control over each parameter. Its toolset covers corrective work such as de-essing and gating as well as creative processing through saturation, custom compression types and 11 FX modes.

Vocal Character and Processing Tools

Pulsar Vocal Studio covers the main stages of vocal processing in one place. Its EQ includes an intuitive control layout and a Dynamic Focus EQ, while the compression section offers three custom compression types. For color, the plugin provides three saturation modes.

The 11 custom FX modes are built on processing approaches the developer links to vintage widening processors, octave and formant modification, saturation and spectral processing. Together with advanced reverb and delay, these give you a wide range of ways to shape a vocal's space and character.

The de-esser and gate handle cleanup tasks within the same interface, so you can move between corrective and creative settings without switching plugins.

Who Pulsar Vocal Studio Is For

Pulsar Vocal Studio suits producers and mix engineers who want a fast route to a finished vocal sound. The 80+ presets give you a starting point for different vocal styles, and each one can be adjusted with the plugin's full set of controls.

Constant Gain Monitoring lets you compare processed and unprocessed signal at matching levels, which helps when you are judging the effect of a setting. Pulsar Audio says the plugin is engineered to keep a mix consistent across high-end systems, small speakers and mono playback.
