Vocal Chain Tools and Sound Character

UltraVox 2 covers the main stages of vocal processing. The compressor and gate handle dynamics and noise, the de-esser controls sibilance, and the harmonics and air EQ add color and top-end clarity. The developer says each stage is designed to work with the human voice and keep its natural character.

The reverb is new in this version. It uses an impulse-response based design that blends hall, plate and chamber characteristics. The de-esser was also redeveloped with a frequency-time analyzer, which the developer describes as giving smooth, precise control over sibilance without dulling the vocal tone.

Workflow, Latency and Who It Suits

UltraVox 2 is aimed at both recording and mixing. Its low latency makes it practical for monitoring vocals while tracking, and the same chain can be used later in a mix session. The developer positions it as a set-and-forget starting point that keeps attention on the performance.

It supports sample rates up to 384 kHz (DXD), so it fits high-resolution sessions. The interface has been fully redesigned in version 2 to be more intuitive.
