03In depth

Shape, Boost and Clean for voice processing

VEA groups its processing into three main controls. Shape is tuned to the voice and aims to make it sound more polished without manual equalizer work. Boost adds presence and power, and iZotope describes it as handling compression and limiting decisions for you. Clean is a noise reduction stage that reduces background sound while keeping the voice intact.

The interface is designed to be simple, with no complex control layout to learn. Two color palettes let you tell speakers apart in a session.

Matching a reference voice with Audiolens

Audiolens is part of the Shape control and lets you load a target audio clip from any source. The plugin then shows you how the reference compares to your recording and helps you replicate its sound. This is useful if you want your narration or interview recordings to match the tone of a particular creator or podcast.

VEA works inside a range of hosts, including Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Cubase, Nuendo, Studio One, Reaper, FL Studio, Audition, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
