01Overview

Vocal Chain is built around a short set of controls for shaping vocal tracks. Its equalizer is designed for the natural qualities of the human voice, and its compression and saturation are each run from a single knob. Blend controls let you mix processed and unprocessed signal, and oversampling is included to help keep vocals clear under heavy processing. The developer presents it as part of the Tuned Vocal Bundle.

Vocal EQ, Compression and Saturation Controls

The plugin's equalizer is designed specifically for vocals, so you can sculpt tone with a focus on the qualities of the human voice rather than general-purpose frequency shaping.

Compression is handled by a one-knob compressor. You dial in the amount of dynamic control without working through a full set of threshold, ratio and attack settings. Saturation follows the same approach, with a single knob that adds harmonic richness and warmth.

Blend knobs on the processing stages let you balance processed and unprocessed signal, so you can keep the natural character of the original take alongside the effect.

Sound Quality and Workflow for Vocal Tracks

Vocal Chain uses oversampling, which is intended to preserve clarity and detail when the processing is pushed hard.

The simplified controls suit quick vocal processing sessions. The developer positions the plugin for both experienced producers and those newer to vocal production.

Because it is available in VST3, AU and AAX, it can be loaded in a range of digital audio workstations on Windows and macOS.
