![]() ![]() Pro Doubles asserts a new take on double-tracking. This is achieved using H-Delay with Vocal Bender’s formant shifter preceding it. This could be useful if you have a very “digital” sounding vocal recording from a cheap condenser and want to dirty it up a little bit without too much crunch.įinally, “Repeat” is a synced quarter-note delay where the timbre of each repeat is continually modulated as it drifts off, giving you a spacey, intergalactic feeling. Using R-Verb’s early reflections without any reverb, it superimposes the frequency response of the early sounds of the plate onto the vocal and changes its tonal character. ![]() “Mistify” blurs the original vocal sound with an extremely dense early reflection sound. It’s kind of like a unison control on a synth, where each voice has a slightly different pitch setting, and they’re all combined for a rich, deep chorusy sound. “Multiply” creates a gang-vocal sound, using a parallel split of four different Vocal Benders, each tweaked slightly differently. Vocal Bender flattens the pitch of the vocal to C3, the pitch detector is then inserted as a modulator to bring back the original pitch, and the “Smooth” control lengthens the time it takes for each annunciation to return to its original pitch. The “Glide” control has a unique sound where it stretches the pitch of the voice and acts as a portamento on a synthesizer. ![]() This chain is the most creative of the bunch, allowing you to create a completely different personality and character for your vocal sound in the mix. This is an upward compression technique where C6 boosts the high-mid signal only when the source is too soft, making sure that the frequencies which add vocal intelligibility are always present.įinally, “Shine” controls some harmonic excitement in Vitamin and adds compression/boost in the high band of C6, which adds the final sheen and high-end sizzle that pop vocals need to own the song. It also has a “Focus” macro which adds controlled high-mid presence in C6. This is a classic pop vocal technique where you don’t necessarily want the “fullness” of the vocal but rather the silkiness. The “Clean” macro controls multiband compression from C6, which keeps the low-mids and high-mids in check, countering mud and harshness, respectively. It also squeezes the input into R-Vox and lowers the output at the end of the chain, beefing up the final result. “Press” adds some extra up-front compression from CLA-76 as a parallel so that the vocal stays close and present while still retaining its dynamics. Together they create a unique double-tracked vocal sound for that extra width and support that pop vocals need. The “Double” macro controls a parallel split with a Vocal Bender placed before a SuperTap delay. At the very least, it can take raw, untreated vocals and bring them into pop territory. The higher the correction amount, the more extreme, hard-tuned pop sound you’ll achieve. Then, use the “correction” macro to set the intensity of the tuning. It starts with some basic compression and limiting from R-Vox, and then Waves Tune Real-Time, where you can set the key and scale of your song on the macros. This chain is, unsurprisingly, pop-music oriented and is designed to get you chart-sounding vocals with a few knobs. This free preset kit includes 5 StudioRack chains we’ll go through each of them and give you some examples. We’ve created the perfect preset kit for vocal mixing with Vocal Bender and StudioRack, providing just the right balance of mixing essentials for radio-ready sounds and creative color when you need it. Vocal Bender can still work wonders for you. Now we know that with Vocal Bender’s two knobs for pitch and formant, you can get “that vocal sound” very much associated with modern pop, hip hop and electronic music, of the likes of Billie Eilish, Travis Scott, James Blake and many others.īut what if you’re the mix engineer, and you receive a track to work on where all the production decisions have already been made? Maybe they don’t want you to create a vocal chop sequence but just add some beautifying vocal makeup? Or, perhaps you’re working with more organic instrumentation and just want some subtle magic? If you haven’t yet tried Vocal Bender, now would be a great time to get stuck into the unique voice manipulation sounds it offers in real-time.
