Every vocalist is different, every producer is different, so here are the effects you’ll want to consider when mixing the perfect vocal.
The vocal:bundle combines three powerful tools – smart:EQ 4, smart:deess and smart:reverb 2 – to deliver a complete vocal processing solution. Whether you’re mixing spoken word or vocals in a song, this bundle helps you shape tone, reduce harshness and add the right amount of space with ease. Each plug-in features our AI-powered processing, enabling quick, consistent results that sound polished and natural right out of the box. Start to mix vocals the smart way and save 35%.
The centerpiece of smart:EQ 4 is the smart:filter – it automatically balances any signal based on a target Profile for single tracks or busses you choose for your tracks. The smart:filter within each EQ instance comes with a range of features to adjust the AI-powered processing to your liking. Open up the smart:filter widget to tweak the Smoothing parameter for gentler filtering and turn up the Adaptive option to smooth out highly dynamic signals. Also, smart:EQ 4 lets you take control over multi-track unmasking processes easily and get spectral mixing done by simple dragging and dropping up to 10 tracks.
smart:deess analyzes your signal’s actual content – not just the level of one frequency band – before it decides what to do. As soon as you load the plugin on a channel, smart:deess builds a ‘voiceprint’ of the input voice signal and starts balancing any sibilants and plosives that are present. Your job then is to review the analysis and refine the results. smart:deess allows you to spend time on getting the sound you want, rather than correcting the sound you don’t want.
With smart:reverb 2, each space is tailored to your material — clean, dynamic, and tonally matched. The AI-powered processing works with the spectral characteristics of the input audio to deliver a space that doesn’t sound harsh or overcooked, and resonates in all the right places. Explore and shape your reverb effects with a powerful but simple visual reverb matrix. Whether you’re after natural realism or creative flair, smart:reverb 2 puts flexible reverb character at your fingertips. This intelligent reverb plug-in is also designed for use on multiple tracks within a project: With different smart:reverb instances in the same group, the cross-channel processing will manage overlapping frequencies for a spatially coherent and uncluttered mix.
