iZotope Vocal Doubler

 














Vocal doubling is a vital technique for any producer dealing with vocals. Luckily for us, iZotope, one of the most prolific plugin creators, has released its Vocal Doubler for free.

The technique stems from doing double (or sometimes more) takes of the same vocal in a recording session. By treating each vocal track differently, you can achieve vocal layers that add emotion and pack more of a punch with different panning and effects.

But doing multiple recording is time-consuming. It’s much easier to do it in post-processing – right in your DAW.

That’s where a free plugin like Vocal Doubler comes in.

With an intuitive, clean interface, doubling your vocals to perfection has never been easier. Simply drag the slider up and down for stereo separation or left and right for human variation.

This plugin is a must in any producer’s vocal toolbag.


Auburn Sounds Graillon 2

 

Some love the robotic T-Pain autotune effect, and some like it less (or a lot less.) But there’s an autotune middle ground – making your vocals sound great by making sure the notes are correct om tune. And with Graillon 2, correcting pitch is done in a breeze.

In a few clicks, select exactly which key or chords you want the vocal notes to be. Whether A minor or C major, this forces the vocals to just those notes – with surprisingly realistic results.

The primary setting to strike realism in the transitions is the “smooth” knob. With slower and more mellow pitch correcting changes, there’s little to give the effect away.

With additional features such as adding vocal doubling harmonics, this is a must-have free VST plugin for vocal correction.











TAL-Reverb-4

 

Nothing can brighten up a vocal, like a great-sounding reverb can. And for a reverb that fits that bill, we have the TAL-Reverb-4.

Its design is clear and straightforward. With the three central knobs, you adjust reverb size, diffusion, and amount of delay. You have an additional two for modulation rate and amount, and a low and high cut equalizer to shape your reverb sound. Use the finishing dry and wet knobs to adjust how much reverb is applied.

The reverb characteristics are diffused with a hint of the ‘80s. The echo sound is warm, organic, and analog – making your vocals shimmer deep in everything from small to large room reverbs.

This free reverb plugin works wonders on vocals and is an absolute essential in every producer’s toolbox.

Alex Hilton A1 Trigger Gate

 If you’re wondering how far you can push your vocal track this plugin will do a great job letting you know.

Using a step-style sequencer the A1 Trigger Gate packs in a boat load of cool effects. It’s good for all sorts of stuff. So grab it and start experimenting.



In the last decade it was a very popular producing style in all the dance
music genres to have at least one 'rhythmic gated' sound in almost
every production. Nowadays this powerful production technigue for
achieving more rhythmic dynamics got its revival in house music,
dubstep, trap, hip-hop and even pop tracks.

 

Pattern Sequence

Each section of step length buttons & step volume faders represents
one beat of your pattern sequence. You can choose between
'NoStep', 'ShortStep, 'LongStep' and 'StepLink' by simply pressing
a step length button. Each beat consists of 4 steps (1/16 notes in
'Normal Mode') or 3 steps (1/8T notes in 'Triplet Mode') and each
step has its own step volume fader above to dial in its relative level.

 
Integrated FX

The integrated FX (Lowpass FilterDrive/Distortion and Echo/Delay)
are designed as easy as possible. No vast amounts of parameters to
dial in to get the desired effect on your sound. Simply turn it on and
tweak it a little and you're ready to go !

Of course there is a 'Global FX Off' switch to step through all presets
without any of the integrated FX. Professional producers will
appreciate that little feature.


Get some 'random' inspiration !

If you are looking for the right groove or just an interesting rhythmic
pattern, sometimes it is a good way to let my plugin provide you with
some random patterns. Just press 'random' several times and
use the sequence you like. It's simple as that !

Klanghelm DC1A

 The DC1A is a nifty little character compressor by Klanghelm. It uses sophisticated compression settings and an easy 2 knob setup that has you covered “from smooth levelling to heavy pumping.”

Be sure to check out their absolutely EPIC demo video.




DC1A is the little brother of the compression monster DC8C. I've taken a few of my favorite settings from DC8C and tried to make it work in a two control context. Sound wise it's comparable to the PUNCH mode in DC8C but offers a few additional features, such as negative ratio and stereo unlink. I've always wanted to do a compressor with just an input and output knob, a compressor that just works: gentle, faithful, from almost invisible, smooth leveling to heavy pumping with a nice crunchy saturation and punchy enough to treat drums with.
DC1A looks like a one trick pony. But don't get fooled by the lack of additional controls. You may be surprised on how many different material this little thing works. DC1A has a few tricks up its sleeve: negative (over) compression, parallel (New York style) compression, option to compress left and right channel independently (via the DUAL MONO switch), peak and RMS compression (RELAXED switch on) and DEEP activates a high pass filter to reduce pumping on bass heavy material 

DC1A is free! So try it out for yourself.

Acon Digital Multiply Chorus Vst

 










Vocals need some color. That’s where a chorus plugin comes in.

Acon Digital’s Multiply Chorus will thicken up your sound. It’s a whole bunch of tiny delays (we’re talking milliseconds) that fill out your vocals to liven them up a bit.

Now with Improved EQ and Support for VST3 & Catalina

Acon Digital Multiply is a free and versatile chorus effect with a unique twist. Each simulated voice is processed with a phase randomizing filter so that unpleasant comb filter effects are avoided. The effect can be used to simulate the effect of several performers playing the same tones simultaneously, to widen the spatial image or to create special effects for sound design. Multiply can simulate up to 6 additional voices and both the pitch and the loudness of the voices can be modulated. There is also an integrated equalizer consisting of low cut, low shelf, high shelf and high cut filters that can be applied to the effect signal. An integrated pre-delay section makes it possible to create modulated and diffuse echo effects.



Vladg and Tokyo Dawn Proximity Vst

 



Ever recorded an entire vocal only to realize you had the mic in the wrong spot? No sweat.

The Vladg and Tokyo Dawn Proximity lets you change the mic placement AFTER you record. Pretty useful and pretty cool.


Proximity is a collaborative effort by Tokyo Dawn Labs and Vladg Sound.

The plug-in is an easy to use distance “pan-pot” based on several psycho-acoustic models. The idea is to give mixing engineer a reliable tool which allows him to manipulate the “depth” of several sound source in a straight forward and convincing manner.

Several models can be combined:

  • Distance signal delay by speed of sound
  • Distance gain loss
  • Absorption of high-frequencies in air
  • Stereo width manipulation
  • Proximity effect of virtual microphone
  • Distance based early reflections

All models can be turned on and off to taste. Distance modulation options extend the creative possibilities even further. Units can be switched from metric (meters) to imperial (inches).

Proximity was our candidate for the KVR Developer Challenge 2012 and reached 2nd place in the overall category and 1st place in the mac category! Sincere thanks to all voters and contestants!
