Identifying the special vocal effects that make them sound so unique isn’t always easy.
It’s probably one of these magic tricks, a less or more subtle blend of special vocal processors that’s helping the vocal stand out.
In this week’s Instagram post, we’re focusing on these special tools (including a free one) that can help you spice up your vocals (and more):
Check them out below and hopefully you will discover some new helpful tools !
LITTLE ALTERBOY
Despite its simple interface, Little Alterboy can do pretty complex processings and works wonders as a pitch shifter, a harmonizer, a robot-style vocal processor as well as a simple auto-tune effect.But most don’t know that it can also be triggered via midi to get some cool synthesized vocals ! We LOVE it !
BITSPEEK
Bitspeek breaks down the audio into basic oscillators, noise, filtering and formant informations, with which you can then play to produce anything from robot voices, pitch-shifting effects, bit reduction tricks, mashed up vocals and more.
RADIATOR
Modeled on a famous hardware gear, Radiator can add warmth, punch and saturation to vocals with class, but can also help in adding character and color to anything from bass to drums with a lovely analog sound.
EFX+
Formerly known as ‘Harmony EFX’, EFX+ mixes the classic HQ Autotune algorythm with effects like vocoder, doubler, filter, saturator, harmonizer and pitch modulators to creatively manipulate vocals.
MANIPULATOR
Manipulator is a voice transformation processor that can alter vocals in subtle ways, right through to a complex warping of the audio. It really shines in the creative stage to create crazy sounds.
VOCAL BENDER
Vocal Bender is a powerful yet simple-to-use plugin that can create anything from robotic vocals, artificial harmonies or vibrato: It’s ideal if you’re looking for modern and creative formant-shifting.
VOCALSYNTH 2
