Get The CHEAT CODE To Next-Level Vocal Processing & Productivity You'll Wish You Had Earlier

🎙✨🏆

Available In Three Editions:

Stock   |   Standard   |   Signature

This 3-tier series of vocal chains started off as a solution to provide my collaborators with a replica of my signature chain using only stock plugins. For those with some paid plugins, I've also made a standard edition available which is low latency and uses 80% of the same plugins as the signature edition. Lastly, I couldn't gate-keep and leave my full vocal chain out of the picture, so my signature chain is available for purchase too. Read more about it here

Simply increase or decrease level into the chain until it feels right! Not much else needs to be touched in order to benefit from its default sound. Of course, feel free to eventually tailor the EQ curves going into the chain with the dedicated cut and boost EQs, or use the provided intuitive macros that mirror some of my common moves!

In the Signature edition, loads of more plugin options and presets are available to further take things to the next level! Simply enable or disable the inactive plugins or adjust them as needed.

💡 Other helpful recording/setup tips can be found in the comments section on each track (shown by default), or in the User Guide.
