SSL Vocalstrip
All of your vocal essentials in one place
Imagine taking all the best parts from some of the best mixing consoles in the world and splicing them together in one plug-in. That's exactly what Vocalstrip 2 does, with four dedicated modules for vocal processing, allowing you to take your vocal from dry and raw to polished and professional in as minimal steps as possible. The four modules onboard are the Compander, an expander/compressor hybrid, an intelligent de-esser and de-ploser and three-band anti-cramping EQ. With these tools at your disposal, you can balance the dynamics, shape the frequency response and tame harsh sibilance and plosives all in one plug-in!
Although presented in one way in the interface, Vocalstrip 2 has a trick up its sleeve. The running order is entirely customisable, putting you in charge of the signal flow to find what works for your mix. Now you're not limited to putting EQ after compression, you can put it in any order you like! No matter how you order your modules, Vocalstrip 2 offers real-time visual feedback across all modules, including a full EQ graph and FFT meters. Jam-packed with artist-inspired presets and A/B switching to audition two sounds simultaneously, Vocalstrip 2 does all of this in extremely high 64-bit floating point sound quality.
Keep your sibilance and plosives at bay
No matter how careful you are in your vocal engineering, plosives and sibilance are going to be present somewhere in your vocal recordings. Fortunately, SSL Native Vocalstrip 2 has just the solution in the form of an intelligent de-esser and de-ploser modules. These newly designed algorithms sound more transparent than ever before, making it easy to remove unwanted vocal recording artefacts without impacting the tone of your voice.
Using intelligent, dynamic-based processing combined with the lookahead function, the de-esser and de-ploser are extremely accurate in detecting only the artefacts while leaving the rest of your signal unscathed! Perfect for detecting different vocal types, each module features both split and broadband mode selection for even more accurate removal. Just as the other modules, the de-ploser and de-esser feature detailed analysis tools including a gain reduction/histogram display to provide real-time feedback on your processing.
Harrison Vocal Flow
Vocal Character
This innovative EQ tracks the pitch of each note in a vocal track and adjusts the EQ curve accordingly, giving you the power to shape the body and clarity of each individual note. Whether you want to enhance the richness of low notes or bring out the brightness of high notes, the Vocal Character EQ allows you to alter the actual character of the vocals with precision and control.
De-Esser
Using Harrison's renowned De-Esser algorithm, this module effectively attenuates the frequencies that cause sibilance in speech and vocals. Simply adjust the controls to find the perfect balance, and let the De-Esser do the work of taming sibilant sounds, leaving you with a smoother and more polished vocal track.
Leveler
Derived from the famous Harrison Mixbus channel strip, this unique compressor offers precise control over your vocal levels. With adjustable Threshold and Attack settings, you can effortlessly apply compression to even out the peaks and valleys in your vocal track. The module also provides Input level and gain reduction meters, giving you a visual representation of how the Leveler is shaping your sound.
32C Channel EQ with Hi and Lo Pass Filters
Modelled after the revered Harrison 32C channel EQ, the Equalizer element in the Vocal Flow gives you unparalleled control over your vocal sound. With four bands that can be adjusted in terms of frequency and gain, you can shape your vocals to perfection. Additionally, this EQ module features two versatile filters - the High Pass and Low Pass Filters. These filters can be easily toggled on or off using the dedicated Filters IN button, allowing you to further refine the frequency content of your vocals, eliminating any unwanted rumble or excessive high frequencies.
Effects
Based on the renowned Harrison XT-MG Micro Glide plugin, the Chorus effect adds a beautiful and immersive quality to your vocals, making them stand out in any mix. Additionally, the Vocal Flow also includes a dedicated Delay module designed specifically for slapback delay effects on vocals. Add a touch of vintage charm or create rhythmic echoes with ease. If you're looking to alter the spatial characteristics of your vocals, the Reverb module in Vocal Flow offers a range of reverberation options to add ambience and depth to your vocal recordings.
