Vocals are usually the first thing that draws listeners to a song and creates an emotional connection between them and the artist. Therefore, getting vocals to sound right is possibly the most crucial task a mixing engineer performs.
A great vocal sound requires several elements, such as presence, weight, and intelligibility, which typically require multiple processors to achieve effectively. Solid State Logic's SSL Vocalstrip 2 dramatically simplifies this task, bringing together the most essential processors into a single, easy-to-use channel strip for your DAW.
With an envelope-based dynamic de-esser and de-ploser, the Vocalstrip 2 easily handles the initial cleanup, eliminating nasty plosives and high-pitched sibilance before routing the vocals into your effects chain. SSL's 3-band EQ in Vocalstrip 2 is transparent and precise, providing a powerful tone shaper with a high-pass filter, an asymmetrical notch, and a treble band for brightness in the higher frequencies. Additionally, the plug-in's powerful compandor smooths out performances and puts vocals at the front of the mix, providing an intimate or impactful listening experience.
