What Silk Vocal does
The plugin analyzes a vocal across 2000 analysis bands and decides where and how much processing should occur, targeting resonant frequencies, boominess, harshness and sibilance that keep a voice from sitting in the mix. Male voice and female voice modes adjust the processing for the register, and linear phase processing curves are used for the EQ. Midrange tuning can be narrowed for more focused processing, and the included High Pass Filter, Gate, Mix, band solo, band bypass, Delta and Speed controls shape the result. A real-time version, Silk Vocal Live, is included with the license.
Key features
- Automatic resonance detection. Resonances are found across 2000 analysis bands, and the smart vocal engine applies correction only where the detected problem calls for it.
- Male and female voice modes. Separate modes set the processing for lower and higher vocal registers.
- Linear phase curves. The EQ uses linear phase processing curves to keep phase changes out of the vocal path.
- Adjustable midrange tuning. The midrange can be tuned to focus processing on a narrower band.
- Monitoring tools. Band solo, band bypass and Delta let each band and the processed difference be auditioned on their own.
- Input conditioning. A High Pass Filter and a Gate sit ahead of the processing, with a Mix control for blending the result and a Speed control for the response.
Compatibility
Silk Vocal is available as VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, with Windows 10 as the minimum operating system.
