1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Vocalstrip plug-in for the SSL Duende platform. Vocalstrip is a one stop solution for superior vocal processing, with all the tools you need to take your vocal sound into the big league.
Vocalstrip features 4 configurable processing blocks to take care of unwanted artefacts, dynamics and equalisation and extensive metering and visual feedback give you invaluable information during your work.
Liberated from any analogue style control legacy, the Vocalstrip graphical user interface will especially appeal to people who like to see what they are hearing. The fully interactive EQ display shows the exact filter shapes and resulting curves of the different EQ bands, and a real-time spectrum analyser allows you to see the effect of your EQ settings on the overall frequency spectrum of the sound source. The Compander response is shown visually and full gain reduction metering shows you exactly how the dynamics are being manipulated. Extensive control options include traditional mouse parameter control, wheel adjustment and exact numerical entry.
The plug-in is available as a mono instance only in VST, AU and RTAS* formats making it compatible with virtually all audio software currently available on both PC and Mac.
As with other Duende plug-ins, Vocalstrip is capable of operating at 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96kHz sampling rates, where a mono instance at 44.1/48kHz occupies 1 Duende processing slot.
Vocalstrip comes equipped with a hotlist of presets based on the settings used by some of the world’s most renowned sound engineers and producers. These pro-level presets provide great starting points for any vocal job that you may encounter.
* RTAS support is provided via the included FXpansion VST-RTAS wrapper – www.fxpansion.com
