A Vocal Plugin for Every Genre

Pop: Bright, Polished, and Radio-Ready

Pop music demands crisp and clear vocals that cut through the mix. Vocal Marinade helps achieve this with:

  • Treble boost for clarity and sheen.
  • Compression to even out dynamics and maintain a consistent vocal presence.
  • Reverb & Delay for spaciousness without overpowering the vocal.
  • Marinade effect for a slight width enhancement, giving vocals a polished stereo presence.

Rock: Grit, Power, and Presence

Rock vocals need to be powerful and punchy to stand out against heavy guitars and drums. Vocal Marinade delivers with:

  • Saturation to add warmth and a slight distortion for an edgy, raw tone.
  • Compression to maintain consistency and impact in loud mixes.
  • Bass control to add thickness for deep, commanding vocals.
  • Marinade effect (used subtly) to create a larger-than-life presence.

R&B & Soul: Smooth, Warm, and Emotional

R&B vocals thrive on warmth and intimacy. Vocal Marinade enhances this with:

  • Saturation for vintage, tape-like warmth.
  • Reverb & Delay for lush, dreamy textures.
  • Compression for a soft, controlled vocal tone.
  • Treble & Bass controls for that silky-smooth balance.

Hip-Hop & Rap: Punch, Clarity, and Impact

In hip-hop, vocals need to be upfront and articulate. Vocal Marinade provides:

  • Compression to maintain strong vocal dynamics.
  • Treble boost for crisp articulation.
  • Delay (with subtle settings) for rhythmic emphasis.
  • Marinade effect (used lightly) for extra width without losing focus.

EDM: Space, Depth, and Energy

Electronic music often features processed and atmospheric vocals. Vocal Marinade makes it easy with:

  • Reverb & Delay for ethereal, spacey textures.
  • Saturation to add presence and excitement.
  • Marinade effect to widen and add movement with its flanger component.
  • Treble boost to ensure vocals shine in dense electronic mixes.

Vocal Marinade isn’t just another vocal plugin—it’s a one-stop solution for vocal enhancement, no matter the genre. Whether you’re aiming for crisp pop vocals, gritty rock textures, silky R&B warmth, or punchy hip-hop clarity, this plugin has the tools to get you there.
