01 / TWO WAYS TO CARE FOR YOUR VOICE

The constant muddiness.
The sudden harshness.

CONSTANT / EQ FIX TECHNOLOGY

Balance the tone.

A muddy or nasal quality.
Too much weight in the lows.

EQ tailored to your recording corrects the tonal imbalance that stays with your voice.

Explore EQ Fix ↗

MOMENTARY / VOCAL GENTLER TECHNOLOGY

Catch the moments that stick out.

A sharp S.
A sudden burst of low-mid boom.

Reduce them only when they get too strong, then release. Keep the brightness of the rest of the voice.

Explore Vocal Gentler ↗

Different problems. Different processing.
One LEARN pass sets up both.

02 / THE ORDER MATTERS

Smooth the peaks first.
Then set the EQ.

If a sharp S drives the EQ decision, the rest of the vocal can lose its brightness.

Vocal Auto One first tames harshness and boom, then analyzes that smoother voice to set the EQ.

Momentary peaks do not pull the EQ toward excessive cuts.

Two technologies, working in the right order.

  1. 01 / GENTLETame momentary peaks
  2. 02 / EQSet EQ from the smoother voice
  3. 03 / AUTOMatch processed and bypassed levels

03 / LEARN 20s

Once it says LEARNED,
hear it in your song.

01

First in your vocal chain.

Insert Vocal Auto One on your recorded vocal track, before other EQs and compressors.

02

Play your vocal. Press LEARN.

Choose a section with singing, press LEARN 20s, and keep the vocal playing for 20 seconds.

03

Leave it at 100%.

When LEARNED appears, setup is complete. Leave AMOUNT at 100% for a balanced, usable vocal.

Only turn the knob if you want a different amount.
You can leave it exactly as it is.

04 / SAME LEVEL. HEAR THE DIFFERENCE.

Hear the change.
Without the volume trick.

A little louder can sound a little better, even when it is not.

Vocal Auto One automatically compensates for the level difference between processed and bypassed audio.

Stop turning the knob, and the gain stays fixed.
The automatic level compensation does not ride the volume during playback.

Click the microphone photo in the plugin to switch processing on or off. Compare the tone and smoothness at matched levels.

USER GUIDE / SPECIFICATIONS / SUPPORT

The finer details.

Two stages of processing, plus automatic level matching

GENTLE uses two-band dynamic processing to catch high-frequency sibilance and low-mid to midrange boom. During playback, it reduces these frequencies only when they become too strong.

EQ analyzes the voice after GENTLE processing and sets a correction toward a natural, pink-noise-referenced balance. It includes a low cut below 150 Hz. The EQ curve is set by LEARN and remains fixed during playback.

AUTO measures the 20-second learning passage using BS.1770 loudness measurement and matches processed and bypassed levels. Compensation updates when you adjust AMOUNT, then stays fixed when you stop. Bypass removes both processing and compensation. AUTO +4.0 dB in the panel is an example readout.

AMOUNT, OUTPUT and the meter
AMOUNT / 0–100%
Increases both EQ and harshness/boom reduction together. Start at 100%.
AMOUNT / 100–200%
Leaves EQ unchanged and increases only harshness/boom reduction.
OUTPUT / −12 to +12 dB
Adjust the final output level if needed.
GENTLE meter
Shows the amount of reduction at that moment.
Learning again, saving and controls

You can run LEARN again whenever you need to. UNDO and REDO provide 20 steps. Learned settings are saved in your DAW project.

If there is insufficient vocal audio, NOT LEARNED appears and existing settings are preserved. Hover over the message to see why.

Drag a knob to adjust it; hold Shift for fine control. The mouse wheel changes AMOUNT in 1% steps and OUTPUT in 0.1 dB steps. Double-click AMOUNT to return to 100%.

Click the microphone photo or power button to bypass processing. Bypass is linked to the DAW and switches without clicks. The ? button opens the product page.
