Plugin Boutique is offering a massive 90% discount on Voca, the all-in-one vocal processing plugin from Sonnox, until July 31st. Originally priced at over $150, you can now grab it for just $14.50 in a fantastic deal for anyone working with vocals.
Sonnox is well-known for high-end studio tools like Oxford EQ and Inflator, and Voca follows suit with its polished, professional sound. But unlike those classic plugins, Voca also offers a super fast and intuitive workflow, exactly how I like it.
Voca is a four-stage vocal processor that includes automatic gain leveling, dual compression, saturation, and a smart de-harshing module. But what makes it special is how all of this fits into a single, clean interface.
If you’re tired of stacking multiple plugins or tweaking endless parameters just to get vocals to sit right, Voca offers a refreshing alternative. The Auto-Input Level function evens out vocal levels before they hit the processing chain, saving you from tedious clip-gain automation.
From there, you get two serial compressors modeled after 1176 and LA-2A styles, with XY-style controls that let you dial in punch or smoothness by ear rather than numbers.
The saturation stage adds warmth or presence depending on where you steer the controls, and the Soften section intelligently reduces harshness without acting like a traditional de-esser.
It’s all designed to be fast, musical, and transparent. I think of Voca as a virtual assistant that does a lot of heavy lifting for my vocals while I spend more time on the drums and bass.
What I particularly like is how Voca encourages you to mix with your ears rather than your eyes. There are no presets. Everything is driven by context and feel.
On rough home recordings, Voca does wonders to clean up erratic levels and boxy mics. On well-recorded vocals, you can bypass the Auto Level and just use the compression and character tools.
It’s not designed for flashy effects or over-processing. I love that Voca is all about getting the vocals that sound right and getting them fast.
As a bonus, you’ll also get a free copy of Motion: Dimension Lite when purchasing Voca through Plugin Boutique until July 31st. At under $15, it’s an easy recommendation for producers and mixers of all levels.
Voca is compatible with macOS 10.12 or later and Windows 10 or later, and it runs as an AU, VST3, or AAX plugin. iLok activation is required, with support for machine-based auth, iLok dongle, or iLok Cloud (the dongle itself is not required).
Get the deal: Sonnox Voca (only $ 14.50 until July 31st)
