db audioware Releases Vocal Intensifier
db audioware has released Vocal Intensifier, a new plug-in for Mac and Windows that contains an advanced algorithm designed to make vocals sit more prominently in the mix, without destroying the detail in the original performance.
Vocal Intensifier gives vocal tracks added punch and presence, to make them stand out in the final mix. It uses an advanced studio technique called parallel compression (also known as “New York compression”), often used for drum tracks but here specially tuned for vocals. The advantage of this technique is that it boosts the loudness and presence of the vocals without destroying the dynamics of the original performance. db achieves this effect by condensing a top quality vocal effect chain containing gating, EQ, compression, de-essing & limiting, (all tweaked for vocals) into a single, easy to use interface with only four controls.
db audioware Studio Specialist plug-ins capture complex audio engineering techniques in simple, efficient user interfaces. They are designed to save time and effort for the busy studio engineer. “Experienced sound engineers often use quite advanced techniques to solve challenging problems” says Dave Brown, Director of db audioware. “These new plug-ins make it easy to apply those techniques, and can be used regardless of experience.”
