Leapwing has announced the UltraVox vocal processor which they describe as a set-and-forget plugin that is designed for songwriters, producers and engineers, who want to achieve a great vocal sound quickly. Here's the details direct from the company...
Leapwing comes with 4 unique algorithms, each optimized to work for any type of vocal:
Compression is meant to take out the peaks in a vocal performance and balance out the vocal, achieving a consistent level without unwanted artefacts. The gentle and very musical Gate has a dual purpose: one is to reduce room noise and the other is to reduce breaths and mouth sounds that are brought up by compression. Harmonics gives a beautiful coloration to almost any vocal, and Air allows you to add crispiness to your vocal without introducing harshness.
Key Features
The 4 highly tuned algorithms that interact with each other are aimed at getting a quick vocal sound:
- Compression: single band soft-knee compression with variable program dependent (short) attack and (long) release times
- Gate: aimed to remove room noise, also with variable program-dependent (medium-long) attack and (short) release times
- Harmonics: Primarily 2nd and 3rd order harmonics that give a polished character to the vocal
- Air: Equalization focused around 12kHz to give the vocal that shine, without introducing harshness. With its boost and cut capability, it's useful to tonalize the vocal
All algorithms are meticulously tuned with the highest quality achievable and a pristine sound
