Note : VOCAL LABS remains under active development. The current build is a free public demo rather than a final commercial release, with engine optimization, balancing and workflow refinements plus new modules and interface pages planned across upcoming versions. If you like this version, reach out to us through our website for full access — we'll send you a serial key for free.

Overview

VOCAL LABS is a modular vocal channel strip built around two independent five-module racks and a shared output stage, rather than one fixed signal chain. Gate, EQ, De-Ess, Comp, Warmth, Bitcrusher, Reverb and Delay are available as separate modules — drag only the ones a given vocal needs into either rack, in whatever order the chain calls for, instead of managing eight separate plugin instances.

Gate is a stereo-linked downward expander with its own sidechain key filters. EQ covers five bands — HP, Low Shelf, two sweepable Bells and High Shelf — sized for channel-strip work rather than corrective surgery. De-Ess drives its detector from a band-passed copy of the input, so reduction stays confined to the sibilant range instead of ducking the whole signal. Comp is a single feed-forward VCA circuit with a split waveform display. Warmth applies symmetric tanh saturation blended by amount, and Bitcrusher — the one module built to make a vocal sound worse on purpose — combines bit-depth crush, sample-and-hold downsampling and a narrowing band-pass for lo-fi character presets.

Reverb runs true stereo convolution from 19 curated impulse responses across Plate, Chamber, Room, Hall, Ambience and Space categories, rather than an algorithmic model. Delay runs tempo-synced or free-running, with tap tempo, ping-pong cross-feed and a damped feedback path that darkens with every repeat. A final Main Output stage — vintage VU meter and trim gain — sits after both racks, ahead of the host's own fader.

Twenty genre-built factory presets configure a complete chain, not just one module, and the whole rack — every module, every setting — saves and recalls as a single user preset. VOCAL LABS also runs as a standalone application, independent of a DAW, for processing a vocal chain live through an audio interface rather than only inside a session.

Key features:

• Two independent five-module racks plus a final Main Output stage.
• Eight modules: Gate, EQ, De-Ess, Comp, Warmth, Bitcrusher, Reverb and Delay.
• True stereo convolution reverb — 19 curated spaces across six categories.
• Tempo-synced delay with tap tempo and ping-pong cross-feed.
• 20 genre-built factory presets, plus whole-chain user preset save/recall.
• Standalone application for DAW-free, live vocal processing.
• Vintage VU metering and final trim gain at the output stage.
