VX-64 Vocal Strip is a seven-stage processor designed specifically for shaping and sculpting incredible sounding vocal tracks. Each of the VX-64 stages have been fine-tuned to be vocal-specific, taking the work out of dialing in an entire chain of vocal processors. The VX-64 features a new Cakewalk technology that employs phase-coherent, multi-band saturation to avoid unwanted distortion; unique filtering to avoid harsh artifacts at extreme high and low frequencies; and an auto-leveling circuit that prevents the tube saturation from sounding too harsh when high gain transients are processed by it. VX-64 also employs a new de-essing algorithm designed with Cakewalks LP64 linear phase effect filtering technology to remove sibilance without creating any frequency smearing.
Processing stages include:
Input — simulates a tube pre amp De-esser — removes sibilance without smearing Compander — vocal compressor with an expander to reduce unwanted background noise Tube EQ — for adding character ranging from subtle warmth to intense heat to the vocal Doubler — advanced doubling effect providing the quality of actual re-tracking Delay — preset delays useful for vocal tracks with tempo sync Output — provide saturation control with a built in soft-clipping filter Order of processor stages is user definable with click & drag reordering Channel Tools — provides easy and powerful control over individual placement of the left and right channels anywhere in the stereo field. Ideal for adjusting L/R channel placement, gain, pan/width, and phase; also provides a widening or narrowing effect to stereo recordings through adjustments to mid-side gain. Boost 11 Peak Limiter — gives your tracks radio-ready punch through transparent peak limiting and volume maximization without additional coloring of the source material. Boost 11 employs a "look-ahead" limiter and PDR (Program Dependent Release) to provide professional results with a simple interface.
