@elneno427 9 месяцев назад

"I use the XVoX VST and then the Lifeline Expanse VST, and I play with the vocal presets. My goodness, they sound as if I were producing in the most expensive studio in the world. The quality, effects, and signal chain that these two plugins generate, with their built-in racks, make the vocals sound super professional. I highly recommend combining them; it will elevate your power from an SSJ to an SSJ4." ✌✌😃😃

Your explanation's top-tier and I like the natural sound of this plugin. It seems like the tone controls are little small for really fine increments, but it's probably just fine.

@vewilli 9 месяцев назад

Very cool. I've got this plugin Xbox since its release. And it's undoubtedly my favorite one!

@eightiesfox952 11 месяцев назад

@andredubois5622 Год назад

This is dope! Can you do one with a low male R&B/Soul vocal? Like a Tyrese type singer?

@iamtonisilvers 10 месяцев назад

i like how you explained it , you started with the word "Approach" b4 getting how to the mixing which is really helpful in that way you let the people decide how they will prrocess it and their end goal.. most of all the plugin is a swiss army knife it gives you all the things you need to mix a vocal make it ready at least althoit is not the best in the industry at least it is in the plugin itself like RC20 .

This is my favourite plugin and these videos are awesome, but a day or two in the studio with this expert (using Logic) would be great …

This plugin sounds amazing, but *PLEASE ADD AUTO GAIN!* Also a noise gate function is definitely needed.

@ashleymoses9359 9 месяцев назад

How would you mix the lead vocal doubled two more times with this plugin?

@nuroaudio 9 месяцев назад

It depends on the style of double you're going for! If you want it to still sound like a single vocal (but bigger / thicker with the doubles), then try keeping your lead up front in the mix. On the doubles, use less High / Air+ than on the lead. Then, tuck the doubles behind the lead by keeping the softer than the lead in the mix. If you want it to feel more like an obvious doubled effect, try processing them all the same (however you like), keep them all around the same level, but use panning to spread them out and create a stereo field.

I have the trial version. Can I reduce the size of the plug in face?

@nuroaudio 6 месяцев назад

Yes! Click on the plugin logo in the top left, then choose your GUI size along the top of that screen!

Can you use Pro version with Studio One 3?

How do I create a chain so that the CPU doesn't go crazy

@nuroaudio 5 месяцев назад

We can help you optimize your DAW / audio device settings if you'd like, and when using Xvox, you should run up to 50% lighter than with comparable chains. Send us an email to support@nuroaudio.com and we'll be happy to help!

@romance27 5 месяцев назад

@@nuroaudio That would be very kind. Id like to maximize the plugin and create some magic that will do the music and the all justice as they work together as a unit.
