The ONLY Vocal Plugin you could ever need is now in Cubase. VocalChain Ultimate tutorial! 

Did anyone notice Dom's shirt changed colors a few times?😃

Absolutely a game changer for a musician who is not interested in becoming an engineer - way more time to spend producing more music. Thank you so much for this tutorial on what looks to be something that I'll turn to often.

This plugin is everything I needed. I always forget how I do my vocal chain and now I can just have it in one place as a custom preset

Amazing!! I really wan't to know what's the Cubase 13 plugin that changes your Tshirt color as well ! :D

This plugin alone is worth the upgrade!

Ντομ είσαι τρομερός σε ευχαριστώ για όλα όσα έχω μάθει από τότε που βλέπω τα βίντεο σου είσαι ο καλύτερος. Το σκέφτομαι καιρό αλλά μετά κι από αυτό το βίντεο μετακομίζω στο Cubase asap.

Excellent tutorial as always, Dom! 🍀 To all those who still think that Cubase plugins still can't keep up with dedicated third-party plugins: Think carefully about who and why you are making your music. For people in your/"our" circles and/or like-minded people "I listen to everything, even whether it's a dynamic EQ from provider X or a compressor from provider Y..." or you make music for the "normal" music consumer out there ". It is undisputed and self-evident that one strives for the best possible quality, also in order to be personally satisfied with one's work. But that the music consumer "out there" can distinguish from his MP-3 file (which he listens to somewhere on his earbuds in most everyday situations) whether a dynamic filter from provider X or a saturator from provider Y is used when mixing and/or mastering or alternatively a current Cubase plugin was used, I would really like to leave that open...

I was on the edge...but now i will upgrade from 12 Pro to 13 Pro . It is only 100€ for upgrade so it is worth. Thanks 👍

Thank you so much. I want to use this for church vocals and my own music. Bless you for your talent and heart of a teacher.

Hey Dom! Thanks! I did try it yesterday on a mix and I got stuck at the DYN filters. I think that there should be an option to solo the frequencies so you can follow your ear when choosing the frequency that you want to control. Also the first EQ: the best thing is to basically have the "Frequency" plugin instead of the "studio" one. If you went this far, no reason why not to include it, If you want to control the curves of the eq you cant, if you want additional dynamic control for example. Its a great idea that I would like to revisit in the future.

I always recommend Cubase because of Dom! Love you man… 🤙🏻

Thank you Dom, that's the video i was waiting, great job!

Amazing as usual Dom. When you demo vocal chains you always use female pop vocals. I would dearly love you to do a session where you compared your approach to those with something like a male rock/distortion voice. What choices you might make differently? I definitely think I'm going to move to this single tool as my vocal chain.

Great Video! Thank you! I can't understand a thing she's singing, but I'm in love with her voice!

Nice trick with the color change of your shirt!

If users really compared their third-party effects with the Cubase onstock ones, they would find out that they hardly need third-party effects hardly or not at all. Nobody will hear the minimal differences in a final song production.... Cubase offers very high quality professional effects, higly recommend.

Magic t-shirt!!!

Thank you! All that I wanted.. thanks Dom, you are the cause of this ❤

Excellent and truly helpful. You have a true talent for explaining things so clearly. Thank you, Dom!!!

You are the best Don, thank you very much to go in detail around this one! So helpful and so well explained! Thanks a lot!

It sounds pretty good, and could be useful for people that spend all their creativity on producing the instruments and then want a quick solution to sort out the vocals. Kiiiinda not worth the upgrade to me though as I have got every bit of it in my DAW already, and don't reaaaally struggle that much with CPU usage. I think I might actually skip this upgrade. C12 was just pretty much all I ever needed at the time, and still is. But, for the sake of Steinberg staying competitive they nailed it

Very usefull as usual ! I'll try all this in a second. I like also your speaking style, I'm french and I understand everything you say "parfaitement". I know that most people are interest today in Pop/Dance, etc. but I'll appreciate that you do sometimes demo on rock voice/song. Merci beaucoup.

It's realy helpful sir thank you for this tutorial.

Thanks Dom, you are a legend. I think this plugin is awesome. I love the black valve compressor, a shame there isn't an attack and release knob. And yes, I remember your video on manually reducing sibilance in the audio track. It's a pain but makes life so much easier down the track (apologise about the pun). You're knowledge on the little things that make a big difference is inspiring. Thanks again.

The changing of the colors in the shirt is done the old school way of sending the signal to an FX bus and automating. Lol

One of the best ever tutorials, Ty

Fantastic videos! Great instructor!!!

I was messing with it last night insane dom thx mate

Bravo Dom! Can't wait to mess around with the pre-sets.

Cubase gets better and better.

Excelente revisión Dom, definitivamente Cubase es el mejor DAW de la industria por mucho!!!

Hello Dom, Thank you very much for the excellent video. The VocalChain VST alone is worth switching to Cubase 13. I also used the VocalChain on solo instruments (e.g. trumpet flute) and used it to improve the timbres and create more brilliant sounds. Unfortunately, after installing it twice, I still don't have any presets in the vocal chain. I have now reported this to support and asked for support. Thank you very much and please keep it up. Many greetings, Herbert 🙂👍

I like the Color Change for the T-Shirt

Very helpful tutorial, this will change the way I approach vocals as a beginner. Thanks alot Dom, keep up the good work, bravo!

Cool plugin. Tried it, but I like my sooth2, decapitator, echoboy, like to play with drive knob on the black valve compressor. Probably can use it for the exiter/saturator part

You are just brilliant, thank you.

Cool t-shirt, keeps changing color!

Hi Dom, the only thing I noticed is the latency/CPU consuming on this plugin is huge.

Much love Dom take care

Thank you Master...have a good trip with 13rd version...!!!!!!

Thanks for making this video! This tool alone is worth the price of the Cubase upgrade and will be a very useful! 🙂👍

The Video tutorial I needed thanks Dom !

Great video, very helpful, many thanks! Two questions: 1. Where in the chain would you add a doubler such as Reel ADT (you do this in another video through a send channel)? 2. If you use the dynamic EQ to take care of boxiness and harshness, would you still need something like Soothe, and if yes would you put it in the end of a chain or also in parallel through send?

This is worth the upgrade alone 👍

Nice!

Greaaaat Dom!!!

Hyped for Nuendo 13, should be dropping soon I think. nice video as always. ❤

Thanks!

Nuendo 13 Preview Event in 4 days.. Can't wait!

amazing way to do things fast

Thank You Dom! 👌🏽

The changing color of your t-shirt is just disturbing me 🤣Great video !

Super great demonstration! Love the sounds and the design of this plug-in. Really user friendly, and so many options! I would ask: Can you not turn off the LP filter on the first section? Are you able to solo the frequency bands in the dynamic frequency section to hone in better on problem areas? That, and I’ll always want a 18dB/oct filter, but that’s probably just me 😂

Super my sir...❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks!

Hey Dom .. what's really amazing is how your tshirt changes colour as you speak! I'm assuming this is unfornately not a new feature of the new Cubase 13! Maybe in the next version :o)

Excellent Dom ! (as usual) I was going to stay on Cubase 12 Professional, but now it seems I need to upgrade, not a bad thing :)

As always great stuff BUT you were working a Spanish vocal (I think). Yay!

Olé. Good enough to upgrade to 13. Overall for non pro producers, to have all we need for mixing vocals inside Vocal Chain

Thank you for this ❤

LOVE this all-in-one. But! Has anyone noticed the triple-figure delay it causes? So much for tracking through it😢. Great vid Dom! Thanks!

Love the shirt changing colors on the video..kkkkkkkkkkkk

Dom. you should say to Steinberg to sell this Plugin in all formats! I will buy it asap!

This is dope.

This plugin is amazing! BUUUT Has anyone noticed that the "cut filter" section stops responding after a while? The only thing I can do to get it back is remove the plugin and re-add it.

This thing is goddamn amazing.

I did wish it would have an option for reverb, where its more wide, and stereofull😢 but overall I already used it and i absolutely love it!!!!

super.

Very good !

Magnífico tutorial. Es buen plug-in.

Thank you for the review and your positive energy ! I personally am not impressed with this update though, I’d rather keep using my Fab Filter and izotope plugins

excellent

This tool is great. But it would be a game change if we could insert our hardware units into the chain. Don't you think so? Thank you for this very clear demo. Bravo

Awesome

you are very very very good 🙏🙏🙏

Everything is pretty much dynamic EQ's instead of regular EQ's these days. I mean EQ for shelving the top and bottom and a few other things, but dynamic is the way to go, and keep the vocals more alive!

It’s a good walkthrough, obviously the settings should mainly be done within the mix rather than solo.

brao brao dom .

Fantastic! Your song in the last part of the tutorial sounds great please where and how can I get it?

Narcos theme Tuyo. Hauntingly mesmerising lyrics and melody.

Im excited 2 Update Happy when i do IT But i Like to tweak and create my own Chain 4 example the slate Virtual Mixing Rack But i will give IT a try thx 4 ya work

Thanks

A chain like this in a plugin makes it for hobbyists, amateurs, or less professionals easier to understand what is happening and why it is happening. You do not have to choose the tools, they are already there at hand and of excellent qualtity....Maybe a mastering chain by Steinberg with the help from Dom?

The Cubase channel strip is nice.. for me the best desser is the new plugin from Sonibel deesser this plugin is mind blow what can handling!😱 That can Cubase desser not!

Thank you very much for another excellent video. I am still looking for information as to changes in the computer performance when upgrading from 12 pro to 13 pro (CPU Load, RAM, Peeks etc). BTW: I know why you are laughing at the Dynamic EQ: It called copyright ©😊 Amram

nice video my friend. I have a question what is that mixer on your right?

Consider acoustica's mixcraft 10 pro for your daw. Ex cubase user

Such a plug will never replace experience and a trained air + a well recorded signal. Fun fact: you don't use Pitch correct but keep it turned on, not so funny fact: this plugin adds a lot of latency!

Hello Dom...Should a person set parameters on a voice test before a full recording of the voice or after as you just showed...?

What a great vocal mixing plugin. But I can't stop staring at your t-shirt...

Seems like a very useful plugin... Having upgraded to C13, I just need to find out now why all the presets are missing. I've seen a few things posted already about missing presets after upgrading etc but none have solved my issue.

Hi Dom. As usual your video on this VocalChain is very informative and interesting. However; I hope I didn’t miss anything but, where can I find the preset that you mentioned in this video? My next question is this : After using the VocalChain for your main track, can you use these original settings to harmonize your back ground vocals, like when using VariAudio scale assistance? Or is there an entirely new and different technique, that needs to be implemented when using back ground vocals? I got a little confused as to when you would use this VocalChain in the context of your tracks? Please give me a little more clarification as to when to use this vocal chain? Should it be the first thing I should use for my first vocal track? And can I use this VocalChain also to add my duplicated tracks for my harmony voices. I am wondering if I use this original VocalChain, would my background voices clash if I were to use this with the VariAudio Scale Assistance? I am not trying to become an engineer in the music industry. It is my desire to create songs using my own voice and make quality lead vocal lines and make beautiful quality background vocals to accompany my main solo voice. Please help me with this? I do hope that I have explained myself well enough for you to understand what I am trying to accomplish with my understanding of how to use this VocalChain plug-in to make my solo tracks sound great and how to make my background vocals sound equally great also. As usual I wish you continued success with all of your music videos and I also wish you success financially as well. Thank you again for sharing your continued knowledge with us music lovers and future music makers. Have a wonderful day and week.

the color changing t shirt was a blast!

I just downloaded Cubase 13 and tried the vocal chain on a track and replaced the multiple inserts that I was using. My computer is old (i7, 5820)and the CPU meter went from about 30% to spiking when I used the new vocal chain. So, I don't think I will get much out of the new vocal chain until I get my new computer with a faster processor. But, even then, other effects seem to achieve a similar effect without tying up so much CPU.

Hi Dom, What do you think using VocalChain for mastering? 😀 I think there is something useful...

Esas voces ya suenan increíbles sin tratar😅. Se pueden poner en solo las frecuencias del eq dinámico?

How to change the track-color in C13. In C12 it was in the left of the trackinspector. Where is it now?

why you dont have multi vocal mastering tutorial?

❤

Nice hair cut ,Dom. Do you ever come to Greece....Home??
