Sonnox Voca

Wasn’t too sure about it at first. I thought it made vocals sound a bit harsh, or at least it didn’t seem to particularly soften harsh vocals and esses. Having played with it quite extensively now, I can say that if you take time to make fine adjustments this plugin will deliver pretty good vocals. Note that it doesn’t do EQ, as such (the ‘soften’ knob is a kind of dynamic EQ). I found that putting an EQ before it worked best for me. I prefer it to Waves’ Silk and also Izotope’s Nectar 3 Plus (and I don’t like Nectar 4 at all!)
