Silk Vocal
Smart EQ & dynamics for vocals
Take Your Vocals from Raw to Pro –
In No Time.
Mixing vocals is challenging, and every vocal is different. Resonant frequencies, boominess, harshness & sibilance prevent vocals from sitting in the mix, and removing them sensitively requires time, precision and accurate monitoring.
Accelerate your vocal mixing. Start working with Silk.
Silk Vocal is a smart EQ & dynamics processor that takes your vocals from raw all the way to balanced and mixed. With its intuitive UI you’ll solve problems without needing several other plugins.
Employing innovative technology, Silk automatically detects resonances across 2000 analysis bands. Its smart vocal engine decides where and when processing should occur— you decide how much. Try it, see how fast you mix vocals.
