Overview

Mix vocals like a pro in minutes with the Vocal Enhancer plugin

Experience the transformative power of Noveltech's Vocal Enhancer and the ease with which it elevates your vocal tracks. Simply adjusting the Enhancement knob unleashes a blend of dynamic and frequency-dependent processing, adding a polished, glossy feel to your vocals.

Go beyond harmonic exciters using a new type of voice enhancer


Old-school harmonic exciters are notorious for unwanted side effects. Utilizing Noveltech’s Intelligent Adaptive Filtering (IAF) technology, Vocal Enhancer dynamically enhances your audio material’s desirable characteristics. Unlike traditional methods that statically boost frequencies like an EQ or artificially add harmonics like a conventional exciter, IAF adapts to the source material. This ensures a natural tone, even when applied generously.

Enhance any instrument with unmasking  through adaptive processing


This versatile plugin does more than enhance vocals; it's a powerful tool for amplifying the detail and definition of snare drums, guitars, synths, and background tracks. The Focus Frequency knob and range selectors ensure your instruments shine in the midrange without overshadowing other elements in the mix.

Refine unprocessed audio in an instant


The Noveltech Vocal Enhancer is crafted for optimal performance with unprocessed audio. It provides raw audio with a glistening airy quality associated with professional vocals. The Auto-Level feature also ensures a harmonious, balanced output without the need for extensive peak-level adjustments.

    The name ‘Vocal Enhancer’ is actually misleading. This plug sounds amazing on anything that needs mid-range detail and presence. Guitars? Snare? Awesome.
