Capturing a flawless vocal recording can be challenging due to common issues like plosives, pops, crackles, and clicks. Achieving a clean vocal track is essential before applying compression or reverb, and this is where Vocal Cleaner excels. Designed to be the first plugin in your vocal effects chain, it subtly reduces harsh sibilance and removes intermittent noise, streamlining the initial stage of vocal processing. Its intuitive interface features threshold sliders and Amount dials, making it easy to operate and integrate into any digital audio workstation.

Vocal Cleaner employs intelligent algorithms to separate voice from noise, allowing you to minimize background hum and hiss without degrading vocal quality. It features dedicated modules for de-noising, de-essing to tame harsh 'sss' and 'shh' sounds, and a noise gate to eliminate quiet, unwanted audio sections such as breaths and room noise. The plugin offers Bright, Natural, and Dark modes, enabling tailored processing for different audio characteristics, and includes high and low pass filters along with a presence control that enhances clarity through subtle saturation, compression, and equalization.

The interface provides real-time visual feedback through live VU meters for precise monitoring of each cleaning stage, while click-and-pop-free bypass ensures smooth A/B testing. Users can blend the cleaned signal with the original vocal using the Master Mix control, allowing for parallel processing effects. Vocal Cleaner also includes a variety of presets optimized for male, female, and backing vocals, facilitating quick setup and effective results. Compatible with Windows and Mac systems, this CPU-friendly plugin is ideal for producers seeking efficient, high-quality vocal cleanup.
