VOCAL MENACE An All-In-One Free Vocal Effects Processing Plugin
Chris Liepe, a renowned vocalist and educator, has just released Vocal Menace—a powerful, all-in-one vocal effects plugin that makes it easy to transform your vocals, no matter your experience level. Whether you’re a beginner trying to get the most out of your practice or a seasoned singer looking to enhance your recordings, this plugin has got you covered.
Chris is well-known for his versatile voice and his popular YouTube channel, where he shares vocal techniques with millions of viewers. You might also recognize his voice from commercial projects like theme songs and advertising jingles. Now, with Vocal Menace, he’s made a free plugin that helps anyone—from bedroom musicians to professional artists—get polished, pro-quality vocals without needing to dive into complicated technical settings.
Vocal Menace is all about simplicity, but it packs a punch. Here’s what you can expect:
- Heat: This control acts as a compressor/limiter, giving your voice more power and presence. Crank it up, and you’ll instantly feel the intensity ramp up—perfect for energetic performances or even aggressive, screaming vocals.
- Drive: Add a bit of grit and character with this knob. Turn it up to saturate your vocals, making them raw and edgy, ideal for rock or metal. Or keep it subtle to add warmth to cleaner pop vocals.
Even though Vocal Menace can easily handle extreme vocal styles, it’s also great for adding a touch of texture to more melodic vocals. It really shines for artists who switch between smooth, melodic tones and more intense, powerful sounds—think along the lines of bands like Bullet For My Valentine.
Additional controls help you fine-tune your sound:
- Sheen: Adds brightness and clarity to make your vocals shine, especially when things get more aggressive.
- Girth: Provides a little extra warmth and depth without overwhelming your vocal tone.
- Cup: This fun feature adds a cool, lo-fi effect for when you want to get creative and experiment with a more unique, vintage sound.
On top of that, there are reverb and delay effects:
- Wash: Adjusts the length and volume of the reverb to create that perfect echo or space.
- Call: Controls the delay feedback, great for adding width and depth to your vocals.
- Pain: Introduces sidechain compression to the reverb and delay, helping your vocals sit perfectly in the mix while maintaining clarity.
The best part? The delay is tempo-synced with your DAW, so it always fits perfectly with your track.
Vocal Menace is available for free and can be downloaded instantly after creating an account on MyMusicalVoice. If you want to support future developments, there are paid options:
