Cubase Vst Fx Plugins

| Posted on by

In our How to Mix Music guide we talked about why mixing dynamic sounds is a tough egg to crack. Vocals are super dynamic so they’re trickier to mix.

Master FX Rack: Includes 2 VST/AU plugin sections (serial & parallel modes available), 5-Band Parametric EQ, Pitch Shifter and a Cutoff Filter (HPF/LPF) Output Clone mode: This allows generating a delayed copy of the output signal and to apply a slight different pitch shifting in comparison with the original output, creating interesting decay.

But you don’t have to pull your hair out every time you hit the mixing board to get the perfect vocal.

There’s a dizzying amount of audio effects plugins out there. That’s why we did the digging so you don’t have to.

Here’s 9 plugins that will help you get your vocals and beats fitting together like peas and carrots.

1. Vladg and Tokyo Dawn Proximity

Ever recorded an entire vocal only to realize you had the mic in the wrong spot? No sweat.

The Vladg and Tokyo Dawn Proximity lets you change the mic placement AFTER you record. Pretty useful and pretty cool.


2. Acon Digital Multiply Chorus

Vocals need some color. That’s where a chorus plugin comes in.

Acon Digital’s Multiply Chorus will thicken up your sound. It’s a whole bunch of tiny delays (we’re talking milliseconds) that fill out your vocals to liven them up a bit.

3. Melda MAutoPitch Auto-Tune

Auto-tune’s origins are pretty strange. But there’s no denying that it’s an invaluable tool for producers dealing with vocals.

Auto-tune is the vocal mixer’s secret weapon. MAutoPitch is one of the best auto-tune plugins around. It fixes pitch, corrects sour notes, and even gives you that iconic T-pain/Cher effect if you want it.

This one comes in a free plugin bundle with all sorts of fun mixing toys.

4. Voxengo OldSkoolVerb

Reverb for vocals is essential. Reverb takes your vocals out of the room you recorded them in, and allows you to make your own sound space.

OldSkoolVerb has got you covered no matter what your needs are. From huge halls to a tiny closet, it gives you all the options to create the perfect sonic space in your mix.

5. Klanghelm DC1A

The DC1A is a nifty little character compressor by Klanghelm. It uses sophisticated compression settings and an easy 2 knob setup that has you covered “from smooth levelling to heavy pumping.”

Be sure to check out their absolutely EPIC demo video.

6. Alex Hilton A1 Trigger Gate

If you’re wondering how far you can push your vocal track this plugin will do a great job letting you know.

Using a step-style sequencer the A1 Trigger Gate packs in a boat load of cool effects. It’s good for all sorts of stuff. So grab it and start experimenting.

7. Glitch Machines Hysteresis

Just like any other part of a mix, vocals are a great place to experiment. The effects on Hysteresis definitely deliver a whole bundle of experimentation.


This delay plugin creates “robotic artifacts and abstract music malfunctions.” Count me in.

8. Acustica Ochre EQ

All good mixing needs a keen sense of EQ early on. Vocals are no exception.

That’s why the Ochre from Acustica is so useful. It’s perfect for sculpting out the best vocals you can.

9. Fine Cut Bodies La Petite Excite

Exciter plugins add subtle harmonics to your vocal track for some extra sonic-excitement in the high range.

The free La Petite Excite from Fine Cut Bodies (you just have to signup to get it) is a great plug to try out.

Throw it on your vocal and enhance it to your liking with some subtle harmonic distortion.
