You modify the voice by changing, as shown by a neat graphic, the size and shape of the throat, mouth and lips. Throat is an interesting tool that uses physical modeling to modify your recorded vocal sound.
Fortunately, installation and authorization is an easy and straightforward process.įollowing is a look at the five plug-ins: The AVOX bundle requires (unfortunately) an iLok key for authorization, which is included in the package. And perhaps just as importantly, the effects (especially Throat, as seen below) are really fun to use… and isn’t making music supposed to be fun in the first place? FeaturesĪVOX comes in AU, VST, and (luckily for us) RTAS formats, so it is available for a wide variety of systems. With some time spent tweaking parameters, and reading the manual, we were able to create useful results that didn’t scream “processed.” Of course, in certain cases, an obvious “processed” sound made for a cool effect, too.Īll in all, Antares has created a unique suite of vocal tools that add a great deal to your arsenal for processing vocals. While the effects vary somewhat in their amount of realism and believability, all are very useful tools that help create an interesting performance. Throat enables you to make significant changes to the sound of your voice, Duo provides vocal doubling, Choir adds accompanying voices, Punch provides a vocal-optimized compressor (of sorts), and Sybil is a vocal de-esser. All this expressiveness is quite amazing when you consider the fact that the quality of one’s voice is, for the most part, fixed… or is it? Categoryģ.6 stars or better: Outstanding, WIHO AwardĢ stars or better: Suited to specific needsĪntares, famous for their Auto-Tune pitch correction software, has now introduced AVOX: a suite of five vocal plug-ins that are designed to get the most out of your vocal recordings (though the effects can certainly have some interesting uses on non-vocal sounds as well). Despite this, the human voice remains one of the most expressive, passionate instruments we can play – speaking, singing, and even vocal percussion. We are all essentially monophonic synthesizers, capable of producing only one note at a time. The human voice is at once both one of the simplest and yet one of the most complex instruments known to man.
