Music makers know the challenge: getting vocals to truly resonate in a mix. It’s not just about technical perfection; it’s about capturing personality, warmth, and impact without endless tweaking. Vocal Marinade by Carnivore Audio offers a direct path to that professional, captivating vocal sound you've been working toward.

Forget the usual frustrations of chaining multiple plugins. Vocal Marinade brings an all-in-one solution that delivers instant warmth, clarity, and depth to your vocal tracks, streamlining your workflow so you can focus on creating music, not endlessly tweaking settings. This isn't just another tool; it's designed to bring your vocals to life, making them sit perfectly in your mix with a polished, impactful presence.

Essential Tools for Your Sound

Built with a clear, intuitive interface, Vocal Marinade consolidates 22 vocal effects into one powerful plugin. It’s packed with seven core tools, allowing you to achieve mix-ready vocals in seconds:

• Precision EQ: Shape your vocals with focused bass and treble controls, ensuring they fit harmonically within your track.
• Dynamic Compression: Achieve consistent vocal levels effortlessly, adding punch and control to your performances.
• Rich Reverb and Delay: Add space and dimension, from subtle echoes to expansive atmospheres, giving your vocals character and presence.
• Signature Saturation: Apply unique texture and character with intuitive "smoke," "black," and "burnt" intensity knobs, creating that sought-after analog feel and bringing your vocals upfront in the mix.
• "Marinade" Effect (Chorus): Infuse your vocals with a distinct flavor, adding a touch of movement and fullness.
• Additional features like spatial enhancement, distortion, and igniter controls provide further creative flexibility for diverse vocal sound design.

Each function can be individually bypassed, and you can dial in the intensity using "rare," "medium," and "well" controls, offering nuanced adjustments without complexity.

Built by Artists, for Artists

Unlike generic plugins, Vocal Marinade excels at its specialized purpose: vocal transformation. It was developed in close partnership with independent artists JavyDade and Waynewood, directly addressing the real needs of creators in the studio. JavyDade, a seasoned producer, shared that designing this plugin was personal, born from his own struggles to get vocals just right. Waynewood aimed to help other independent artists achieve pro-level vocals with ease. Carnivore Audio's foundation is built on combining professional-grade audio engineering with user-first design, making powerful tools accessible for artists at any level.

The result is a plugin that provides "soul" to your tracks, sounding authentic, warm, and even a bit daring. It’s been described as like "putting your vocals in the smoker, not the microwave," hinting at a deeper, more refined sound. Users have called it a "beast channel strip" and a "game-changer" for music production, noting how it adds much-needed warmth and pro-level sound.

Broad Compatibility for All Creators

Vocal Marinade works seamlessly with all major DAWs, including Ableton, Logic Pro, FL Studio, and Pro Tools. Moreover, it now supports Adobe Premiere Pro (VST3) and Final Cut Pro (AU), allowing video editors, content creators, and filmmakers to integrate studio-grade vocal processing directly into their video projects, eliminating the need to move between different applications.

Vocal Marinade by Carnivore Audio is more than just an audio plugin; it’s a creative partner for anyone looking to make their vocals shine with speed and genuine character. It's designed for producers, artists, engineers, and content creators who want compelling, radio-ready vocals without the fuss.
