• Free Acapella Vst Plugin

Now let’s look at VST plugins. The VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugin, invented by Steinberg in the late nineties, allows for the addition of synthesisers and effects to one’s digital audio workstation. There are two kinds of VST plugins: VST instruments and VST effects.

The former digitised old hardware (synths and samplers); the latter, adds effects (compression, reverb, pitch correction, etc.), which change the way input is processed. Given the wide range of VST plugins, it’s necessary to narrow the scope of our inquiry. Let’s look at four free VST effects plugins for FL (Fruity Loops) Studio, all of which can be found at vstwarehouse.com.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
