Antares Vocal Producer Overview

The heart of any great song is a great vocal sound. With the Antares Vocal

Producer, we’ve combined our world-renowned Auto-Tune Pitch Correc-

tion and TEC-Award-winning Microphone Modeler technologies with

state-of-the-art vocal processing modules to give you everything you need

to create stunning vocal tracks in any musical style.

Live or in the studio, the AVP lets you instantly select from a library of

sounds. From gorgeously mellow to seriously twisted, we’ve included

factory presets for a wide variety of vocal styles as well as an interface that

makes it easy to create your own signature sounds. (And given the power

and flexibility of the AVP’s processing modules, we’ve even included a

selection of presets for instrumental and percussion tracks.)

The Antares Vocal Producer features:

• Auto-Tune Real-time Pitch Correction Antares’s world-renowned Auto-

Tune technology lets you correct the pitch of vocals (or solo instru-

ments), in real time, without distortion or artifacts, while preserving all

of the expressive nuance of the original performance.

• Antares Microphone Modeling Our TEC Awarding-winning Microphone

Modeler technology lets you give your vocal tracks the characteristics of

a variety of high-end studio mics as well as adjust the proximity effect

associated with mic distance.

• Analog Tube Modeling Gives your vocals the warmth of a classic tube

preamp.

• Variable Knee Compressor A state-of-the-art dynamics processor with

threshold, ratio, attack and decay controls as well as a continuously

variable knee characteristic.

• Downward Expanding Gate The AVP’s gate, with threshold and ratio

controls, works independently of the compressor to eliminate noise and

breath sounds.

• Variable Frequency De-Esser The AVP’s de-esser tames vocal sibilance

with threshold, ratio, attack and decay controls as well as a variable

highpass frequency to match any vocal performance.
