VocRide 2Lite + Pro
Tame vocal harmonics.
Only when they get too loud.
Pitch-following vocal EQ. Pro adds independent dynamics to each band, so you can control loud moments without applying the same cut to the whole phrase.
30-minute Pro Preview inside the plugin.

Harmonic DYN · Pro
The right band. The right moment.
A vocal phrase can sound balanced until one word makes the second or third harmonic jump out. A constant EQ cut also changes the parts you wanted to keep. Harmonic DYN lets each band respond to its own level while following the note.
- Independent Threshold and Strength for each of the four bands.
- Pitch-following bands, with a fixed-frequency option for the fourth.
- See the static EQ curve and the additional dynamic reduction.
- Keep using Gain to shape the overall tone.

Supporting features
More ways to shape the voice.
Pro — Harmonic Solo
Hear the bands you want to adjust.
Listen to one or several harmonic bands after EQ and dynamics to hear how your settings affect them.
- Solo any of the four bands, separately or together
- Works with DYN on or off
- Hear the processed bands, not the removed signal
Pro — Linear Phase + Phase Rotation
Choose phase behaviour by ear.
Linear Phase processes the Low Cut, harmonic EQ and dynamics together. It adds latency and may cause pre-ringing on sharp consonants; Live Mode turns it off. Within Linear Phase, Phase Rotation from −90° to +90° can reduce asymmetric peaks on suitable material.
- Phase Rotation adds no latency beyond Linear Phase
- Uses the same angle for the left and right channels
- Listen and watch the peaks; extra headroom is not guaranteed
- When inactive, the control is disabled but its saved angle is preserved
Lite + Pro — Pitch-aware tracking
Pitch-following EQ in Lite.
The detector follows the vocal fundamental so the EQ movement stays connected to the actual note.
The first three bands follow the harmonics; the fourth can follow another harmonic or stay at a fixed frequency.
Lite + Pro — Harmonics gain
Harmonics gain.
Ride the weight of the sung note with one focused control instead of hunting frequency points.
Why only four bands?
Focused on the first three harmonics, with a flexible fourth band for another harmonic or a fixed frequency.
Lite + Pro — Current Note
The detected pitch stays visible.
Current Note keeps the detected pitch on screen while the harmonic bands move with the singer. Included in Lite, Preview, and Pro.
- Available in every tier
- Confirms tracking at a glance
- Low Cut follows below the fundamental
Lite + Pro — Automatic Gain Compensation
Automatic Gain Compensation.
AGC evens out the level so the processed vocal stays closer to the original loudness while you shape the harmonics.
Lite + Pro — Live Mode
Live Mode.
A very low-latency mode for live performance and real-time monitoring, using a lighter processing path that stays practical on stage.
Lite + Pro — LowCut
LowCut.
Cut rumble below the detected fundamental with musical 12, 24, or 48 dB/oct slopes that follow the vocal.
