Back to all plugins

Free pitch-aware vocal harmonic EQ by nClear. VocRide listens to the incoming vocal, tracks the detected fundamental, and moves two EQ bands with the performance.

macOS / Windows / Linux · VST3 / CLAP / AU / LV2

VocRide plugin interface

Instead of chasing fixed EQ points by hand, VocRide lets you shape the vocal around the note that is actually being sung. The center of the product is intentionally simple: one musical control for the fundamental, one for the second harmonic, and a moving display that shows where the plugin is listening.

  • Automatically locks onto vocal harmonics.
  • Controls the level of the first, second, and third harmonics.
  • Includes a fourth Nth band with adjustable frequency and Q.
  • Shows input and output level analysis.
  • Includes output volume and bypass.
  • Dark / Light theme

Main features

VocRide pitch tracking display

Pitch-aware tracking

The detector follows the vocal fundamental so the EQ movement stays connected to the actual note.

VocRide fundamental control

Harmonics gain

Ride the weight of the sung note with one focused control instead of hunting frequency points.

VocRide second harmonic control

Nth harmonic

The fourth band can follow up to the 14th harmonic or target an exact 3-12 kHz frequency with adjustable Q.

macOS Universal VST3, AU, CLAP. macOS 10.13 or later
