It's a very deep plugin with enormous customization and modulation options. But it sounds absolutely incredible when you get the hang of it. really liked this one as well but same , too limited imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think people really understand how complex that plugin is. It's a mainstay in EDM sound design for a reason. This guy spends 15 minutes covering what is probably 5% of it's capabilities - and just those features blow most vocoders out of the water: 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's handy when you want a multi-effect with other non-vocoding features, but for straight vocoding Vocodex all the way. It would be like pulling up Byome for saturation distortion - sure it's got a bunch of other effects that are handy, but if I only want saturation distortion I'm going to open a dedicated plugin that is the best in its class. Having said that, I really like Vocalsynth, but not really for strictly vocoding duties. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a problem with iZotope plugins as they degrade the sound, like eq's limiters etc... Haven't been using iZotope at all for like 3 years now... but VocalSynth and Trash i like for mangling duties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zo Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 The problem with izotope is the fx imho and presets ... i really start from scratch and use usually two modules ... But like always its a question of context , in tracks ovox was prefered because more modern ect ... and of course a question of taste ... I will give the imageline a go again thks for the reminder . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
