My favorite, granted it’s not free, is NI’s Razor mostly because I love the sound. For myself, I must look past the GUI and hear the results. But you may not care for the additional features, the GUI, or it may not deliver your desired audio objectives as easy or maybe not at all. The FREE Blue Arp IMO has more features/options, and goes in more depth than the $99 Vocodex.

Waves Morphoder is a great general purpose vocoder. Since it’s “such a pain” I would suggest several that don’t require the Quadro set up. It has nothing to do with quality or it being “stable.” Limiter No. Educate yourself about why developers charge for VST’s and why others remain free. Vocodex is the best vocoder I’ve ever usedĪs others mentioned, that is not true, and a very presumptuous statement unless you have extensively used the many Vocoders that are free as well as commercial.

Does anyone agree? And does anyone have any brainstorms/ideas for how to make it faster?įirst, I don’t really trust any free plugins. I love using vocoders, but it’s always such a hassle. It’s not something I can just try conveniently try out or play with, and adding it COMPLETELY disrupts my workflow and creative juices.Īnyway, I’m not sure what the best way forward here is, but it would be SOOOO NICE if there was a faster way to set up a vocoder. It’s just that whenever I use a vocoder, it’s like I really have to plan the whole thing ahead of time. Then I have to make sure Vocodex is receiving the data and can use it properly (this I don’t have to worry about any more because I changed the plugin default so that I don’t have to change anything, and if not for that I could use an FX chain preset) Then I have to add the carrier and route it to the appropriate child bus, then I have to add the modulator (if it doesn’t already exist) and route it to the appropriate child bus. Then I have to add Vocodex onto that group channel.

Then, go to studio->audio connections, then find the group channel and add child bus-> stereo, then do the same for “stereo Ls Rs”. It’s such a pain to set up a vocoder (I use vocodex for my vocoder fyi)įirst, add a group channel track, and make sure to set it to quadro.
