LANDR Vocal Bundle 2025.12 — Mac version

This bundle gives you four plugins — VoxTune, VoxChain, VoxVerb and a de-esser — that slot into any DAW that takes VST3 or AU format. They run natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, provided you're on macOS 12 or newer.

Get the vocal in tune

VoxTune is the real-time pitch correction tool. You can keep it gentle for natural-sounding fixes or push it harder for that unmistakable tuned vocal effect, all without noticeable latency.

Shape the space around it

VoxVerb adds depth without washing out the vocal. Meanwhile VoxChain combines EQ, compression and saturation in a single window, so you can get the tone sitting right before you reach for the reverb send.

Tuning a wavering verse vocal with VoxTune

Say you've just tracked a verse vocal that's mostly there but wavers on a couple of held notes. Insert VoxTune first in the chain. Set the key to match your song and pull the speed control to around halfway — fast enough to catch the wobbles, slow enough that the transition between notes doesn't sound robotic. I like to dial the wet/dry mix to about 70 percent wet so the performance keeps some human drift.

Next, drop in VoxChain. Start with the compressor section. Bring the threshold down until you see four to six decibels of reduction on the louder phrases, then nudge the makeup gain so the level feels steady. The saturation knob adds a bit of grit — turn it up just until the vocal thickens, then back it off a touch. That's usually the sweet spot. Leave the EQ for now; you'll tweak it once the reverb tells you what's poking out.

Now the fun part. Add VoxVerb on a send, not as an insert. Pick the plate setting, pull the mix all the way wet on the plugin (your DAW's send knob handles the blend), and shorten the decay until the tail disappears a heartbeat after the phrase ends. Too long and the words blur. Too short and the space feels like a cupboard.

Last in line, VoxDeEss. Solo the vocal and listen for the esses and t's that jump out. Set the frequency somewhere between 5 kHz and 8 kHz — female voices often need the higher end, male voices lower. Dial the threshold until the worst sibilants soften, but stop before the vocal starts to sound lispy. That's your basic session. From here you can loop a tricky phrase and ride the VoxTune speed against the vibrato control until it sits right.

Shifting formant character with VoxTune’s voice colour slider

• VoxTune's voice colour slider — it's easy to miss because the pitch correction grabs the attention, but nudging this shifts the formant character without changing pitch. Great for making a doubled vocal sound distinct from the lead.
• VoxChain order toggle — the three modules run EQ into compression into saturation by default, but there's a small switch that flips the compressor before the EQ. Useful when you want the compressor to react to the raw tone, not your EQ boosts.
• VoxVerb pre-delay — tucked under the main decay knob. Even fifteen milliseconds separates the dry vocal from the reverb wash enough that the words stay intelligible.
• DAW-side wet/dry for VoxDeEss — the plugin itself works full-wet, but running it on a duplicate track blended underneath the dry vocal gives you parallel de-essing. Heavy-handed settings smooth the esses without deadening the top end.
• MIDI trigger mode in VoxTune — if you're after the hard-tuned effect, feed it MIDI notes and the plugin snaps the vocal to those pitches. Faster than automating key changes for a single phrase.

Bits that trip people up

Plugin doesn't show up in the DAW. This bundle installs both VST3 and AU versions. If your DAW only scans one format on startup, check the plugin manager for the other. On Apple Silicon machines running the DAW natively, the AU versions sometimes need a rescan — Logic users can do this from the Plug-in Manager window.

VoxTune sounds warbly on held notes. You've probably left the speed control too fast while also pushing the vibrato knob. Fast correction fights natural vibrato and makes the pitch hunt. Slow the speed down to 40 or 50 percent first, then reintroduce vibrato to taste.

VoxVerb makes the vocal muddy in the low mids. The plugin includes a built-in low-cut on the reverb tail, but it's not always visible until you expand the advanced panel. Push it up to around 300 Hz and the mud clears. While you're there, the high-damp knob softens the top end so the reverb doesn't hiss on sibilant phrases.

VoxDeEss catches too much, too little, or the wrong sounds entirely. The frequency selector is a bell curve, not a shelf, so setting it correctly matters. Sweep the frequency while the vocal plays and listen for where the offending sound is loudest. Then widen the bandwidth slightly — too narrow and it only catches one syllable in ten. If you can't find the right frequency, try the listen/solo button (if your version has it) to hear only what the detector is reacting to.

High CPU with all four plugins active. VoxTune and VoxVerb are the hungriest. If you're tracking with the full chain and getting dropouts, freeze or bounce the tuned vocal before adding VoxVerb, or run VoxVerb on a bus that multiple tracks share rather than one instance per vocal.
