There really isn’t another plugin out there comparable to what this does to drum room mics. This allowed me to heavily compress and distort my room mics, while the “darkness” knob allowed me to control the harshness.
I grew fond of the Devil-Loc Deluxe on room mics. I’ve been using this to give my lead vocals that extra 5-10%.īeyond vocals, the Soundtoys 5 Bundle really excels on drums. When blended in parallel to a lead vocal, it adds natural width and depth to a vocal that is very similar to an H3000. I use it in place of an Eventide H3000 for vocal widening and doubling effects. Lastly, my secret weapon of all these has been the MicroShift. Little Radiator was fantastic for adding some warmth and harmonics to a thin vocal, or really anything that could use some harmonic saturation. Decapitator is great for adding some bite and grit to a vocal, with plenty of analog flavor. Beyond the Echo Boy, I found myself using a few other plugins heavily on vocals, these being the Decapitator, Little Radiator, and MicroShift. The cool thing is that these delays are based on some of the most famous delay boxes made, such as the Echo Box and Space Echo. Right off the bat, I found myself reaching for the Echo Boy to add beautiful, three-dimensional delay to my vocals. Vocals are one of the first things people think of adding effects to, and the Soundtoys 5 bundle has plenty of great options for vocal processing.
While all of the plugins within the bundle have their own unique features and uses, I found there to be a handful that really stood out from the rest. These plugins make effects processing easy and fun, without sounding cheap or tacky – something I find an issue with many effects plugins. This will be a familiar feature for users of the Slate Digital Virtual Mix Rack. The cool thing about the Effects Rack is that it can be used as an all-in-one plugin module to build and customize your own effects chains within the space of one plugin. The bundle comes with twenty different effects plugins, which can either be used within the Soundtoys Effects Rack, or on their own. Its versatility, quality, and and ease-of-use with these plugins is second to none. The Soundtoys 5 Bundle is what I consider to be the best effects plugin bundle on the market.
