Achieving uniform compression across a vocal track can be challenging — especially if you’re working with an especially dynamic performer. Enter Noiseworks Enshape. This plug-in has become a crucial part of our mixing workflow here at Sweetwater, enabling us to compress and shape vocal tracks, even unusually erratic ones, without having to dial in a hard-to-pin-down threshold parameter. Enshape is a breeze to use — simply deploy it as the first compressor in your vocal chain, and it will deliver smooth dynamics control effectively and consistently. It operates using four key parameters — Attack and Release for both the Input Envelope and Target Envelope — which determine how the original signal is captured and how its dynamics are adjusted. Want to reduce transients? Use longer Attack settings. Aiming for enhanced sustain? Try longer Release settings. Either way, Enshape makes nailing the sound you hear in your head an incredibly straightforward affair. Dynamic vocal shaping with Enshape — it’s what your vocal tracks are missing.
