Premium Vocal Processing with a Hollywood Hue
The wide-ranging and intuitive Joe Chiccarelli Vocal Strip plug-in is the fast way to turn average tracks into infectious earworms. Joe Chiccarelli's career as a producer and engineer at Hollywood’s Sunset Sound studio has earned him multiple Grammy awards and production credits alongside The Killers, The Strokes, Alanis Morissette, The White Stripes, U2, Jason Mraz, and more. In short, Joe knows his stuff. This new IK Multimedia signature plug-in puts Joe's favorite signal chain, effects, EQ tools, and more at your fingertips without having to book a flight to LA. This collection has tons of room for customization and detailed tweaking, but it’s also easy to get started right away with numerous onboard presets; the strip works independently as a plug-in or as part of IK Multimedia's T-RackS 5 software suite.

Powerful compressors and more
The Chiccarelli Vocal Strip’s compressor section includes a trio of legendary compressors with an analog parallel workflow. These selections are modeled after the same compressors used at Sunset Sound on which Joe developed his reputation for moving, emotional vocals that take tracks and albums to an award-winning level. Beyond compression, Sweetwater engineers have found the handy de-esser section is useful for clarifying and polishing unpleasant sounds out of your vocal mix. The de-esser has male and female optimization modes with smart sibilance-cutting tools for removing hissing syllables and sounds that leave you with nothing but pure radio-ready vocals.
EQ, analog processing, and effects
The Vocal Strip's robust EQ section keeps crisp vocals at your disposal constantly. The EQ section can be used either as part of the strip’s compressor chain or as an independent tone shaper (choose your path using a simple Pre/Post EQ placement switch). Other onboard sound-shaping options include a drive option for giving vocals a gain-boosting cut, a color tool for adjusting the drive’s harmonic thickness, and a wet/dry blend tool for getting just the right balance of affected vocals for your mix. Finally, the Joe Chiccarelli Vocal Strip also includes two of each of the following: reverb, delay, and modulation all selected by Joe from IK Multimedia's vast library of premium effects.
