Solid State Logic Vocalstrip and Vocal Flow Bundle

What SSL Vocalstrip (with Harrison Vocal Flow) Is For

This pack is designed to transform a raw vocal take into a finished voice, ready to fit into a modern mix. It covers typical vocal production needs in both home studio and professional environments: stabilizing dynamics, cleaning sibilance and plosives, shaping the tone, then adding depth and width with effects. It suits lead vocals, backing vocals, spoken word, podcasts, as well as very upfront rap or pop vocals.

The "all-in-one" approach limits back-and-forth between multiple plug-ins: you keep a clear chain, easy to recall from session to session, and save time during revisions.

Main Features

SSL Native Vocalstrip 2: a focused and musical vocal channel strip

Vocalstrip 2 combines four voice-dedicated modules to quickly go from a dry signal to a polished sound. The heart of the chain is the Compander, a compressor/expander hybrid, useful for controlling level variations, tightening a performance, and giving a sense of proximity without crushing naturalness. The built-in equalizer aims for an effective and fast result, with a curve designed for vocals to clarify articulation, clean muddy areas, and add air.

The De-Esser and De-Ploser modules work intelligently, with behavior based on dynamics and a lookahead function to detect artifacts precisely. You can choose between split and broadband modes to adapt processing to the voice, microphone, or take (fine and aggressive sibilance, heavy plosives, etc.), while preserving the overall color.

Free module order and real-time metering

Instead of imposing a fixed chain, Vocalstrip 2 allows you to reorder the signal path: placing the EQ before dynamics to shape the compressor's reaction, or after to finalize the tone, becomes an immediate creative choice. Each module benefits from real-time visual feedback (including FFT overlay and full-band EQ display) to adjust faster, even in a busy mix. The A/B function facilitates comparing two settings without losing your inspiration, and presets inspired by engineers speed up starting with a "radio-ready" sound.

Harrison Vocal Flow: intelligent shaping to a "produced" sound

Harrison Vocal Flow perfectly complements the SSL approach with a seven-module vocal suite, production-oriented. Its highlight is the Vocal Character EQ, an equalizer that follows the pitch of the incoming signal and adjusts the EQ curve position accordingly. This logic allows working on body and clarity note by note, to thicken lows without weighing down, or open highs without making the voice harsh.

Harrison's De-Esser module effectively attenuates sibilant frequencies, while the Leveler acts like a compressor designed to reduce dynamic range while preserving timbre and tonality. For classic shaping, the 32C Channel EQ offers four bands and high-pass and low-pass filters, ideal for carving space for vocals among guitars, keyboards, and percussion.

Integrated effects to place the voice in space

To finish a production, Vocal Flow includes effects directly suited for vocals: a Chorus to widen and give an immersive feel, a Delay designed for slapback (and simple echoes to dial in), as well as a Reverb to add ambiance and depth. The whole set allows going from an intimate, dry voice to a wide, modern vocal without multiplying instances or complicating routing.
