Core Advantages & Use Cases

Grammy-Winning Master's Signature Sound
This isn't just a product with Greg Wells' name on it; it's the very processing chain he personally tuned and uses daily in his studio. What you get is the same caliber of vocal sound found on records by superstars like Adele and Pharrell Williams—full of warmth, clarity, and a modern edge.

Extremely Simplified Workflow
Traditionally, building a complete vocal processing chain requires loading at least 5-7 different plugins and configuring complex parameters. VoiceCentric consolidates all of this into a single plugin, allowing you to complete 80% of the mixing work with one central 'Intensity' knob, saving you precious time and energy.

Dynamic & Intelligent Processing Core
The 'Intensity' knob on VoiceCentric is not a linear control. Greg Wells has meticulously designed its internal response, so specific processing elements (like heavier compression or saturation) only engage when the knob is turned past 60% or 80%. This means you get a variety of different textures and styles as you adjust, not just a simple increase or decrease of a single effect.

Three Key Built-in Spatial Effects
In addition to the core dynamics and frequency processing, VoiceCentric includes three indispensable vocal effects: Doubler, Delay, and Reverb. Each effect has its own independent control, allowing you to create a complete, spacious vocal mix without needing to load additional plugins.

Wide Applicability Across Music Genres
From Pop, R&B, and Rock to Electronic music, Greg Wells' mixing aesthetic is universally applicable. Whether you're processing a powerful rock vocal or a delicate, gentle ballad, VoiceCentric provides the perfect touch to make the vocal sit perfectly in the 'sweet spot' of the mix.
