Soundtoys publishes information about vocal processing as Vocal Processing Week.
We have released vocal processing methods and presets, so if you have Soundtoys effects, please take a look.
If you don't have one, we have a sale, so please check it out.
However, since it is all in English, I will translate and explain various things.
The great thing is that you can download artist presets so you can try them out.
How to load the preset is also written at the bottom, so if you don't know, please read it.
I tried playing the preset.
Glass Animals Vocal Bus preset (Effect Rack) and Skinny's Alesso Vocal Delay preset (Echo Boy Jr.) was repeated.
The gain is matched and the dry sound is played first.
Intro Vocals preset for “Heatwaves” by Glass Animals (Little Alter Boy) was also added and played.
I've never used LittleAlterBoy, but it's pretty good.
Overview
Vocal processing is an essential element of music production.Vocal production goes far beyond talent and proper recording skills.Vocal production can also add, subtract, and balance vocal quality in a variety of forms and combinations, as well as talent and proper recording techniques, to create the perfect mix.Harmonics and Distortion Pitch Shift EQ and Compression Amplification Reverb Echo and Delay Modulation Automation Countless.
Simply put, professional-quality vocal processing has never been easier.Getting the vocals to blend well into the mix, have a unique character, and achieve a certain sound and quality are all difficult.I think this is a hot topic because the human voice is the ultimate instrument.
So we have content focused on vocal processing with the best tools: Soundtoys (we are very biased, of course). Artist inspiration, using Soundtoys to make vocals feel natural in a mix, transform them into something completely new, or achieve a sweeter, fuller, richer, fatter vocal sound.

Soundtoys Little Alterboy was the last Glass Animals album, and I can definitely say that it was very important to get the tweaked vocal sound, including the pitch-shifted opening words. – Dave Bayley (Glass Animals)

I use MicroShift and Decapitator all the time to add a little character and breadth to everything from vocals to guitars to cymbals.All of them are very musical and creative plugins, so they are essential plugins for me.This combination of vocal distortion and chorus is used on the main vocal bass of our song “Heatwaves”. – Dave Bailey (Glass Animals)

For vocal FX delay, I use EchoBoy a lot.By using different styles you can come up with all sorts of cool effects.I especially like using it for slap delays with filters and other more creative and weird stuff.In this mix“I look around”I'm using this Widener preset to ad-lib for a super stereo effect. The FX Slap preset is“I Said”I used it on the low octal layer of my vocal stack to make the stack thicker and more interesting. - Ryan "Skinny" Shanahan

Alesso songs"Midnight" feat. Liam Payneused for The Liam Payne song used one of my favorite vocal delays. The EchoBoy Jr. is a very straight 1/4 delay with high and low cut and some saturation.I use it at 100% on a send that routes multiple vocals. - Ryan "Skinny" Shanahan

Little Microshift LETS GO! I love this plug-in.I often use the full version of MicroShift these days because I can dial a little more accurately.This plugin is a secret weapon known to those in the know.I mainly use it because it gives a sound that is very close to the settings of the old Eventide H3000, which was used by many engineers in the hit work.Great for both lead and back vocals, usually sent at 100% to accentuate the stereo image and add thickness to the vocals.This Alesso song uses it for lead vocals. --Ryan "Skinny" Shanahan

Andrew Sarlo (Big Thief, Nick Hakim)
On Big Thief's "Two Hands," I mimicked my Space Echo and threw an EchoBoy over the lead vocals, and it stuck.The lead vocal slap back is the true value of EchoBoy. – Andrew Sallo
How to load presets
In order to load a preset, it is necessary to put the preset file in the preset folder of the target plug-in.
All of them are common, so I will explain "EchoBoy" as an example.
The "EchoBoy" preset downloads the Vocal Widener and FX Slap presets.
Open “EchoBoy” and click “Organize…” in the preset menu.
A folder will open, so open the "User" folder.
Put the downloaded file in it.
Then reload the plugin and it should recognize the presets.
I tried to ring it.
It's perfect for vocals.
Summary
It's really good that the presets are open to the public with the artist's commentary.
I look forward to your future activities.
