N.º 04 · Vocal over beat
The vocal on top. The beat intact.
One knob: SPACE. It sits on the beat, listens to the vocal through sidechain, and its reactor breathes with the voice — meters and coach line tell you exactly what it's carving, only while it's carving it.
Spectral ducking for one job: making room for the vocal inside the beat. It analyzes voice and beat in 26 log-spaced bands (120 Hz–12 kHz) and only dips a band where BOTH collide at that moment.
No collision, no movement: it never pumps in the gaps. If there's no vocal at all, the output is bit-exact passthrough.
The dip lands 100% on the Mid channel and only 35% on the Sides — the center opens for the voice while the beat's stereo width stays put.
Below 120 Hz and above 12 kHz the beat is untouchable — kick, 808 and air are always safe.
Level-independent: adaptive references mean SPACE responds the same whether the vocal comes in at -20 or -6 dB.
Zero samples of audio latency. The vocal arrives by DAW sidechain — or by the Se7en Audio Server's internal group A, with no manual routing.
Every claim above is backed by the shipping code — how we measure is documented in the methodology. Methodology →

|---|---|
| Detection | 26 log bands, 120 Hz–12 kHz · attack 8 ms / release 160 ms |
| Depth | Up to 12 dB per band, perceptual taper (50% ≈ 4.5 dB) |
| Latency | 0 samples |
| Format | VST3 · Windows x64 (validated) · runs local or on the Se7en Audio Server |
Part of the line
Every Se7en plugin can hand its heavy DSP to the Se7en Audio Server — a separate process, outside your DAW's audio thread — and the plugins can feed each other through internal sidechain groups, no DAW buses. No server? It always sounds: local processing is instant fallback.

Easy Vocals is in private beta. The list hears about the release — and the launch price — before anyone else. No spam.

Who builds this
These tools come out of a working studio — built by a producer with 25 years of records for his own sessions first. If you make music and already have an audience, the studio also takes collaborations.
