AVOX is a new “vocal toolkit” from Antares that enables you to radically transform vocal tracks. Apart from the expected choir effect, de-esser and so on, this package lets you actually remodel a singer’s vocal path, from lungs to lips. The amount of control you have is almost grotesque: “THROAT’s graphical Throat Shaping display allows you to individually adjust the position and width of five points in the vocal tract model, from the vocal cords, through the throat, mouth and out to the lips.” You can be Dr Frankenstein in the privacy of your own laptop studio.

As they say, “now you can sound like all the voices in your head.” The website has details on the full package. They write: AVOX is a suite of five new state-of-the-art vocal processors that give you the power to create stunning vocal tracks in any musical style as well as design unique vocal effects for audio post-production applications. AVOX includes:

THROAT Physical Modeling Vocal Designer — a radical new vocal tool that, for the first time, lets you process a vocal through a meticulously crafted physical model of the human vocal tract.

DUO Vocal Modeling Auto-Doubler — using a simplified version of THROAT’s vocal modeling, along with variations in pitch, timing and vibrato depth, DUO automatically generates a doubled vocal part from an existing vocal with unmatched ease and realism.

CHOIR Vocal Multiplier — actually turns a single voice into up to 32 distinct individual unison voices, each with its own pitch, timing and vibrato variations.

PUNCH Vocal Impact Enhancer — as its name so ably implies, PUNCH gives your vocal more dynamic impact, allowing it to cut through a dense mix with clarity and power.

SYBIL Variable Frequency De-Esser — tames vocal sibilance with a flexible compressor and a variable highpass frequency to match any vocal performance.
