SWEAX NEXT editor after analysing a vocal: spectrum, meters, seven macro knobs and the chain cards

The demo take, through every style

A synthetic voice reading our own lines, made worse on purpose: a boxy room, fan noise, mains hum, mic pops, harsh esses and lines recorded at different levels. Each version below came out of SweaxNext's own render tool. Nothing was touched by hand.

Styles

Artist styles

Artist styles describe the vocal sound on those artists' records. The artists have nothing to do with SweaxNext and have not endorsed it.

What it does

Put it on the vocal channel, press Analyse and play the verse. It listens, names what is wrong, builds a chain, checks the result offline and then hands you ordinary parameters you can automate, tweak and undo.

The screen

Everything below is the plug-in drawing itself: the editor is rendered off-screen from the real processor while the demo take plays through it.

Pick the role. Lead vocal, backing, ad-lib or the whole master.
Let it listen. It counts phrases, s-sounds and pops and shows how sure it is.
Mix ready. Every card says what it did and why, or why it wasn't needed.

16 styles, 16 chains

A style is a complete recipe: the order of the insert modules and where each one starts. The analysis still decides how hard each module works on your take.

StyleSoundChain order after the EQ

The artist-named styles are written descriptions of a vocal sound, turned into processing recipes. They are not the artists' own settings, and Killoki, Reçkol, Ati242, Uzi, Motive, Kava, Ezhel, Ceza, Allame, Şehinşah, Sagopa Kajmer and Ben Fero, their labels and engineers are not affiliated with SweaxNext and have not endorsed it.

How it decides

There is no neural network inside. SweaxNext measures, runs one detector per problem, plans with rules and the style recipe, and then checks its own plan by rendering the captured take and measuring it again.

Architecture

Install

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, and any host that loads VST3. Made and tested in Studio One.

    Latency and CPU

    Latency depends only on the quality mode and is reported to the host, so your DAW lines the vocal up. Use Live while recording.
