Powerful Multi-band Vocal Processor from Grammy Award Winning Producer and Mixing Engineer DJ Swivel.

The Sauce enables users to quickly add flavor to vocals, beats, synths and other instruments as well as to create the much sought after vocal chop effects heard in many of today’s modern hits. The Sauce is comprised of 8 sections. Each section covers specific effects that would otherwise be implemented as 8 individual plug-ins.

The Sauce provides the flexibility of a full creative effects chain in just one simple to use plug-in with everything laid out on one screen. The “Flavor” section provides Pitch and Formant Shifting without artifacts while the “Spice” section provides warm saturation or a more aggressive distortion that can beef up your sound. The “Sugar” section offers modulation effects with a chorus & flanger. The “Squeeze” section is an on-board compressor with all parameters automatically set so all one needs to do is turn the knob, with Dab being a light parallel compression, and Pump being a more aggressive compression setting.

The “Smoke” and “Drip” sections provide Reverb and Delay respectively. “Spread” allows users to adjust the stereo width. The Multi-band section enables users to set up separate processing of individual bands using all of the aforementioned effects. The output section includes high and low pass filter and a mix knob for quick wetness control.

Flavor

Sculpt & shift the pitch and formant modulation of both mono and polyphonic audio in real time. These effects are commonly used to manipulate vocals, giving that “vocal chop” sound heard in countless Pop, Dance, and Hip-Hop hits. But if you’re feeling adventurous try it on drums, you won’t be disappointed!

Sugar & Spice

Every sauce needs a little sugar and spice. Add your choice of harmonic saturation or overdrive distortion on the Spice knob, and chorus or flanger effects on the sugar knob.

Squeeze

Use these two parallel compressor options to tame or aggressively squeeze your input signal. These two compressor options can also be fed by a sidechain input.

Smoke

Add a little air with 3 different convolution reverb options, all modeled after some of DJ Swivel’s favorites from both past and present. A small room, a medium plate, or a large hall. This knob is treated as a mix knob allowing a 100% wet signal, enabling The Sauce to be used as an FX return.

Drip

Drip is a classic modern delay and echo modulation, with built in high and low pass filters, along with a ping pong option. Simple, yet effective.

Multiband

The Sauce allows for all of the above effects to be processed both as a whole, or individually across three user definable multiband layers. This allows for endless possibilities of sounds and effects never heard before, and not currently available in a standalone plugin like this.
