Controlled Vocal Mayhem
Charlie Bauerfeind. 35 Years. One Strip.
While others fill rooms with gear, Charlie Bauerfeind fills records with results — three decades of recording legends like Helloween, Blind Guardian, Motörhead, Saxon, and Van Canto will do that to you. Every session. Every gut call on compression, EQ, de-essing and saturation. All of it is now inside this plugin.
The Ugritone Vocal Channel Strip is a complete, purpose-built processing chain for metal vocals. Vocals wider than Odin's shoulders. Presence that doesn't beg for attention — it commands it.
The Chain
Seven modules. One signal path. Zero compromise.
Brutalizer → EQ → De-Esser 1 → Expander → De-Esser 2 → Limiter → Spreader
Compression that keeps intelligibility intact without strangling the power. An EQ that sounds musical because it is musical. Two de-essing stages placed exactly where they need to be. A Spreader that pushes vocals wide into the stereo field — three-dimensional, not flat.
The result: a vocal that doesn't hide in the mix. It walks out of the speakers and stands in the room.
Your Workflow, Your Rules
- Easy Mode — load a preset, trust Charlie, get back to recording
- Full Mode — take the wheel and dial every module to taste
Charlie's chain is a blueprint, not a cage. Reorder, bypass or rebuild from scratch — nothing here is cast in iron. Unless you want it to be.
Visual feedback across the entire chain. Global dry/wet plus per-module control where it counts.
