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.
