Uses little to no cpu and I love this for mix busses. Highly highly recommend this plugin for anyone doing a rock or metal mix or master.

Fav vocal effect in the plugin industry!

Fav vocal effect in the plugin industry

As a artist/producer who’s worked with everything from gritty underground vocals to polished pop hooks, I’ve used just about every vocal plugin under the sun. But Carnivore Audio’s Vocal Marinade? This one hit different. From the first session I dropped it into, I could tell — this wasn’t just another “vintage emulation” or overhyped plugin. Vocal Marinade brought life to vocals instantly. The harmonics, the presence, the subtle aggression — it’s like the vocals got seasoned and served hot. Here’s what stood out: • Clarity + Grit: Somehow manages to keep things crisp while adding raw character. Perfect for hip-hop, alt rock, trap, and even cinematic vocals. • Streamlined Workflow: I used to stack 3–4 plugins to get this effect. Now it’s one. Huge time-saver. • Presets That Actually Work: Every preset is usable. No filler. Just flavor. • Punchy Without Overcooking: It adds body without mud, bite without harshness. I’ve now got this locked into my vocal chain. Period. Whether you’re mixing a podcast intro or tracking vocals at 3AM in a dimly lit home studio — Vocal Marinade makes everything sound expensive. Carnivore killed it with this one. — Waynewood

Love the user interface and easy access to get my sound perfected quick in multiple genres. This is 100% a sleeper plugin!

Plugin is quick and simple to learn. Make vocals lush and clean with just a few clicks. Definitely my new go to.

The compressor on this thing rocks, tried some of the presets on ad libs….crazy!

Heard great things about the plugin from a couple engineers. Vocal marinade will be used in all my sessions.

Simply put, Vocal Marinade is a beast. If you want your vocals to cut through the mix with professional-grade clarity and character, this is the secret sauce you need. 🔥🔥🔥

Vocal Marinade is one of the best! I've owned a local studio in Casper, Wyoming, for the last 10 years, and I've always struggled to get vocals to sit perfectly in my mixes without using 5–7 different plugins. Vocal Marinade fixes that effortlessly! Now, all I have to do is slap this baby onto any mix, and the vocals sound amazing instantly. At just $199, this is an absolute steal. If you're a small music producer, don't hesitate it's so worth it!

Thank you for Vocal Marinade! My vocals sound polished 🔥

Crazy how one plugin can replace 5, Carnivore Audio is the future.

Absolute game-changer. A must-have for any producer! 💯🎤

I love how i can get my vocals sounding professional with just one plugin. I think one the highlights of the plugin is the eq combined with the saturation and distortion. It creates a unique grit i love.
