Voca Black Friday deal: Sonnox Voca drops by 74% to $29 until Dec 17, 2026, and it puts compression, saturation, de-harshing and level control for vocals into one plugin.
Voca is a vocal processing plugin from Sonnox. The maker built it to replace a chain of separate compressors with one set of controls, so you can get an upfront vocal that sits in the mix without stacking several plugins.
The maker says Voca removes the usual compressor maths. There are no threshold, ratio, time constant, gain reduction or makeup gain controls to set. You shape the result with Voca's own interface instead of starting from a preset.
The processing is split into four sections:
Sonnox says the compressors take inspiration from classics like the 1176 and LA-2A, then go beyond hardware and emulation plugins with a Sonnox twist.
The maker describes two ends of the range. One is slow, bouncy compression for momentum and groove. The other is a vibrant, in-your-face vocal.
Saturation is there for rich, dense vocals. Sonnox says it moves from warmth and depth to airiness and clarity, and that it steers where the vocal sits front to back in the mix.
Soften reduces harshness and sibilance. The maker says it shapes vocal tone ahead of problems rather than reacting to them, and keeps the life in the vocal.
Auto-Input Level holds a steady volume across phrases and sections. Sonnox says this replaces pre-FX automation and clip-gain adjustments, much as an experienced mixer would ride the level.
Voca runs as a plugin in these formats:
It works in Pro Tools 11 or above, plus any desktop host that supports AU (Mac) or VST3 plugins.
Voca belongs to the Sonnox Toolbox range, and each licence includes 2 activations. You need an iLok account. Each activation can authorise one machine, an iLok2 or iLok3 device with the latest drivers, or iLok Cloud, which needs an active internet connection.
Yes. The Voca Black Friday deal takes 74% off the Sonnox vocal plugin, bringing it to $29 until Dec 17, 2026.
Voca has four sections: Compression, Saturation, Soften and Auto-Input Level. Together they cover dynamics, tone and front-to-back placement, harshness and sibilance control, and a steady vocal level, all from one interface.
On macOS it comes as AAX Native, AU and VST3 (macOS 10.12 or later, Intel and M1). On Windows it is AAX Native and VST3 (Windows 10 or later). It runs in Pro Tools 11 or above and any AU or VST3 host.
Voca uses an iLok account. Each licence gives 2 activations, and each one can authorise a machine, an iLok2 or iLok3 device with current drivers, or iLok Cloud, which needs an active internet connection.
