Capoxxo Vocal Preset Direct
A compressor is applied to glue the vocal together. Capoxxo presets often use an 1176-style compressor for fast, aggressive gain reduction, followed by a slower optical-style compressor to smooth out the remaining dynamics.

The Cons of Buying:
Our Verdict: Buy a preset pack if you are lazy or need a starting point. But modify it. Turn the reverb down if your beat is fast. Turn the pitch shift up if you sound too masculine.
Chain order & settings:
Formant Shifter (Little AlterBoy)
OTT
Chorus / Doubler
Reverb (Valhalla Supermassive)
Delay (EchoBoy or stock)
Soft clipper (on master bus) for blown-out vibe
The chain almost always starts with Antares Auto-Tune (or ReaTune/Waves Tune). The retune speed is set aggressively fast (0-10ms) to force the robotic, sliding effect synonymous with the genre. The key and scale are usually set to a minor key to fit the melancholic instrumentals. capoxxo vocal preset
