Four Macro Knobs
Dark and Shine are a Baxandall tone stack: a 240 Hz low shelf and a 5 kHz air shelf, flat at centre. Squeeze rides compressor threshold, ratio and makeup at once. Output sets the level.
Every part of a vocal chain mapped onto four knobs and three pads. Gate, de-esser, compressor, tone, doubler, space, echo, and a true-peak limiter on the end. Run the standalone and sing straight through it, no DAW needed.

Ensemble, Space and Echo. Drag up for more of the effect, sideways to change its character: voice count and drift, reverb decay and damping, echo time and feedback.
The gate is a downward expander with hysteresis, and Range takes it from a gentle floor to a hard cut. A live graph shows what it removed. The de-esser only touches the band between its two crossovers, so the rest of the voice stays put.
Oversampled detection with 16-sample lookahead and a noise-shaped 4× clipper, so peaks between samples get caught too. 0.013% THD at 6 dB of reduction, for 27 samples of latency (0.56 ms at 48 kHz).
Pick your mic and an output device and sing straight through it. Send the output to a virtual audio device and OBS or Discord hears the finished voice.
Default, Smooth, Subtle and Spacey, Weirded Out, and Wet Karaoke, baked into the plugin. The list shows which one you're on.
