Open audio fileAUTOMATIC SETUP. HANDS-ON CONTROL.
A strong starting point.
Your finishing touch.
Publish Mode brings cleanup, tonal shaping, dynamics, de-essing and creative vocal effects into one plugin. Its adaptive tools respond to the incoming audio, while the controls let you shape the result for the recording.
Master AUTO helps with the initial setup; you then refine the tone, dynamics and character. The examples on this page were finished by The Bearded Beanie in REAPER using Publish Mode.
How this comparison was made
Before and After are new exports of the same vocal performance. The mixes and playback levels are preserved from the REAPER renders, with no additional processing for the website. All four clips are 31 seconds and use the same high-quality AAC encoding.
Vocal: “Dry Vocal Chops, Female” by f-r-a-g-i-l-e (CC0). Processing and Publish Mode by The Bearded Beanie. These examples use a development build; the downloadable beta may differ.
VOCAL SUITE / SINGING
Add space. Then add harmony.

How the Vocal Suite examples were made
The Bearded Beanie created and exported these versions in REAPER. One uses Delay and Reverb; the other adds Harmony. The website plays those finished mixes without further EQ, compression, effects or level changes.
The vocal source is Freesound’s publicly available MP3 preview, converted to 48 kHz for the project. All four listening files use the same AAC export quality. These examples use a development build; the downloadable beta may differ.
