Sound familiar?
The problem.
It sounds like a demo
Boomy room, levels all over the place, harsh S sounds. You can hear it was recorded in a bedroom.
Ten plugins to fix it
EQ, compressor, de-esser, tuner, reverb, delay... and years to learn how they work together.
Your hooks fall flat
The artists you love stack octaves, doubles and wobble on every hook. Yours sits there dry.
VocalSauce does all of it in one window: a MIX side that makes the vocal sound professional, and an FX side for the creative stuff, each with its own volume.
Hear it before you buy

Hit Play, then switch versions while it plays.

What it fixes
Problem in. Solved.
TUNE
Pick your song key. Around 25% sounds natural, 50% is the instant robot. A live readout shows what you sang and where it went.
CLEAN
Listens to your voice and pulls it toward a pro vocal curve. Low / High voice settings.
COMP
1176-style punch into LA-2A-style smoothness. Pick Rap, R&B, Rock or Ballad.
DE-ESS
Only touches the esses, never the vowels. Male and female settings.
AIR
That expensive-mic sparkle without the hiss.
SPACE
Room or plate reverb plus a tempo-synced echo that ducks under your words.
FX for your hooks
Formant (deeper or brighter), Octave up or down, Chorus / Double / Flanger and Grit (Tape, Fuzz, Radio). One knob each.
Vocal and FX, separately
The FX run on their own bus: set the vocal level, the FX level, solo the FX, and an FX EQ keeps your words in front.
Your chain, your order
Drag the moves into any order. A sweet-spot meter with AUTO sets your input level, and a built-in limiter finishes the loudness.
Presets
How it works
Three steps. That's it.
Made for artists who record themselves and want a finished, radio-ready vocal without learning to mix.
Drop it on your vocal
Hit AUTO and sing. It sets your level into the sweet spot.
Pick a preset
Natural Pop for a clean pop vocal, Rap Vox, Airy R&B, Hard Tune...
Season to taste
Turn on FX for the hook. Balance the vocal and FX with two faders.
Who made this
Built by an artist and producer.
I'm Sungwoo. I've been making music for over a decade. I produced for pH-1 on his debut with a major Korean label, performed at KCON three times and been featured on Korean national TV.
Every artist I work with records at home, and every one of them hits the same wall: the vocal never sounds like the record. So I put the chain I actually use, plus the FX I reach for on hooks, into one plugin.
Home vocals that sound like a record: a full vocal chain plus hook FX, one knob per move.
One plugin. One price.

Questions
Asked & answered.
Will it work in my DAW?
Yes. VocalSauce ships as VST3 and AU, so it runs in Logic, Ableton, FL Studio, Studio One, Reaper, GarageBand and any DAW that loads those formats. Pro Tools (AAX) isn't supported yet.
Mac or Windows?
Both. Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel, AU + VST3) and Windows 10/11 64-bit (VST3). One purchase covers both.
Do I need to know music theory or mixing?
No. That's the whole point. Everything is built so you can get a great result fast, then tweak if you want to.
How do I install and unlock it?
Right after checkout you get an email with the download and your license key. Run the installer, put VocalSauce on an audio track as an effect, click Unlock and paste your key. After that it works offline.
How many computers can I use it on?
Your key unlocks up to 3 computers.
Is it a subscription?
Never. One payment, yours to keep, with free updates.
What if it's not for me?
30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Put it on a real beat, and if it doesn't earn its spot, email sungwoo@heysungwoo.com for a full refund.
Windows says "Windows protected your PC". Is it safe?
