A Few Words About the THROAT 
Factory Presets
Unlike synth presets, which will always sound 
the same for all users, the THROAT presets 
are heavily dependent on the vocal tracks that 
you use them on. Consequently, they serve 
primarily as starting points for various general 
effects, with the expectation that you will 
tweak them to work best with your particular 
audio.
Specifically, they all contain the default settings 
for Vocal Range and Source Glottal Waveform 
controls. After calling up a...

Chapter 4: DUO Vocal Modeling  
Auto-Doubler
T
he DUO Vocal Modeling Auto-Doubler 
automatically generates a doubled vocal 
part from any existing monophonic vocal. 
Unlike conventional doublers that simply 
apply pitch and delay variation to the original 
part, DUO makes use of Antares’ unique vocal 
modeling and vibrato processing technologies 
to create a doubled part that actually sounds 
like another singer. There is no easier or quicker 
way to create a realistic doubled vocal part.

Although the exact effect of any setting 
will depend a good deal on the vocal being 
processed, in general:
•  Selecting a positive value will result in a lengthening of the vocal tract and hence an 
older/darker/more male vocal quality.
•  Selecting a negative value will result in a  shortening of the vocal tract and hence a 
younger/brighter/more female vocal quality.
Command (Mac)/Control (PC) click the control 
to reset it to its default value of 0.

spectrum. This control only functions in Stereo

Command (Mac)/Control (PC) click the control 
to reset it to its default value of 100 (far right).
Usage Tips
•  DUO is available in mono and stereo versions and, depending on the capabilities 
of your host program, a mono -> stereo 
version (which in most cases is the 
preferred routing). In the case of the stereo 
version, DUO processes only the left...

Chapter 5: CHOIR Vocal Multiplier
C
HOIR is a unique processor that turns a 
single monophonic voice into 4, 8, 16, 
or 32 distinct individual unison voices, 
each with its own pitch, timing and 
vibrato variations. The voices can, if desired, 
be spread across the stereo spectrum. When 
multiple instances of CHOIR are assigned 
to individual harmony parts, the result is an 
amazingly realistic large vocal ensemble.

Enhancer
P
UNCH is a processor that is designed 
to optimize the level of a vocal track 
to allow it to cut through a dense mix 
with power and clarity. It provides a 
combination of compression, gain, limiting, 
and overload protection with a user interface 
designed for speed and simplicity.

•  PUNCH is available in mono and stereo versions.
•  Since the point of PUNCH is to optimize  the impact of your vocal track in the mix, 
it makes sense to set the controls while 
listening to the track in the...
