Field notes

Panoramica

MixWave: Spiritbox - Courtney LaPlante is a modular vocal plugin built with the Spiritbox vocalist, capturing the processing behind her recorded vocals in one window. It gathers seven freely rearrangeable modules, Pitch, Distortion, Compression, Modulation, Reverb, Delay and Line Amplifier, with console-inspired EQ and compression on the input and output. The Pitch module uses a proprietary pitch and formant engine with separate tracking and mixing latency modes, and the whole chain offers oversampling up to eight times.

It launched at an introductory $79 against a $139 regular price, in VST3, AU and AAX for macOS 26 and Windows 11, with a 14-day free trial. The nearest alternatives are Bogren A-Class Vocal, another heavy-leaning vocal chain, and iZotope Nectar 4, a broader assistant-driven vocal suite.

Quick reference

FAQ

How much does the MixWave Spiritbox plugin cost?

It launched at an introductory $79 against a $139 regular price, as a one-time purchase. A 14-day free trial lets you test it on your own vocals first.

Do you need iLok hardware?

No. It needs a free iLok account and the iLok License Manager, but its two activations can run on iLok Cloud or a machine authorization, so a physical iLok USB is optional.

Can you rearrange the chain?

Yes. All seven modules can be freely reordered, so you decide the processing order, for example whether distortion hits before or after compression.

What systems does it support?

VST3, AU and AAX on macOS 26 and Windows 11, 64-bit only.
