# PEARL VOX — cross-DAW recipe

The chain is the macro. Values not brand. If your DAW can't load the plugin,
rebuild this signal flow with any stock EQ / comp / gate / verb / delay.

Signal flow (in order):

1. **Low cut (HPF)** — 90 Hz, 12 dB/oct. Cleans proximity mud.
2. **Gate** — gentle downward, threshold ~ -40 dB, fast attack, ~120 ms release.
   Just tames room tail between phrases; not a hard chop.
3. **Compressor** — threshold ~ -14 dB, ratio ~3.5:1, attack 3 ms, release 120 ms,
   ~8 dB makeup. Level and forward.
4. **De-esser** — band above 5.5 kHz, threshold low, up to ~6 dB reduction on
   sibilance only. Fast attack (0.8 ms), 40 ms release.
5. **Presence bell** — +3 dB at 4.2 kHz, Q ~0.9. Intelligibility.
6. **Air shelf** — +3.5 dB high shelf from 11 kHz. Sheen.
7. **Reverb** — plate, room 0.62, damping 0.45, wet ~18%. Send/parallel is fine.
8. **Delay** — 320 ms, feedback 30%, wet ~15%. Stereo.
9. **Output** — 0 dB (trim to taste).

The PearlVox plugin ships every one of these as one macro with the same defaults —
turn `Engage` off to A/B against dry. Everything is a knob, so tune per song.
