Ordinary Riser

Put it on a vocal, press play, and drag a riser into your session that swells exactly into the first word. No routing, no bouncing, no reversing by hand.

Listen

Hear the lift.

Flip between the dry vocal and the same take with its riser.

How it works

Three steps. Zero routing.

CAPTURE
Listening

01

Play your vocal

Ordinary Riser listens while your DAW plays and renders the moment you stop. Turn CAPTURE off to keep the one you like.

02

Pick a character

Step through Reverse, Swell, Shimmer and Freeze right on the ring. Set the length from a quarter bar to four bars — it follows your tempo.

03

Hear it, then drag it

LISTEN plays the riser straight into your vocal. Like it? Drag the clip in — its right edge is where the vocal starts, so it lands on time.

Four characters

One vocal. Four ways up.

Every mode tints the whole plugin, so you always know what you’re hearing at a glance.

Reverse

The classic, done right.

A reverse reverb built from the first vowel of your line, swelling straight into the word. Sibilance is tamed before it ever hits the tail.

Details

The work you used to do by hand.

“s” detected

Hears the “s” before you do

Sibilance is detected and softened before it reaches the tail, so the riser never hisses into the word.

−3.0dB

Under the vocal

Sits at the right level

Matched to your vocal’s loudness, then set where you want it with LEVEL.

ListenLoopVocal
Riser+ your vocal

Hear it land before you drag

LISTEN plays the riser, and with VOCAL on it runs straight into the first two seconds of your take. LOOP keeps it going while you tweak.
