Neural DSP Mantra: All‑in‑One Vocal Production Plugin


Neural DSP has introduced Mantra, its first dedicated vocal production plugin, delivering a complete vocal studio in one streamlined interface.

Core Features

  • All‑in‑one signal chain: Includes pitch correction, noise filtering, de‑esser, dual compressors, saturation, harmonies, EQ, delays, reverbs, chorus/flanger/phaser, and a doubler.
  • Tracking vs Mixing modes: Low-latency “Tracking” mode for performance recording; full-resolution “Mixing” mode for production.
  • Sculpt module: Real-time tonal enhancement that shapes vocal clarity and presence.
  • Saturation options: Choose from Tape, Tube, and Digital. Compressors offer Tube, Stress, and Multi modes.
  • Time-based effects: Includes multiple delays (Analog, Tape, Stereo, Dual) with ducking, three reverbs (Hall, Plate, Ambience), and modulation tools.

Workflow & Interface

Mantra’s layout emphasizes simplicity and speed. Each module provides intuitive controls with context-sensitive depth for users who want to fine-tune. The streamlined design supports efficient tracking and mix decisions without overwhelming the screen.

Technical Specs & Pricing

  • Plugin Formats: VST, AU, and AAX
  • Platform Support: macOS 13+ and Windows 10+
  • Price: $199 / €199
  • Free Trial: 14-day demo available
