One vocal · One chain

Hear the chain
plugin by plugin.

This is a real vocal running the exact 13-insert RysUp chain we’d use in a session — same order you’d stack it in your DAW. Power the inserts on one by one and hear the vocal come together, then drop the finished chain on the beat.

  • Each insert feeds the next — powering one on wakes everything before it.
  • Playback never restarts. Toggle mid-line and A/B it like a session.
  • No loudness tricks — every bounce is the same take, same level path.

Finish the entire vocal chain

One plugin solves one stage.
A vocal preset connects the full chain.

Use this plugin when you want focused control over one mix job. When you need a DAW ready starting chain for tuning, cleanup, dynamics, tone, and space, compare the vocal presets built for your recording software.

The industry secret

Your favorite plugins.
A fraction of the price.

Named mix and mastering tools can cost more outright, live in bigger subscription catalogs, or depend on vendor account managers. RysUp keeps the finish chain focused: one plugin, one simple license key, and the Suite option when you want the whole catalog.

From the build log

What we actually check before shipping.

Practical notes from the Rys Up workflow so this page gives more than a generic plugin description.

01

One shared vocal timeline

The lead and every participating take are measured on the DAW timeline before alignment, so the result stays positioned where the performance started.

02

A played-range capture you can inspect

Capture records only while the transport plays and shows signal status for every connected track before the run starts. ARA integration remains host and version specific and is not part of the initial public compatibility promise.

03

Print only when you choose

Capture playback stays inside each track insert until you use Bounce in Place or the DAW print workflow. The source regions are never silently overwritten.

The alignment, made visible

See the stack. Decide what moves.

Read every vocal on one timeline, assign the right guide and set global, track or clip controls. Keep the musical movement you want; change only the parts that need it.

See what moved

See what moved

The editable stack keeps every vocal on one timeline. Choose a primary guide or a different guide for a track or clip. Drag a clip range for a local override, exclude a selection, then open Edit details to compare waveforms, protect spans or add Sync points.

Tight where it counts. Human where it matters.

Tight where it counts. Human where it matters.

Timing and Pitch set alignment strength for all vocals, this track or this clip. Advanced controls fit vibrato and level, transpose pitch, shift formants, preserve harmony intervals and protect consonants. Local overrides inherit the session until you change them.

Built different

Small team. Real humans. Shipping daily.

The big plugin brands take years between updates. We ship improvements every day — because we're small, fast, AI-accelerated, and actually listening to the people using our plugins.

We iterate faster than anyone

Leading AI in our dev workflow means we ship new features, new plugins, and bug fixes on a near-daily cadence. Waves took 20 years to update their EQ. We update every week.

You ask, we build

Tell us what you want in the plugin and we'll build it. Suite subscribers get direct access to the dev team — submit feature requests and see them shipped, usually within the week.

Here to disrupt, not extract

No iLok dongles. No paid "upgrade plans." No sales teams taking a cut. We skip the middlemen and price our plugins at what they're actually worth. Pro-grade DSP at indie prices.

Got feedback? Send it our way — we read every message, and we ship what the community asks for.

Built for pro records

Bring the whole vocal stack onto one editable timeline. Choose your guides, align timing and pitch, then shape the whole session, one track or one clip without flattening harmonies and consonants. Link an edited RysUpPitch guide when your lead needs to set the standard.

Questions, answered

Everything you need to know.

What does RysUpAlign align?
Doubles, backing vocals, harmonies and vocal stacks against a guide. In Capture mode, put RysUpAlign on each participating vocal and capture the played range together. Choose the primary guide in the workspace, or assign another guide to a track or clip. Timing and pitch each have a separate 0 to 100 percent amount.
How does it get audio from my DAW?
Capture records the range that plays through each participating insert and places the tracks on a shared DAW timeline. The same plugin uses ARA when the host actually binds it, and Capture otherwise. ARA support is host and version specific; a format being available does not guarantee ARA in every DAW.
Why does Logic show Capture instead of ARA on Apple Silicon?
Logic does not always bind the ARA extension, and Apple documents Rosetta requirements for third-party ARA on Apple Silicon. Do not assume ARA from the AU format alone. Use Capture in native Logic: arm it from the lead instance, play the exact range once with input monitoring off, then stop and align.
Does Capture record the whole track automatically?
No. Capture records only while the DAW transport is playing. Play the exact verse, hook or full-song range you want to align. The interface shows each connected track and how much signal it captured before Align becomes available.
Can it preserve harmonies and consonants?
Yes. Preserve Harmonies keeps changing intervals instead of dragging every backing vocal onto the lead melody. Protect Consonants reduces edits around sharp vocal attacks, and protected spans let you mark any phrase that should stay untouched.
What are the advanced controls?
Vibrato can follow guide movement, Level can match the guide envelope, Transpose shifts pitch by up to 24 semitones in either direction, and Formant shifts vocal character by up to 12 semitones. Set them for all vocals, one track or a selected clip; they start neutral.
Can I edit just one phrase without changing the whole stack?
Yes. Select clip and drag a range on its vocal lane, then choose This clip for independent controls and guide assignment. This track applies overrides across that vocal. All vocals changes the global settings. Inherit removes local overrides so the selection follows its parent settings again.
How does the RysUpPitch guide link work?
In RysUpPitch 1.1.0 or later, enable Link guide to Align in Export. In RysUpAlign, choose Link Pitch guide and select that published vocal. The link uses the actual locally rendered edited audio, not just a note display. New published edits refresh the guide and require alignment again. Both plugins must be installed on the same computer; no audio is uploaded.
Does it replace my DAW regions?
No. Capture mode plays the accepted alignment through each track insert without changing the source regions. Use Bounce in Place or your DAW's print workflow when you want permanent replacement regions.
Which formats and systems does it run on?
RysUpAlign 2.0.1 ships universal AU, VST3 and AAX for macOS 11 or later, plus 64-bit VST3 and AAX for Windows. RysUpHub 1.0.78 or later handles installation, activation and updates. Host-specific ARA availability is separate from plugin-format support.
Is it included in the Suite?
Yes. An active Suite subscription and the $249 perpetual Suite both include RysUpAlign, along with every paid plugin released while your access is active.
What if I run into a problem?
RysUpAlign is covered by the Rys Up Audio 30-day fix-it guarantee. Send the session details through https://rysupaudio.com/pages/contact-us and we will work through the available fix or refund path.
