When working on vocal samples that have high re-verb and delay tails, are there any plugins or techniques that can be used to make the sample dry as possible?

Was about to post that hah. Maybe try some gating and volume automation, will be tedious but could help

Damn I didn't even know something like Zynaptiq UNVEIL existed... Shame I don't have $400. However I mite actually get away with gating if I spend some time on it. Thanks for the quick replies.

Is it anything you can rerecord? or track yourself? If its like a vocal stem for a remix i understand you couldnt but i know ppl who will just record someone else or themselves doing the vocals again.

Try making it fully mono. Depending on the vocal, if it wasn't doubled/tripled, the side channel information is all delay and reverb so you probably don't need that then. Most vocals ARE doubled though.

unveil literally takes 3 times more cpu than diva (80% cpu with one instance for me). they should serious sort the INSANE cpu hit before charging $400

Download the demo - it allows 20 minutes, long enough to bounce. It's a pretty good tool, but they're dreaming if they think they can charge 400! You can get most DAWs for less than that.

Buy a new computer, or don't use it. I'd rather have a tool that makes full use of a modern CPU to do a good job. This is one reason that we need faster computers, it opens up more possibilities.
