Ricky Montgomery Vocal Preset

The Ricky Montgomery Vocal Preset is a pre-configured vocal chain designed to give your voice the warm, indie-pop tone that Ricky Montgomery is known for. It blends clarity and presence with a natural, emotional feel, making your vocals sit perfectly in acoustic, indie, and pop-inspired mixes. Using only stock plugins, it helps you achieve a polished sound instantly without needing advanced mixing skills.

This preset works seamlessly with major DAWs like FL Studio, Logic Pro X, Ableton Live, Studio One, and Pro Tools. During checkout, you’ll choose your DAW, and the download you receive will be tailored to use that DAW’s stock plugins, so everything runs smoothly right out of the box.

It produces a clean, bright, and slightly vintage-tinged vocal tone. Expect smooth compression, warm EQ, and subtle reverb and delay that create a natural space around your voice. The preset makes your vocals sound heartfelt and upfront—perfect for singer-songwriter, indie pop, and soft rock tracks.

Yes, but it’s applied subtly. Unlike presets that aim for a robotic sound, this one uses gentle pitch correction to smooth out your vocals while keeping them natural and emotional—true to Ricky Montgomery’s organic style.

Definitely. While the preset comes ready to go, you can customize any of the settings to fit your own voice or creative style. Whether you want more reverb for a dreamy effect, tighter compression for a stronger pop presence, or warmer EQ for a softer feel, you’re free to tweak it.

No. This preset was built specifically with stock plugins only, meaning you don’t need to buy or install any additional VSTs. Everything you need is already inside your DAW, making it simple and cost-effective.

You don’t need an expensive studio setup to get great results. A good beginner or mid-range microphone like the Audio-Technica AT2020 or Rode NT1, paired with an interface like the Focusrite Scarlett, will give you clean recordings that this preset will polish into a professional-sounding mix.

After purchasing, you’ll get a ZIP file containing the preset and a step-by-step installation guide for your DAW. The process usually takes just a few minutes. Once installed, you can load the preset from your effects or channel menu, set the key for pitch correction, and start recording.

Not at all. While it’s inspired by Ricky Montgomery’s indie-pop aesthetic, the preset works beautifully for a variety of genres, including acoustic pop, folk, lo-fi, soft rock, and alternative. If your goal is smooth, heartfelt, and polished vocals that blend naturally with your music, this preset will deliver across styles.
