Can I use these presets on instruments or just vocals?

While the Shoegaze presets are optimized for vocals, some producers use them creatively on ambient guitars, pads, and synths to add dreamy textures. However, for best results, they’re designed with vocal frequencies and dynamics in mind.

How do I install the Shoegaze vocal presets?

What kind of vocal sound can I expect with these presets?

These presets give you washed-out, reverb-drenched vocals with smooth EQ and subtle modulation effects. Think My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, and modern dream pop tones—hazy, emotional, and immersive.

Can I tweak the presets to better fit my voice or mix?

Yes! Each preset is fully editable. You can fine-tune EQ, reverb levels, delay timing, compression, and more to tailor the sound to your unique vocal style or the vibe of your track.

Do the Shoegaze presets work well for Dream Pop or Ambient genres too?

Definitely. These presets are versatile enough for adjacent genres like Dream Pop, Ambient Pop, Post-Rock, and even Lo-fi. Any sound that benefits from lush vocal textures will feel right at home.
