For years, I've been stacking 10-13 plugins on my worship vocals to get the sound I want. It's complicated, time-consuming, and honestly, a bit ridiculous.

So when Neural DSP claimed their new Mantra plugin could replace my ENTIRE vocal chain, I was skeptical.

Could one plugin really replace my carefully crafted stack of:

• Noise reduction
• Multiple EQs
• Compression
• De-essing
• Saturation
• Effects

I decided to put it to the ultimate test: real-world worship vocals from both live recordings and overdubs.

What happened next genuinely surprised me...

The "Wait...Did I Just Say That?" Moment

In the video, you'll hear me say something I never expected:

"I don't want to say this on camera, but I might like it better. Oh my gosh!"

That wasn't planned or scripted - it was my genuine reaction when comparing Mantra to my usual vocal chain.

The plugin somehow achieved:

• Better presence in the high-mids
• More clarity without harshness
• Better overall integration in the mix

And it took me just 10 minutes to dial in.

The Feature That's Worth The Price Alone

There's one aspect of Mantra that completely blew me away - something I demonstrate in detail in the video.

By duplicating the track and tweaking one setting, I created a beautifully wide vocal sound that would typically require multiple plugins and careful configuration.

This technique alone could transform your worship vocal mixes, and I walk through exactly how to do it step-by-step.
