Ordinary Riser

Put it on a vocal, press play, and drag a riser into your session that swells exactly into the first word. No routing, no bouncing, no reversing by hand.

Hear the lift.

Flip between the dry vocal and the same take with its riser.

How it works

Three steps. Zero routing.

CAPTURE
Listening

01

Play your vocal

Ordinary Riser listens while your DAW plays and renders the moment you stop. Turn CAPTURE off to keep the one you like.

02

Pick a character

Reverse, Swell, Shimmer or Freeze. Set the length from a quarter bar to four bars — it follows your tempo.

03

Drag it into your session

The clip ends exactly where your vocal starts. Line up its right edge with the vocal and it lands on time.

Four characters

One vocal. Four ways up.

Every mode tints the whole plugin, so you always know what you’re hearing at a glance.

Reverse

The classic, done right.

A reverse reverb built from the first vowel of your line, swelling straight into the word. Sibilance is tamed before it ever hits the tail.

Details

The work you used to do by hand.

“s” detected

Hears the “s” before you do

Sibilance is detected and softened before it reaches the tail, so the riser never hisses into the word.

−3.0dB

Under the vocal

Sits at the right level

Matched to your vocal’s loudness, then set where you want it with LEVEL.
