Every one of these started as one sentence.

Plugins of the week

How it works

Three steps. No mixing, no code.

  1. The create page with a sentence typed in
    01

    Say it.

    Type what you want it to sound like. One sentence is enough. We build it while you watch.

  2. A finished plugin playing in the browser, before and after
    02

    Play it.

    Every knob works. Play it right in your browser, on our singer or your own vocal.

  3. A creator's store on a phone: play it, try it on your vocal
    03

    Sell it.

    Put it in your own store. Buyers try it right on the page, pick it up, and you get paid.

Made by people who already sell plugins.

Sidechain comes from VocalEssential. We make our own vocal plugins and show producers how to use them on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. We built the tool we wanted for ourselves.

Questions

Good questions.

No. Describe how it should sound and look in plain words. Change it the same way ("less reverb, darker plate"), or turn the knobs yourself.

You see it painted and hear it before you pay anything. Making it real starts with a free 3-day trial of any plan (Basic is $12 a month after it), or a $9 pack; Creator is $29 a month to make plugins and sell them.

About a minute to build. Then change anything by asking, or turn the knobs yourself.

Not yet. Right now plugins play and sell in the browser; the DAW version comes later.

Yes. Each new plugin is 10 credits: a $9 pack makes one, Creator makes 6 a month.

Yes. Every plugin plays right on your store page, on our singer or their own vocal.

The plugin, playable on your store page, and a license key in their Purchases. Right now it plays in the browser; the DAW version comes later.

Publish on Creator or Pro and connect payouts through Stripe (about five minutes). You can publish first: your share waits for you.

They stay yours. Your store goes offline when the plan ends, and comes back when you pick a plan again. Everyone who bought keeps what they bought.
