With Rapchat’s extensive range of vocal effects, you can easily add professional-quality effects to your tracks. From curated presets to AI-generated custom effects, we offer everything you need to make your sound stand out. Here’s how to get started:

1. Explore the Vocal Preset Collections

With a diverse selection of preset collections, you can find just the right vibe for your music. Here’s an overview of our latest collections:

  • Singer: Smooth, melodic presets designed to enhance singing vocals.

  • Rapper: Tailored for rap vocals, focusing on clarity, punch, and style.

  • Ad Libs: Unique effects that help your ad-libs pop, adding emphasis and flair.

  • Funky: Quirky and playful presets that bring a fun, experimental edge to your vocals.

  • Reverb: A range of presets that add depth and atmosphere, perfect for creating a spacious sound.

  • Vocal Tune: Pitch correction options to suit various vocal styles, from subtle tuning to more intense effects.

  • Distortion: Edgy presets that add grit and texture, ideal for a more aggressive sound.

  • Clean: Minimalistic presets that keep vocals crisp and clear, without too much coloration.

  • Pitch Shift: Alter the pitch of your vocals for creative effects, from subtle shifts to dramatic transformations.

2. Use the AI Vocal FX Generator on iOS

Looking for something truly unique? The AI Vocal FX Generator lets you create custom presets just by describing the sound you want. For example, you can type phrases like:

  • “Spacey atmospheric vocals like Playboi Carti”

  • "Echoey Travis Scott sounding ad-libs"

  • “Crisp punch-in rap vocals like DaBaby”

The AI will then generate a custom effect that matches your description, giving you even more creative control.

3. Record Vocals While Monitoring the Preset

Recording with real-time monitoring lets you hear the effect on your vocals as you sing or rap. Use headphones and enable monitoring in the studio settings to get a feel for how the preset shapes your sound.

4. Customize Your Vocal Presets

With over 50 effects to tweak, you can tailor any preset to match your style. Open the Preset Settings by clicking the customize icon, and adjust parameters like Reverb, Delay, Distortion, and more. If you need to revert changes, use the undo/redo buttons for easy adjustments.

5. Experiment with Our Favorite Presets

Rapchat’s curated selection includes standout presets like:

  • The Sauce: Perfect for trap, R&B, and hip-hop, delivering a polished, wavy sound.

  • Soul Wave: Ideal for heartfelt, soulful tones, blending reverb, EQ, and subtle tuning.

  • Drillmaster: Aggressive and punchy, designed for Drill music and heavy beats.

6. Save, Share, and Favorite Your Custom Presets

After creating or modifying a preset, hit “Save as” to give it a name and optional cover art. You can also share your presets or add them to your “Favorites” collection for easy access later.

With these tools and collections at your fingertips, you can shape your vocals to match any genre, mood, or creative vision. Enjoy the process of experimenting and customizing your sound on Rapchat!
