What it does
------------
VocRide is a pitch-aware vocal harmonic EQ. It listens to the incoming vocal,
tracks the detected fundamental, and moves two EQ bands with the performance.

Instead of setting fixed EQ points by hand, you can shape the vocal around the
note that is actually being sung.

Features
--------
- pitch-aware vocal harmonic tracking;
- Fundamental gain control;
- Second Harmonic gain control;
- moving EQ bands that follow the detected vocal pitch;
- realtime analyzer and combined EQ curve display;
- bypass control;
- light and dark UI themes;
- audio pass-through outside the active harmonic shaping.

----------------
macOS Universal:
- VST3/VocRide.vst3
