Little Labs® Voice Of God
Bass Resonance Tool
-
Tune the low end of your mix for incredible
detail and punch.
For many top mix engineers, the Little Labs Voice Of God is the ultimate bass resonance tool. This unique 500 series module allows you to intuitively shape the all-important low frequencies of your mix, as well as add depth and “oomph” to vocals and other sources.
Authenticated by Little Labs, the Voice Of God Bass Resonance plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces perfectly models this unique processor, making it a go-to tool in the hands of multi-Platinum mixers like Joe Zook (Katy Perry, The Hives) and Joe Chiccarelli (Beck, The Killers).Now You Can:
Easily add size and weight to any source
Make your mixes’ low-end leaner, tighter, and punchier
Craft bass frequencies on drums, bass, and more, far beyond simple EQing
Add chest resonance and “heft” to vocals
A Little History
Little Labs has a knack for creating problem-solving tools for the studio that perform equally well as creative ones. Upon its introduction in 2009, owners of the hardware VOG quickly realized multiple units are a must have — one for bass, kick drum, toms, low frequency percussion, and especially vocals. Fortunately, with the UAD Little Labs VOG plug-in, customers can have as many instances as they need to make “the low end” come to life.
Two Simple Controls
With just two knobs, you can dial in the VOG’s desired frequency and effect amplitude. The center of the sweepable frequency range is selected via two push-buttons of 40 Hz and 100 Hz, or you can set the center to 200 Hz by pressing both buttons simultaneously. Everything below the targeted frequency peak is rolled off in a smooth curve — up to –24 dB per octave — ensuring tight low end, while the frequencies above remain intact.
In VOG We Trust
The VOG plug-in is perfect for mixing, mastering, post-production sweetening, sound design, and audio restoration. Use it to easily simulate proximity effect for adding chest resonance and “heft” to vocals. Simple adjustments can yield enormous sounding drums, or completely transform the tonal characteristics of an electric bass. The VOG’s flexibility makes it the right choice on a wide range of musical sources and it’s the perfect way to tune the low end of any mix for incredible detail and punch.
5-Minute UAD Tip
In this video, learn how to use the UAD Little Labs Voice Of God plug-in to enhance an 808 bass part as well as beef up a thin-sounding kick drum track.
“Ok, I'm not happy! Once again, you've matched the hardware version I already own.”
– Michael Brauer (The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, My Morning Jacket)
“The Little Labs® Voice Of God plug-in has become a favorite. It’s great for unusual bass-drum sounds or putting a weird little sub-harmonic frequency on an instrument. ”
– Joe Chiccarelli (Jason Mraz, Beck, The Strokes, Morrissey)
“With the UAD Voice of God, it’s so easy to find the exactly part of the bottom end where you want the kick and bass to meet.”
– Ross Hogarth (Van Halen, Ziggy Marley, Motley Crue)
“Everything Jonathan Little creates solves a problem you didn't know you had, and the VOG is no exception. There's nothing else quite like it.”
– Andrew Scheps (Adele, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Duke Spirit)
“The UAD Little Labs VOG can do things that no other plug-in can. The natural warmth and depth can be heard on everything from drums and percussion, to lack luster dialog and paper thin vocals.”

Plug in of the Gods!
I had a feeling that this "less glamorous" plug in would knock my socks off. I was right! If you're like me and sometimes struggle with getting the right blend of bottom end in your mixes, this is your ticket. Thank you Little Labs, thank you UA for this gem. This plug in kicks @$$!

If Thor owned a Swiss Army Knife...
...this would be it! I can't even begin to describe how intuitive and fun it was to use this plugin. Technically speaking it does everything it boasts and more. I was able to find the head voice of a male actor in a webseries I'm working on as the re-recording mixer and I was so upset that I didn't find out about this awesome tool before the pilot episode was released. Don't be fooled by the seemingly simple look of this tool as simplicity sometimes can make for a better understanding of what you're trying to achieve sonically. You need this plug in, if you do anything that involves vocals.

Very useful for saving or "oomphing up" mixes
One of my most used plugs, this is certainly very useful.
I initially found the way to adjust the settings on this is kind of unintuitive, as the whole turning the wheel-kinda-experience is quite fiddly. It needs a little getting used to, as does using the buttons to determine the center-frequency.
Other than that, this is an enormously helpful plugin, as you can easily repair, boost or sharpen problematic or "not-totally-there-yet" bass-regions of all types of Instruments. I also applied this succesfully on the 2-bus. Doesn't always work there, but when it does it makes things right. It can sometimes be too narrow-banded on basses playing wider range of notes. Using specific instances of this with different center freqs helped solving thisS. Kurtenbach
POWERFUL!
this one is really able to rescue a thin bassdrum or snare! really easy to handle and effective on anything needing more power in the low mids or bass!
i often double the bass-drum track, dropping in some 40hz with the VOG..... it only takes you a few clicks to get that super-thick subkick-sound out of almost any track!
awesome!!!H. Bjornsson

VOG plug-in
I was actually a bit surprised by the change and the quality of sound. Basically, it's a one band eq, but the richness of sound was astonishing to me. As a bass player, I'm always looking for ways to make my recorded bass sound better. This is definitely a great tool for my arsenal.
R. Legault
Simple and effective
It could also be done with a good parametric EQ (the UAD Cambridge comes to mind because it can be so surgical) but the VOG is so wonderfully simple, effective and most importantly great sounding that it's quickly becoming a favorite to add oomph!
A. Smith
THE NAME SAYS IT ALL
This is like the bass frequency army knife, sure you could come close tweeking for hours with an eq to get a similar result, but this plugin gets right to the point. And it does it extremly effectively. I was surprissed on the use I get out of this on vocals as well. One of the best plugins I've purchased so far. GET it!!!

Awesome Little Labs® Voice Of God Bass Resonance Tool
Little Labs® Voice Of God Bass Resonance Tool is a true low-over head kind of tool for the bass sound. I'm glad to have this plug-in for bass track. It is excellent engineering concept to dig in the mix to get the sound I want for the bass line. Thanks to its creator.
T. Elsilä
Absolutely perfect tool for EDM, does the effect others like logic audio sub-bass never did
M. Wangerin
I can't tell you how much I LOVE this. I'm a voice over artist with a deep, resonant baritone voice and the VOG puts the spotlight on what defines me the most. The genius of this unit is that it doesn't create anything that isn't already there. It allows you to put a microscope to those target frequencies and gently highlights them without hype. This is the real deal!
R. Rodriguez
Exactly as advertised by UA, a "magnifying glass" for everything in the low end family that resides in your mix. Fatten it up or get it just right without affecting any frequencies you may not want to be affected in any way. Two Thumbs up, could not live without this now that I own this handy little tool.
M. Fernandez
It's just awesome!! I can believe how musical it is!! I love it over my kick drums !! You can't go wrong with it!!

Very cool! Does a great job cleaning up the bass in amateur / poor quality home recordings that are brought to us for mastering.

Little Labs VOG is an amazing little piece of software that packs a massive punch. I use it to fatten up vocals as well as bass lines. Don't be fool by the price this little monster is incredible........ Mike Dunn
O. Torres
sick! getting amazing results with this for mixing deep house and techno. solid for getting the bottom end on kicks and bass lines to rock the club PA, the right way and without the "mud". love it!!
G. Starr
VOG has become my final plug on the vocal buss on just about everything. It''s subtle warmth really adds body to any vocal track. Also great for other soloing instruments.
M. Hensley
This thing is amazing.
Using it on a movie for dialog.
WOW. My dialog sounds better, with less processing.J. Piccione
The VOG is awesome! Able to reach into a drum track that we used a drum machine on. I was able to fatten the bottom end of the track and give it some tone shaping beyond the capability of EQ. It is a wonderful tool, glad I own it.
