For Singers & Songwriters

You wrote the song. You sang the take. Let the ghost mix it.

GhostInTheMachine listens to what you recorded at your own desk — voice, guitar, whatever you tracked — and builds a complete, professional-sounding chain for you. No mixing background, no manuals, no plugin chains to learn.

One-time purchase. No subscription. Or try every feature free for 14 days — no account, no card.

GhostMode panel analyzing a captured vocal take and prescribing a chain

Made For The Bedroom Studio

You don't need a mixing degree.

Every card below is a real, shipped feature — not a marketing promise.

“I don't know where to start”

GhostMode builds the chain

Capture your take, hit Analyze, and the ghost prescribes a complete chain tuned to what it hears — EQ, dynamics, space, all of it. You get one knob.

“My vocal sounds muddy or harsh”

Mixing moods, built in

Moods like De-Harsh, Presence, Air, Intimate and Glue exist for exactly this — dial in what your voice needs without knowing what a de-esser is.

“I'm not always in tune”

Auto Pitch finds your key

Auto Pitch's Auto Key listens to your take, works out the song's key and scale, and tunes to it automatically — no music theory required.

“There's hiss, hum or room noise”

Noise Gate cleans it up

A detector fusing peak, RMS and transient-flux gates the noise between phrases without chewing into your voice. See Noise Gate →

“I don't know how loud it should be”

Limiter with a loudness target

Set a streaming LUFS target and the true-peak ceiling gets you there — Punch Preserve keeps it from flattening your transients into paste.

“I already recorded it elsewhere”

Import and analyze any file

Drop in a take you tracked on your phone or in another DAW — the Import pill reads up to six minutes and analyzes it exactly like a live capture.

Built For A Voice

Pitch-correct without touching a key signature.

Auto Pitch doesn't ask what key you're in — it listens and figures it out, then keeps your take honest to the scale it just detected.

  • Auto Key: detects the song's key and scale live from what you're playing or singing.
  • Formant-aware: correction that doesn't chipmunk your voice on big moves.
  • As subtle or as obvious as you want: from a light safety net to a fully quantized effect.

The AI Layer

It knows the difference between a ballad and a banger.

Flip on the optional AI layer and Analyze consults a model that listens for genre, understands plain English, and checks its own work before handing you a chain.

  • Genre-aware: recognizes when a take is heading toward Acoustic/Folk, Pop, Rock, Hip-Hop and more — with or without you typing a word.
  • Speaks plain English: type what you'd tell a real engineer — “warm, intimate, radio-ready vocal” — instead of parameter names.
  • Verify-and-refine: the plugin renders the AI's chain before it ever reaches you and keeps refining until it's noticeably processed and clean. A chain that clips more than 1% of samples is never published to your session.
  • Privacy-first: by default only a compact fingerprint of your capture is sent — never the actual audio of a song you haven't released yet.

The Loop

Record. Analyze. Done.

  1. Record or import

    Capture a take live, or drop in a file you already recorded — vocal, guitar, whatever you tracked. The Import pill reads up to six minutes.

  2. Hit Analyze

    The ghost listens and prescribes a complete chain in your chosen mood, or let the AI layer take over for a genre-aware, verified pass.

  3. Turn one knob

    Intensity scales the whole prescription from a light touch to fully finished. Your macros stay live on top if you want to add your own stamp.

  4. Bounce it

    No plugin chains to learn, no manuals to read. Just a song that sounds finished.

No Studio Budget Required

Everything but AI Analyze is free, forever.

The full modular rack, all 38 modules, and GhostMode's offline analysis — no AI, no credits, no account — are yours with the license, permanently. The AI layer is a switch, not a wall: turn it on for the deeper pass, or stay offline and pay nothing extra.

  • Offline analysis is free forever — all 83 moods, full capture analysis, no network.
  • 14-day free trial: every feature unlocked, no account or card needed.
  • One-time purchase: no subscription, ever.
