CHAPTER 29
Little Labs VOG
Bass Resonance Processor
For many top engineers, the Little Labs VOG (Voice Of God) is the ultimate
bass resonance tool for mixing. Available for the first time as a plug-in, the Lit-
tle Labs-authenticated VOG for the UAD-2 platform accurately models the
sonic characteristics of this unique 500-series hardware audio processor in
every detail. The VOG is used to accurately target and accentuate low fre-
quency material, from vocals to bass guitar and drums — adding both heft
and precision beyond a simple EQ. Put simply, it’s like a magnifying glass for
the bottom end of your mixes.
One of the most important components of any good mix is blending the low
frequencies together in such a way that they don’t conflict. No matter what
style of music you make – from rock to reggae, to hip-hop to hardcore – few
tools are as easy to use and effective as the popular Little Labs VOG.
History Little Labs has a knack for creating problem-solving tools for the studio that
perform equally well as creative coloration effects and tone-boxes. The origi-
nal collaboration between UA and Little Labs saw the release of the UAD Little
Labs IBP plug-in — widely recognized as one of the most versatile phase cor-
rection plug-ins available today. Continued collaboration between Universal
Audio and Little Labs now provides another instant studio classic, the VOG.
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 Little Labs VOG
plug-in for the UAD-2, customers can have as many instances as they need to
make “the low end” come to life.
