Neural DSP Mantra

The Deal: €129 Off Neural DSP’s First Vocal Plugin

Let’s talk numbers first, because this is the part that matters: Neural DSP Mantra normally sells for €189. Right now it’s €59.99 — a full 68% off, saving you €129.

What does €59.99 buy you? A plugin that replaces roughly €800+ worth of separate vocal tools. A quality pitch corrector alone often costs more than this deal price. Add a character compressor, a saturation unit, a harmonizer, a delay, a reverb, and a doubler — bought individually, you’re looking at several hundred euros. Mantra puts all of it in one plugin, in one purchase.

SKU: NEURALDSP-MANTRA. Category: Mix & Master Plugins. Brand: Neural DSP.

What You’re Actually Getting

Mantra (launched July 2025, now v1.1.0) is Neural DSP’s first plugin built specifically for vocal production — “all the essential tools for modern vocal production in one plugin.” Here’s the module rundown:

Correction section: real-time pitch correction (Tune, with Tolerance + Humanize controls for everything from transparent to hard-tuned), adaptive Sculpt EQ that analyzes your voice and mic live, noise Gate, De-Esser, and a 4-band parametric EQ with HP/LP filters.

Dynamics & saturation: a Multimode Compressor with Tube (LA-2A-style), Stress (Distressor-style), and Multi (OTT-style) modes, plus Multimode Saturation with Tape, Tube (Culture-Vulture-style), and Digital bitcrush flavors.

Harmonies & space: up to 8 pitch-shifted harmony voices with a DI Mute switch, a Multimode Delay (Analog BBD, Circular Lexicon PCM-70-style, Tape RE-201-style, Dual) and Multimode Reverb (Hall, Plate, Ambiance) — every one with a built-in ducker so effects never bury the vocal.

Movement: 2290-style Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, and Neural DSP’s proprietary Doubler for instant width.

Two Plugins in One: Tracking + Mixing Modes

This is genuine added value, not marketing fluff. Tracking Mode gives you low latency and light CPU so vocalists can record while monitoring the fully processed chain — the kind of workflow that usually requires expensive DSP hardware. Mixing Mode switches to full-resolution processing with enhanced Sculpt dynamic spectral shaping for final mix detail. One purchase covers both ends of the process.

Bonus value: it’s not vocals-only. Every module works on synths, drums, and guitars, and a standalone app is included — so you’re getting a creative multi-effect for your whole studio, not just a vocal tool. Artist presets and the updated Preset Explorer (v1.1.0) come in the box.

FAQ

Is this the full version of Mantra or a limited edition?
The full version — every module, both Tracking and Mixing modes, the standalone app, and all artist presets. The discount is on the price, not the product.

Why is it so heavily discounted?
Promotional pricing on Neural DSP’s vocal debut. At €59.99 it costs less than most single-purpose pitch correction plugins while replacing an entire vocal chain.

Do I need an iLok USB dongle?
No. You only need the free iLok License Manager software and an iLok account — machine authorization is supported, no physical dongle required.

Can I use it on instruments too, or only vocals?
Both. It was designed for vocals, but the saturation, compression, modulation, delay, and reverb modules are fully usable on synths, drums, and guitars — effectively a bonus multi-effects plugin.
