Keywords: vocals, low latency, tracking, live performance, zero-latency, repair, dialogue, corrective, mastering, spacious, thin.
What it does
StageVox offers "astounding near-zero latency noise suppression for singers." CEDAR says it does for singing what its dialogue noise suppressors do for speech.
- CEDAR Quantum: near-zero latency, needed for live sound, in-ear or wedge monitoring and tracking.
- Controls: Attenuation removes the noise, Focus sets how it responds to more or less prominent noise elements, and Ambience sets how much natural ambience is kept.
- Reverb suppression: reduces excessive reverberation as well as noise.
- Uses: tour sound, worship, tracking, home vocal recording, streaming and post; CEDAR also suggests it for mastering.
- Efficiency: light enough to run as many simultaneous instances as needed.
Part of CEDAR's Icons range. It has a 14-day free trial.
When to use it
Pick StageVox when you need noise and room reduction on a singer in real time, such as a live vocal mic or a tracking session in an untreated room. Like Universal Audio's C-Suite C-Vox Noise & Ambience Reduction, it targets vocal noise and room sound, while Waves Clarity Vx uses AI with more latency.
- Best for: live vocal mics, tracking vocals in noisy or roomy spaces, and worship and tour sound.
- Genres: pop, rock, R&B, acoustic and any vocal-led music.
- Look elsewhere if: you are cleaning speech rather than singing; CEDAR's ScreenVox is tuned for that.
- Standout: near-zero latency noise and room reduction designed for singing.
What producers say
Coverage is thin so far; commentary is positive about the concept, while forum users note the price.
- SoundsSpace (2025): wrote that it "sits in a sweet spot," bringing restoration-grade processing to a real-time, singer-focused plugin.
- Gripe: on KVR (2025), a user reacting to the Icons launch pricing wrote "Folks are going to flip at the prices though."
- SoundsSpace: StageVox, why Cedar Audio's new vocal plugin deserves a serious listen
- KVR Audio forum: Cedar Audio Icons series
