The SPIRITBOX frontwoman redefines vocal versatility in the studio with her groundbreaking new tool.

In a monumental leap for modern heavy music, Courtney LaPlante, the powerhouse vocalist of the Grammy-nominated juggernaut SPIRITBOX, has joined forces with MixWave to unveil her first signature vocal plugin. This isn't just any plugin; it’s a meticulously crafted modular suite that encapsulates the very essence of LaPlante's distinctive sound, marrying delicate melodies with gargantuan screams.

LaPlante has shattered the mold for what heavy vocalists can achieve, effortlessly blending ethereal notes and bone-rattling growls. The collaboration with MixWave aims to translate that remarkable versatility into a customizable signal chain designed for vocalists, producers, and creators to reinvent their own sonic landscapes.

"I’ve always dreamed of having one plugin that has everything I need, so I can focus on my performance on stage, and my creativity in the studio," LaPlante expresses. Since 2021, she has poured her passion and artistry into this project, and it’s clear that every bit of love has been infused into its creation.

To celebrate the launch, Courtney showcased the plugin in a vocal playthrough of SPIRITBOX’s track “Keep Sweet,” a visceral display of the plugin’s capabilities across her dynamic range. Forget fixed sounds; MixWave: Courtney LaPlante offers seven processing modules—Pitch, Distortion, Compression, Modulation, Reverb, Delay, and Line Amplifier—that can be arranged to fit any workflow, giving users the freedom to sculpt their own unique voice.

At the core of this plugin lies the atmospheric balance and intensity that have become synonymous with LaPlante's vocal production. Whether you’re looking to channel Courtney's signature style or forge your own path, this tool promises to be an invaluable asset.

Currently available for an introductory price of $79, the plugin regularly retails for $139, with a loyalty price of $69 for existing MixWave: Mike Stringer owners. MixWave is more than a plugin producer; it’s a collective driven by a commitment to crafting world-class audio tools that inspire creativity and elevate the art of sound.

As SPIRITBOX continues to carve their legacy in the heavy music scene, following the massive success of their debut album “Eternal Blue” and Grammy nominations for their EP “Fear Of Fear,” LaPlante's plugin launch serves as a testament to their innovative spirit. With a European arena tour set for September 2026 featuring JINJER and DYING WISH, the future looks bright for both LaPlante and SPIRITBOX as they push the boundaries of heavy music.
