SPIRITBOX's COURTNEY LAPLANTE Teams Up With MIXWAVE For Signature Vocal Plugin

Courtney LaPlante, vocalist of three-times-Grammy-nominated band SPIRITBOX, has teamed up with MixWave to launch her first signature vocal plugin, a modular vocal suite developed around the tools and techniques behind her unmistakable sound.

LaPlante has helped redefine what a modern heavy vocalist can sound like, moving seamlessly between delicate melodies, towering clean vocals and uncompromising screams. Developed alongside Courtney, the new plugin translates that versatility into a flexible signal chain built for vocalists, producers and creators to shape into something entirely their own.

"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," Courtney says. "We've been developing this idea together since 2021, and I hope you can feel all the love and care that went into it."

Courtney recently put the plugin through its paces in a new vocal playthrough of SPIRITBOX's "Keep Sweet", showcasing the plugin in action across the range of her performance. Watch the "Keep Sweet" vocal playthrough below.

Rather than recreating one fixed vocal sound, MixWave: Courtney LaPlante brings together seven processing modules that can be freely rearranged to suit any workflow. Pitch, Distortion, Compression, Modulation, Reverb, Delay and Line Amplifier offer everything from subtle dynamic control and harmonic saturation to dramatic pitch processing, expansive ambience and cascading delays.

At the heart of the plugin is the same balance of atmosphere, texture and intensity that has become synonymous with LaPlante's vocal production. Users can draw inspiration from Courtney's approach or completely reshape the chain around their own voice and creative process.

MixWave: Courtney LaPlante is available now for an introductory price of $79, with a regular price of $139. Owners of MixWave: Mike Stringer can purchase the plugin for a loyalty price of $69.

MixWave is a collective of musicians, producers, and engineers with a singular mission: to create world-class audio tools that inspire. Founded by a team deeply embedded in the world of music production, MixWave doesn't just build plugins — it lives them. Every product MixWave makes is guided by the company's years spent in studios, on stages and behind consoles, refining the tools that shape sound.

SPIRITBOX has emerged as one of the most formidable and forward-thinking bands in heavy music. Since the breakout success of their debut "Eternal Blue" — which debuted at No. 13 on the Billboard 200 — the trio has continued to push genre boundaries. Their "Fear Of Fear" EP earned back-to-back Grammy nominations ("Jaded" in 2024, "Cellar Door" in 2025),while bold collaborations with Megan Thee Stallion, including the viral "Cobra" remix and explosive "TYG" (No. 5 on Billboard's Hot Hard Rock Songs),spotlight their fearless crossover vision. Their 2025 sophomore album "Tsunami Sea" (Pale Chord / Rise Records) debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Hard Rock Albums chart and cemented their status as sonic innovators. Known for their incendiary live show, SPIRITBOX delivers a visceral, emotionally charged experience that continues to captivate audiences around the world. In September 2026, SPIRITBOX will head out on a European arena tour featuring special guests JINJER and DYING WISH.
