vocal booth.
0.4 s tail.
Just enough air to remove the dryness. The smallest preset.
character.
Vocal Booth is the smallest preset Arna ships. Decay sits at 0.4 s, the early reflections are nearly inaudible, and the tail dies before the next phrase starts. The point is to remove the bone-dry quality of a close-mic'd vocal without adding any obvious 'reverb'.
Use it on dialogue, podcast vocals, dry rap takes, and anywhere you want presence without space. The Brain stays nearly silent at this k value.
Pairs with: Drum Room when the same vocal needs a bit more body; Chamber when the take should sit in an actual room.
Best for
- Dialogue / podcast
- Dry vocal takes
- Spoken word
- Voiceover

Long stone tail, slow attack, the Brain is loud — every transient becomes a swell.
— Naturalshall
Concert hall — warm, defined, decay around 2 to 3 seconds. Default for orchestra.
— Naturalschamber
Small wood-and-plaster chamber. The size that disappears into a pop arrangement.
— Platesplate
Bright, dense, modulated. Sounds like an EMT 140 that has been kept clean.
