Best vocal chain for FL Studio

A clean, modern vocal in FL Studio needs no paid plugins. Here is the order that works for rap, melodic and R&B vocals.

The chain, in order

Clean-up EQ (Fruity Parametric EQ 2) — high-pass around 80–100 Hz and cut muddy low-mids.
Pitch correction (Pitcher) — fast for melodic rap, gentle for R&B.
Compression (Fruity Limiter (compressor mode)) — 3–6 dB of gain reduction keeps every word upfront.
De-essing (Maximus or Parametric EQ 2 band) — tame harsh "s" sounds around 5–8 kHz.
Space (Fruity Reeverb 2 + Fruity Delay 3 on sends) — keep effects on sends so the dry vocal stays clear.
