  Brainworx bx_masterdesk

  bx_Masterdesk is one of my absolute top go-to “colorful” compressors. The ability to add slight color with incredible compression and regulate stereo width simultaneously makes it a formidable weapon in every producers ultimate battle - time! It’s a total winner, highly recommended!

  Unfiltered Audio Bass-Mint

  Bass-Mint is an epic solution to an age-old problem - how do I get more consistent and punchy bass and sub information in my kicks and basslines? Bass-Mint is the glue to bind this difficult part of the frequency spectrum. It’s replaced VOG and Bark of the Dog as my go-to bass enhancement and management tool.

  fiedler audio splat

  splat is incredible. Somewhere between the most configurable haas widener and a dynamic and amazing chorus. Used subtly or as a dramatic effect - this will be my new go to stereo widening tool. Way deeper that it appears and super useful.

  Three-Body Technology Trinity Shaper

  Trinity Shaper is a completely unique and wildly useful tool for separating and surgically operating on attack, body and sustain of recorded material. I am finding it insanely useful on everything from cinematic percussion to vocals. A really unique and powerful tool.

  NEOLD U17

  As someone that adores and uses outboard hardware regularly from vintage pieces to modern ones - I’m completely blown away by the nuance, character, depth, and warmth of NEOLD U17. This is a remarkable plug-in capable of subtle compression transformations, all the way through to parallel, in-your-face super punch attitude. What impresses the most, is it's a plugin. It behaves remarkably like outboard gear and is highly responsive to input signal and characteristics. A total winner. Will be using this non-stop. Way to go Plugin Alliance!

  DS Audio Thorn

  Synth is fantastic - one of the best arp’s I’ve ever used in a soft synth. Cuts in a mix, really hitting all the notes you want from a clean, elegant, modern soft synth. I love it.

  PA Unfiltered Audio Bundle monthly

  Unfiltered Audio is a kind of industry secret for the cool kids in need of FSU mayhem. Their plugins are extremely deep and elegant and allow you to go places in the software domain, typically only achievable on modern modular synthesizers. Phenomenal plugins.

  Unfiltered Audio LION

  Lion is a remarkable achievement in soft synths. A truly new paradigm. There are familiar tools with an exotic and inspiring workflow. Less software and much more like having patch cables around your neck and a couple of hundred modules. LION is a fresh and inspiring new instrument with a remarkably intuitive interface and best in class DSP. A must-have.
