Aberrant DSP is a small audio software company founded by Ben and Dan, focused on creative mixing and sound-design plugins rather than polished, transparent studio tools. Their catalog leans into deliberate imperfection — glitches, modulations, saturation and tape-style artifacts — with the stated aim of adding color, intrigue, and personality to mixes.

The company is best known for SketchCassette II, a tape emulation plugin that models cassette-style wow, flutter, saturation, and noise. Other releases include Digitalis (digital artifacting and bit-crushing), ShapeShifter, Tectonic, Cataclysm, Lair, and Lofi Oddity, available in VST3, AU, and AAX formats for macOS and Windows. Plugins are sold individually and as discounted bundles, pitched at an affordable price point compared to larger plugin houses.

Ben handles DSP development and business operations and makes music as half of My Total Reversal, while Dan designs the GUIs and handles marketing and content, releasing music as Still Life. The two-person team's musician background is reflected in the plugins' focus on texture and character over clinical processing.

Aberrant DSP has 10 products cataloged on Equipboard, including FX Bundle Plugins, Multi-Effect Plugins, and Saturation Plugins. Their gear is featured by 10 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Pop, and Hip Hop. Notable users include FINNEAS, Mike Shinoda, and underscores.
