Denise Audio is a plugin developer founded in 2018 and based in the Netherlands, with ties to Berlin and Amsterdam. The company specializes in single-purpose audio effects built around custom DSP, aiming to solve specific problems in mixing and production rather than offering sprawling multi-effect suites. Plugins ship with a consistent, minimal interface designed for quick workflow decisions and low CPU usage.

Its catalog includes Bad Tape (a lo-fi tape emulation), Perfect Plate XL (a plate reverb), Dragon Fire (a push-pull compressor that blends characteristics of classic compressor types), Perfect Room 2 (algorithmic reverb), Bass XXL (low-end enhancement), Motion Filter, Sub Generator, Poltergate, and Noize 2. The plugins are often used for vocal production, creative saturation and texture, and shaping low end.

Denise Audio's approach leans toward producers and engineers who want focused tools with personality — effects tuned for a specific sonic job rather than general-purpose channel strips or emulations of famous hardware. The brand is frequently grouped alongside other modern boutique plugin makers exploring creative effects and unconventional takes on standard processors.

Denise Audio has 18 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Saturation Plugins, Reverb Plugins, and Bit Crusher Plugins. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Electronic. Notable users include Fred again...
