Unfiltered Audio is an audio plugin developer based in Southern California, founded by Joshua Dickinson and Michael Hetrick. The two founders combined backgrounds in composition, modular synthesis, and sound design around the idea that music software should be made by musicians. Several of their early award-winning plugins, including Sandman and G8, were developed in collaboration with Dr. Ryan Michael McGee at UC Santa Barbara, giving the catalog a foundation in academic DSP research.

The company is best known for creative, performance-focused effects and synthesizers distributed through Plugin Alliance. Flagship titles include BYOME ("Build Your Own Modular Effect"), a modular effects rack with over 40 modules, and SpecOps, a spectral processor with more than 35 frequency-domain effects. Other notable plugins include the LION synthesizer, the Battalion drum synth, the Silo spatial granular reverb, Needlepoint (vinyl emulation), Tails, Fault, and the lo-fi degradation tool LO-FI-AF.

Their plugins ship in VST, VST3, AU, and AAX formats for Windows and macOS, and a handful of titles — Bass-Mint, Silo, LO-FI-AF, Tails, and Needlepoint — have been ported to iOS. The brand's reputation sits in the experimental and sound-design-oriented corner of the plugin market, with an emphasis on deep modulation routing and unconventional effect design rather than emulations of classic analog hardware.

Unfiltered Audio has 20 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Distortion Plugins, Delay Plugins, and Multi-Effect Plugins. Their gear is featured by 10 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Pop, and Rock. Notable users include Andrew Huang, Richard Devine, and forgotten future.
