Tape Stop

It do what's it said, it shut down your audio track by turning the trigger knob

I

Creative phaser

This phase modulation plugin can sounds really weird sometimes. Either you place it on a guitar or a synth, it can produce really unique phasing effects. A nice creative effect to add to your vst list

Real Piano

If you need the perfect piano sound, this one is THE PIANO you need. I've tried so much piano emulations and sampled pianos... None of them equals XLN Audio products. I'm using both Grand Piano & Upright Piano, I've never been deceived by the sound. Precise control of everything, the mic choice, mic position, reverb, delay, compression, eq, stereo, saturation, velocity and even hard/soft kind of playing can be edited. No matter if you make classical, EDM or pop music, this is the best piano plugin ever.

Make guitar great again

Have a poor piezo mic in your acoustic guitar? This tool can bring your boring acoustic guitar tracks to life. Sounds good on dobro too

I

Analog reverb

If you need a warm coloring reverb that sounds like an analog device, that plugin. Sounds awesome on acoustic guitars, live drums and vocals.

Roomey

THis is my go-to reverb during the mixing process. It's discrete and transparent reverb that can sound incredible on pretty everything. But this is a studio device, so don't expect to get a colored & warm sound

I

Industry standard

That's probably one of the most used piece of gear in mastering studios, but it really has a particular manner of enhancing audio. The air-band itself worth buying it. It's pretty rare to find an EQ that can go as low as 10hz

I

Spring Box

Finally nice sounding emulation of spring reverb tank! I've tried many softwares emulation, but I actually never found a decent one (not considering the softube one which sounds nice but a bit expensive for the minimalistic controls). This one is pretty complete, you have both mono & stereo mode, 3 springs, a Hi-pass filter and a dry-wet control. Sounds good on everything, really

I

Good synth

It doesn't really sound analog, but it can create some interesting sound. My fav feature is the vacuum tube saturation that you can find on OSC, Filter & Drive, it's pretty unusual for a soft synth and I really love what it can do.

I

Wavetable synthesis

This synth has a really intuitive design while hosting complex functions. As all wavetable synths, it has an unlimited potential, especially if you load your own wt or samples on the OSC & Filter! It can turn any sample in an interesting way. A sound designer paradise!

I

A nice player

The included library really worth the free download! Lazerbass is a real beast synth, if you're looking for something similar to Razor, it's a nice free alternative. Newscool is a realy nice (but complex) drum machine that sounds like no other, it host a drum synthetizer and a "Game Of Life" type of sequencer, really great for creating unique synthetic percussion loops.

I

Realistic E-piano

Looking for a Wurli/Rhodes-alike sound? Look no further, this sounds as nice as any other Ep emulation. Even compared to Mark One from Kontakt library, the world-class reference, it sounds beautiful. It also host essential FX such as EQ, comp, chorus, tremolo & verb

I

Not so limited

Frontier is probably the best free limiter plugin I've used, it does the job in a decent way. But be careful with clipping when using on master

I

Multiband Dynamics

Sounds awesome on synths and even on master bus. This multiband compressor, very similar from the Ableton device can turn any boring synth sound or weak mix into something dynamic and powerful

I

British console sound

Think SSL? It sounds pretty similar, even thought the release is automatic by default. It's a nice go-to compressor, sounds even better as a glue compressor on mix busses and even on the master channel, it really glues elements together

I

As the name says

It literally does what's it names. It glitch, stutter, delay, reverse, gate, crush and stretch your audio using a small sequencer. A great free plugin

I

Good metering plugin

It's a pretty useful tool to visualize your production and detect frequency issues. It also features a nice transient identifier & correlation meter, great to identify phase problems. My only regret is that it doesn't feature a loudness meter... But, can expect more from a free plugin!

I

High price but high quality

I own the House vol.3, Deep House vol.1 & 2, Electroschock vol.2 and Ultimate Fills vol.1 and can say that it's probably the best sample libraries I've bought so far... But yes, it's expensive, maybe the bad point

I

Like a vinyl

A free plugin that gives you a pretty realistic vinyl tone, lot of nice functions inside

authentically what?

Best filter

It's a great tool with versatile controls. From 12dB to 96dB slope, it's an advanced filter, with the quality of the awarded Vengeance
