Unleash your creativity and transform your soundscapes with the Cableguys HalfTime. This innovative plugin is your gateway to a world of atmospheric, slowed-down audio, favored by industry giants like Armin van Buuren and David Guetta. Whether you're crafting Trap, EDM, Hip-Hop, or House, HalfTime offers a unique half-speed effect that instantly deepens your tracks, turning lead synths into powerful basslines and delicate piano lines into eerie, captivating melodies.

Great Value for Money
One of the cheapest VST'S I've come across. Does the job quite well, although low sounds must be pitched up before using the effect, to avoid muddiness. Only complaint is high CPU usage.
