Responding to a question about what plugin he uses to give his sounds more power, Hardwell says he uses the Noveltech Character Plugin. This is from the Facebook Studio interview at Amsterdam Dance Event 2014. His reply is around 09:12 in the video: "To give my sound more power, I think definitely when it comes to synths, it’s really important how you EQ your synths. But one of my plugins that I basically always use on synths and baselines is from Noveltech, it’s called Character. Basically it just boosts the character of the sound itself. So your sound is getting more powerful, and it sounds so much better. There’s a lot of good presets in it, so you definitely need to check that plugin out."
