Plug-Ins From the Bargain Bin | San Diego Troubadour

sandiegotroubadour.com

Hiku by SoundSpot offers a tantalizingly simple approach to low-end enhancement, merging parallel compression and tape saturation for a punchy result. While its intuitive interface and low price point (found as low as 99 cents) are appealing, the lack of detailed control may deter those seeking intricate sound shaping. Ultimately, Hiku's effectiveness hinges on the user’s expectations; it excels in quick fixes but may leave seasoned pros wanting more versatility. If you're after a straightforward tool for immediate improvements, it’s worth a look—just don’t expect it to replace more comprehensive options in your arsenal.
