Awesome.

In my modest opinion, the best effect plugin suite. Must have. Whatever is your genre and your sound style this suite is really useful to all aspects. Just lack a bit about mastering and dynamics toolset (compressor, limiter) but this is not the first goal of this suite. If you want create, retouch, manipulate and/or destroy your music, Soundtoys 5 is the top best. Decapitator, Echoboy, Little Plate, Cristallizer, Filter Freaks 1 and 2, PanMan, Tremolator, ecc, ecc, ecc. are all amazing plugins. Actually ST is offering them with a reducted price. Sorry for my bad english. Thanks.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Decapitator + Little Alterboy on aggressive vocal parts (if you like industrial rock, nu metal and similar. Infact, they are the fav FX-plugins of T. Reznor, A. Cortini and more).

I’m not a huge plug user compared to some but Soundtoys have always been among my favorites. Thanks to a Cyber Monday deal I finally got the full kit. Some of the best kit out there hands down. 100% recommended.

The Decapitator from SoundToys is incredible, I use it on all my synth tracks, really adds a fantastic "color"to the sound that compliments whatever project i'm working on.

Calling EchoBoy a delay plug-in is doing it a disservice. It has become the first thing I turn to for treating a wide variety of sources. An EXCELLENT sound / space shaping tool and the most flexible and musical delay out there

“Soundtoys plugs-ins are so good, they have made our outboard effects almost redundant – even the high end ones!?In particular, we love EchoBoy, Crystallizer, Filter Freak, Pan Man and our new ‘go to every time’ plug in, Decapitator.? Decapitator manages to give everything an added dynamic. We are working an a new album at the moment and it is fantastic on drums, guitars, bass, vocals… pretty much anything. The quality – as with all Soundtoys plug-ins – is astounding.”
