New Music Gear Monday: Fiedler Audio Stage Stereo Toolkit Plugin
We’re at the evolutionary point in audio software where it’s not enough to be just another me-too plugin.

New Music Gear Monday: Eventide Ultratap Delay Plugin
If delay is your thing when mixing, then you probably have a couple of multitap delays in your toolbox.

New Music Gear Monday: Waves Brauer Motion Autopanner Plugin
Autopanners are pretty cool in that they can add motion to an element of a mix to make it more interesting.

Unless you’ve had many years of experience mixing, it’s pretty easy to be befuddled by a mix.

New Music Gear Monday: Wave Alchemy Revolution Drum Machine Emulator
When drum machines first came out in the 80s we loved the programmability but hated the sound limitations.

If you’ve ever used the Bricasti M7 reverb, you know how spectacular it sounds, so much so that it’s spoiled many an engineer when it comes to using anything else.

New Music Gear Monday: IK Multimedia Lurssen Mastering Console
There’s nothing like the ears and expertise of a mastering engineer to finish off a project, but when that’s just not in the budget, you have to do it yourself. It’s true that a ton of mastering tools are on the market, and many of them do the job very well, but none are as […]

New Music Gear Monday: Eventide Fission Structural Effects Plugin
Most processor plugins these days fall into roughly the same categories (EQ, compression, effects, denoise and utilities), so when a plugin comes along that starts a new category it’s big news. The plugin I’m talking about is the the Eventide Fission, which uses what the company calls its new Structural Effects (that would be the name of […]
