These features mentioned above are what make FilterFreak stand out amongst an endless sea of filter VSTs. This is an excellent tool for standard filtering but can open up extraordinary creative potential in just a few clicks through some of its more unconventional features. This filter can provide anything from squelchy resonant sweeps to warmly driven low-pass filtering. See for yourself:Įvery plugin bundle needs a classic filter, but Sondtoys' FilterFreak is anything but conventional. Hearing him talk about the Soundtoys plugins makes you think that he loves them even more than we do. Tycho - While admitting that hardware is integral to his creative process, Tycho states that Soundtoys emulations of classical hardware are actually more than perfect they often lead to other compelling results unobtainable to those only using hardware. The latter of these two plugins, Mija notes, is a fantastic tool for adding a sparkling and ethereal quality to tones and being an inspiration machine to generate entirely new ideas (more on this later on). She notes that these iconic qualities stem from using Soundtoys saturation plugin, Decapitator, and a healthy dose of Crystallizer.

Mija - The core of Mija's sound comes from grit-soaked atmospheres and an in-your-face attitude that is as ephemeral as it is apparent. Small amounts across dozens of channels culminate in an end result that feels so real you could almost grasp it. The duo states that they run almost every signal through at least one instance of these plugins to add grit and resolution to their sounds. They admit these textures are entirely attributed to the Soundtoys Radiator plugin (with a few dashes of Decapitator for flavor). ODESZA - Few artists in the game can match the texture and authenticity of sound that ODESZA brings to their productions. So whether you're into sound design, audio processing, inspirational tools, or dirty, messy, analog emulation, you'll find that Soundtoys does it all. You'll learn what they do, you'll know why they do what they do, and you'll even learn some of their most powerful features are often the most unassuming bits of their under interface. Well, we've used these plugins A TON, and we know them like the back of our hands, which is why we decided it's finally time somebody wrote the unrivaled guide to the Soundtoys plugin bundle. It's too easy to get good results with little effort that too many producers gloss over the details hidden under the hood of every Soundtoys plugin.

Just drop something like Decapitator or Echoboy onto a channel and start scrolling through presets, and you'll instantly see their potential.īut therein lies the problem.

That's because the Soundtoys plugins offer a ton of value right out of the box. In fact, at the Hyperbits Masterclass, we deem the Soundtoys plugin bundle as one of our three desert island plugins. This is because Soundtoys plugins are more than just mixing tools they can be used for sound design, inspirational tools, and powerful audio processing tools. Soundtoys plugins are some of the most widely used tools in audio, and for a good reason.
