AudioThing offers the Effect Bundle (ā¬499 value) for FREE to one lucky BPB reader on Cyber Monday. Keep reading for more info about the bundle and to enter the giveaway.
Most BPB readers are already familiar with AudioThingās innovative audio effects. The company specializes in developing plugins that either emulate rare vintage gear or bring something completely new to the table.
The Effect Bundle contains all 27 audio effects developed by AudioThing. Itās a long list, so weāll take a closer look at some of our favorite AudioThing plugins.
āThe Effect Bundle features all AudioThing Effects plugins (VST/AU/AAX) with a 60% discount. Ranging from vintage valve emulation to complex convolution processing, this bundle is perfect for every kind of composer, producer, and sound designer.ā

Outer Space emulates the famous Roland RE-201 Space Echo. If you like vintage tape echoes, this plugin is a must-have. AudioThing simulates the original unit down to the detail, including all the analog tape imperfections and saturation properties.
Wires is an emulation of a 1970s Soviet wire recorder. Now thatās something you definitely donāt already have in your plugin arsenal.

Donāt sleep on Sonic Charge Bitspeek for vocals and check this out; Xfer Delta Modulator for drums!
Long-time free favorites; HeadCrusherFREE and REFLEX free.
Donāt use it often but when I do itās perfect and nothing compares; Szechuan Saturator.
Also big shoutout to Analog Obsession (totally stand up to Arturia), kHs (great low-CPU utilities), and I really love all the Freakshow Industries stuff (the most sound-design-y recommendation ā awesome interfaces, beautifully unpredictable)!

onI like using convolution reverbs (I use the one in Ableton ā Hybrid Reverb).
Instead of using an impulse response to simulate space to add dimension to the sound, I like to use .wav files of interesting sounds to morph the original signal while keeping more accurate pitch and formant qualities.
You can do this with some cabinet sims, too. Really anything that can host a .wav file for an impulse response.

onHi there,
Thanks for such an informative blog mate, always bringing my attention to great new products.
Iād LOVE to win this incredible effects processing suite. My answer to your question is actually very relevant to why I love the idea of AudioThingās software so muchā¦
For me, there is no single magic plugin, my tool of choice is any capable DAW (I use Pro Tools and Studio One) and itās advanced flexible signal routing, so that I can expose my evolving signal to countless preconfigured effects channels and chains to modify the signal with subtle nuances right through to bold reactive reflections, and everything else in between. Can craft anything imaginable through complex compounding of effects plugins.
The awesomeness here is that, with quality plugins, I can dynamically factor the processing in such fine detail using the DAWās channel and plugin parameter automation.
Having a whole collection of effect plugins at your fingertips, such as AudioThingās software suite, essentially enables this incredibly powerful DAW feature. It then becomes more about which plugins you have access to, and the flexibility, sound shaping diversity and ensuing impact on the signal arising from multiple modifiers cross pollinated with each other.
This in conjunction with being able to feed these effects with any signal to begin with, and cyclically after each iteration whether automated or with manually processing, I think provides truly endless sound design possibilities!
At least, this is how I get truly unique results :)
Josh
onPS. I switched from Pro Tools to Studio One because I missed the upgrade boat and canāt afford their astronomical licensing.
Was delighted to discover that Studio One, as the far less expensive underdog, punches way above its weight and delivers the same capabilities that even the most expensive DAWs do.
I think the same can be said for plug-in vendors. Some of the less renowned suites deliver incredible results and itās really beneficial to take the time out to check out the reviews and demos. Some of the very best for creating super unique sound design are often found off the beaten track I think.
I mean, seriously⦠check out AudioThingās The Orb and Fog Convolution 2. These are insanely powerful for audio design, let alone the idea of combining them and some of the other effects in their suite.

Except for my DAW (FL Studio) and some VSTās (Cherry Audioās Mercury-4 and DCO-106) one of my favorite plug-ins is actually one from Audio Thing: The Orb. It creates these magnificent/weird/atmospheric human sounding sounds/hums. An awful lot of fun.

onIām not sure what sound design means, cause it could mean anything meant to change the texture and character of sounds. As far as the creation of sounds from scratch goes, Element 2, Invader 2, PG-8X, and Messiah 2, for synths. For tonal shaping, a bunch of stuff ā reverbs (Fame Studios, for actual spaces, Envelope, for more ethereal, H-Reverb), tapes (Softube, IK Tascam bundle), delays (McDSP, X-Delay, but thereās many good ones), consoles and preamps (80s and 50s Consoles from Lindell, CLA Mixhub, Kramer HLS, Neold V76), so on, many favorite plugins used specially for creating/enhancing sound textures.

onPicking a favorite sound design tool is so hard.
Hereās a quick summary of what I feel after 20+ years using and testing a lot of music software.
Control over sound is what makes music unique, allowing us to shape our creations.
I like to use several kinds of distortion plugins to give my sounds ālifeā, I use the BPB distortion tool, and also recently like Tritik Krush as it offers very interesting modulation options.
Apogee Soft Limit does add great warmth with an easy interface.
The two schools of visual or no visual indication of what we tweak are still there for tools like EQs. I personally like to see, but I always remind myself to listen attentively!
Lately with the release of master plugins like Waves Studio Rack we finally get to build and reuse complex plugin chains. For example I am most disappointed when a plugin does not have a wet/dry knob. I know itās not common for many plugins but in these days when we can stick a guitar amp on a synth for extra distortion it would be great to dial it down for parallel processing. The Waves plugin allows to do that and so much more, nice utility.
Another type of feature that I like to use are LFOs for building āautomatic automationā and Iād really like to see companies pay attention to the modulation side of their plugins. Most users will not just tweak and forget, but instead will seek to inject life by automating settings. Having LFOs and fun mathematical/drawing based control over parameters is an awesome way to inject life into a sound. I feel Melda audio plugins have built a phenomenal and probably way underused system with their Modulators. Utterly creative !!! Audiothing Dials seem to have such an LFO built in and itās very much something Iād love to try on my guitars and synths.
I also see interesting innovation coming from Ujam with the way they integrate so much functionality in all their plugins yet with useable and fun interfaces. They create plugins that have a direct focus on helping make music, as opposed to āplugins with featuresā.
Valhalla SuperMassive is also fabulous, extremely versatile and I like having written tips on the interface, itās really useful for us users to get reminded of how to use the plugins!
A word about presets. Itās essential to have a ratings system or to be able to remove presets as thereās very much unusable stuff in most of the plugins I use or test. Best systems allow to rate or highlight and even discard presets we donāt like. A plugin with many presets that does not offer all of those options will get annoying to use. Also, best to curate presets as it can make or break a plugin. Most users go through presets to test. Iāve been particularly disappointed with some instrument synths from a big brand that had so many awfully unmusical unusable presets. Quite a mood killer.
A word about interfaces. Iāve learnt to live with both analog style GUIs and the very plain ones. Whilst I favour the pretty ones, I do however really like scalable GUIs as itās so helpful to focus clearly on one plugin on my second widescreen curved monitor. Everything has to be very readable please ! And easy to assign midi controllers ..
Finally, Iād like to get the Audiothing package because Iām working so hard on writing and producing my first album. Iād pushing myself doing everything by myself. Iād like to get the best tools to sculpt and mix my tunes. I feel with the Audiothing bundle I should have every tool I need to achieve this !
Josh
onWhat is it with some of us whoāve been writing music and experimenting with audio for decades, yet never released anything!
Your answer regarding automating plugin params, compounding and otherwise nuanced application of multiple plugins in chain (If I understood you correctly), is pretty much my view too, by far providing the most creative sound design flexibility.
The wet/dry application is inherently available via the mix console in your DAW, isnāt it? Or am I misunderstanding the signal path there somehow.
Good on you for taking the step to launch an album after so long. Would love to know what the catalyst was, I still donāt have the confidence or knowledge to take my completed projects to full scale launch. Even with all my experience, I never made the transition, because Iāve not seen it done first hand.
