I enjoy using Soundtoys because the plugins are both fun to use and add an excellent color to the sound that’s both unique and doesn’t sound overly processed if that makes sense. My two favorite plugins currently are Decapitator and Devil-Loc. The plugin bundle is second in line to the SSL Channel from Waves. I can’t say that I utilize every single Soundtoys plugin, but I almost guarantee that one or two of them make it in each session. One turn of a knob opens up possibilities you may have never have conceptualized during pre-production. They indeed are fun plugins that sound great, and they make the creative process of music production a blast. It may have even come up daily during the production of the last album! I can’t count the number of times we’ve questioned using a Soundtoys effect on a part to make it sound more interesting. I bought the entire plugin bundle rather than one at a time. I’m pretty positive he used them on the album (The Decapitator was absolutely on the snare drum in the final mix).īack in 2017, Soundtoys offered a discounted sale (must have been for Black Friday), and I took it. He told me how much he enjoyed using the plugins and how great they sounded. While recording our band’s second album in 2016, one of our producers had mentioned Soundtoys to me. Soundtoys has made music production less technical, more creative, and more fun all around. I am a drummer and a music producer, so I’m always interested in plugins that can help give a drum recording a unique character or quality. By mixing the output of the rack back into the input, you can build your own modulated reverbs, over-the-top delays and other unique ambience effects that would require complicated routing to accomplish in most DAWs.Being that Soundtoys 5 is upwards of $500, is it worth your money? Today we’ll be answering that question and taking a look the plugins in the bundle. Then experiment with the powerful new global Recycle control. Fine tune the input and output levels, and use the global mix control to blend your effect in with the dry signal. Lock rhythmic effects to a single tempo, or let them run free. And when you�ve created the perfect combination of effects, the Rack�s global controls let you treat the whole rack as a single plug-in. The Effect Rack makes it simple to build your own custom effect chains and define your signature sound.
It turns a tried-and-true collection of powerful individual plug-ins into a virtually unlimited creative multi-effects system. The new Soundtoys Effect Rack is the centerpiece of Soundtoys 5.
But combined in the new Soundtoys Effect Rack, they are indeed the ultimate effects collection.
