Little Plate – This reverb plugin simulates a classic plate reverb, and is pretty much my go-to reverb in any mix. Tremolator – Tremolator can be used to create that classic tremolo effect we’ve heard on many guitar tracks. Finneas, known for producing Billie Eilish, has even used it to create harmonies out of a lead vocal track. Little Alterboy – This plugin allows you to do all kinds of pitch and formant shifting on your tracks.

I often use it on lead guitar parts to help them stick out more in a mix. Microshift/Little Microshift – Microshift creates a doubling/chorus effect that allows you to widen and thicken up your sounds. PanMan – PanMan allows you to auto-pan tracks so that they are constantly shifting within the stereo field. Phase Mistress – This plugin works much like a typical phaser effect you may have used. I’ve used it to recreate that classic “filtered EDM buildup” sound. Sie-Q – This an analog EQ emulator that gives you the warm sound of classic analog EQs, and pushing the EQ hard can create a nice saturation effect.įilter Freak/Filter Freak 2 – Filter Freak allows you to create all kinds of filtering effects, from your typical high and low pass filters to even bandpass filtering. The deluxe version offers even more parameters you can adjust. You can use this plugin to create extreme compression and distortion effects. Radiator/Little Radiator – Modeled after the Alteca 1567a tube mixer and 1566a Mic pre, Radiator is another great plugin for adding the sound of analog saturation to your tracks.ĭevil Loc/Devil Loc Deluxe – This plugin is described as an “audio level destroyer,” and that sums it up pretty well. ĭecapitator – Emulating analog saturation/distortion, Decapitator is perfect for adding extra punch to your sounds.
SOUNDTOYS REVIEW PATCH
Ĭrystallizer – Modeled after a patch in the Eventide H3000 effects processor, Crystallizer is a pitch-shifting, granular reverse echo plugin that allows you to create some very unique sounds with your instruments. I’ve found it to be really useful in creating rhythmic echoes that match the tempo of my song. Primal Tap/Little Primal Tap – This is another delay plugin that recreates the characteristics of vintage tape delays. Note that anytime a “Jr.” or “Little” version of a plugin is included in this bundle, it is essentially the same plugin with fewer parameters available to control. I often use it to create a slapback delay effect on vocals to thicken them up a little. – A delay plugin with tons of different features that allows you to create unique delay effects. The Soundtoys 5 bundle gives you a lot of bang for your buck! The bundle includes all 21 Soundtoys plugins, including…Įchoboy/Echoboy Jr.

They are modeled after analog hardware which gives the plugins a vintage “warm” sound, and each one offers a variety of different functions you can use to make creative effects that will grab people’s attention. These plugins have quickly become some of my favorites to incorporate into my work. If you’re looking for a dissenting opinion on Soundtoys, you won’t find it here. Since then, I have had plenty of time to experiment with the plugins in my mixes. I purchased this bundle a few months ago during my last semester of college (shoutout to the Soundtoys student discount!).

You might be interested in taking the plunge but aren’t sure if Soundtoys 5 is worth the hype. They are frequently touted as some of the best on the market. You’ve heard many producers and engineers rave about Soundtoys plugins.
