Quotes


Pluralis

If you are into using the “Freeze” mode on delays or reverbs, United has the only one that I am away of that once you “Freeze” the effect, you can tweak or automate in real time all the parameters, This is crazy cool!

QuickMuse

Anytime you're stuck in the creative flow, loading QuickMuse has been a fun & and surprising fix for me. It does not matter if it is drums, keys, or even vocal; it puts a new spin on the track with things I might not have thought of or had the time to create a signal chain with all these cool effects on it. I especially like that once I have sculpted the sound to my liking, I can add a High and low pass filter on the end of the signal flow for an excellent “Lo-Fi sound.

MasterMind

MasterMind is such a hidden gem; there are many Mastering plug-ins out there, but MasterMind just adds such an instant bang to your mix, with very little effort and such smooth saturation!

Plamen

Plamen sets itself apart from other saturation plugins out there. United really did a great job on making a kind of hybrid EQ & saturation/distortion plugin that really allows you to carve a very unique sound without adding too much dirt. Now, Plamen is a part of my recording & mixing set-up daily.

Hyperspace

I am always looking for creative long-tailed reverbs; I use the section called Creative Supermassive, a preset bank that allows you to go really big.
