Utility VST Plugins

LF Generator

SirenFX Black Noise Generator is an LFE effect that creates a deep and unsettling noise texture that can be used to add atmosphere to any media project.

As a generator, it outputs the characteristic ‘doom’ tone often used in movies and games to create a sense of menacing foreboding or to allude to vast spaces. The generated noise can also be modulated with a sidechain input to add power and weight to any existing sound lacking low-end, such as gunshots, foley, or even the human voice.

The noise signal is overdriven and filtered in a two-stage process to create a texture that is both aggressive and smooth. It is also high-pass filtered to create a very focused sound.

Music Theory & Composition Training Software for DAW-Based Music Makers

Drum Patterns, Basslines, Chord Progressions, and Melodies: Learn how to create these four essential elements of music in an engaging DAW environment with Building Blocks.

Building Blocks is an online music theory and composition course tailored to the needs of DAW-based music makers. Starting from the very beginning, you’ll embark on a video game-style interactive journey in an online DAW. And along the way, you’ll build real-life music-making skills with an intuitive step-by-step process until you’re making your own original beats from scratch.

Building Blocks 1

In this first volume of Building Blocks, you’ll learn how to write the foundational core of your beat: Drums, Bass, and Chords.

Take a detailed look at what’s covered:

Modernized Music Theory

Building Blocks has thrown out the traditional music theory rule book and created a new approach that’s tailored to the needs of DAW-based musicians.

Traditional music theory takes place in the centuries-old music staff and is loaded with information that doesn’t always apply to a DAW environment. So Building Blocks takes a streamlined need-to-know approach, removing the music staff and replacing it with the Piano Roll.

Learning music theory in the Piano Roll is crucial for DAW-based musicians. The Piano Roll is a note editing interface found in today’s most popular DAWs. So you’ll be learning in an environment that you can actually use to create music in your every-day music-making process.

Create Original Music

Throughout this online music composition course, you’ll be writing your own original music in our online music production studio. Every few lessons, you’ll be prompted to take what you’ve learned and write a drum pattern, bassline, chord progression, or melody. Sometimes you’ll be asked to write them together, or create a full beat from scratch.

By the end of Building Blocks, you’ll have plenty of original music to jump-start new songs. And our MIDI Export feature will make it easier for you to transfer your music from Building Blocks to your DAW-of-choice.

Interactive Ear Training

Unlike other music production courses, Building Blocks is more than just a series of videos. In almost every lesson, you’ll encounter an interactive ear training challenge that takes place in our online music production studio.

You’ll recreate hidden drum patterns, basslines, chord progressions, and melodies by ear. Every time you place a note correctly, your ear will get a little bit stronger. And eventually, you’ll be able to start creating the music you hear and feel.

What Exactly Will I Learn?

The treasured sound of 1950s electronics re-created

Dials is a detailed digital translation of a unique combination of 1950s electronic music hardware from composer and YouTuber Hainbach’s studio.

It is made with the rich sound and experimental spirit of early electronic music studios in mind.

The basis of Dials is a re-purposed German vacuum tube radio broadcast device paired with a heavy-duty American bandpass filter. They form a channel strip like no other.

The scientific and radio background of the equipment provides a tone that sets it apart, whether you are processing vocals, drums, or any other instrument.

Due to the built-in compressor, it is perfectly suited to lend your voice-over the “larger than life” feeling of great recordings of the past or make your drums sound like they could get past the door at Berghain.

Speaking of which: if you are feeling adventurous, feed it impulses and hear it roar like Stockhausen at a Gabber party.

While its roots are in the past, this is a truly modern device with an unparalleled sound. It can be used to sweeten your music or to experiment – it can even become an instrument in your hands.

Realistic Stomp Generator

Like its brothers, El Clapo and Le Snappet, Das Boot can generate super-realistic foot stomps, from a single spoiled baby to a stadium filled with sports fans waiting for Queen to rock them.

Meticulously recorded with three mic positions and packed with the same powerful features found in El Clapo and Le Snappet, Das Boot gives you full control of mic placement, width along with compression and EQ. Of course, there’s the ever-popular Slop control that lets you adjust how tight your loose your stomping will be.

Das Boot also features a CPU-saving round-robin setting and a 12-step sequencer that lets you create up to 12 patterns.

Das Boot is designed to make it simple to create stomp tracks of any size. From a single stomp to an entire crowd, you determine how the stomps sound.

You determine the group size. You determine how sloppy they are. You control the microphone mix. We sampled multiple stompers at multiple layers and a bunch of round robins, from 3 different mic perspectives. The result is natural-sounding stomps no matter how large the crowd.

Control with MIDI or the built-in step sequencer that lets you automate between 12 user-created patterns.

Features

• Easily generate ultra-realistic foot stomps, from a single angry baby to a stadium filled with sports fans.
• Great for music and film post-production.
• Three adjustable mic positions; close/mid and room.
• Close and Room mic controls each feature a fully adjustable compressor with mix knob, 4-band EQ, and width control.
• “Slop” control lets you adjust how much beer your sports fans have had.
• Simple, straightforward interface with access to advanced controls including velocity-sensing MIDI curve control, panning, timing, layer, and CPU-saving round-robin settings.
• Built-in step sequencer for easily creating complex (or simple) patterns.

Split any song, fast

Simple Stems is a quick and easy way to decompose any audio into it’s constituent parts. Leveraging the well established Spleeter algorithm by Deezer, you can separate songs into three different ways:

• vocals and accompaniment (2 stems).
• vocals, drums, bass, and other (4 stems).
• vocals, drums, bass, piano and other (5 stems).

The results are stunning, though more complicated mixes and live recordings are not always perfectly split.

Drag-and-drop functionality

Simple Stems is extremely easy to use! It loads as a plugin (VST/AU/AAX) or standalone. To get new stems, simply drop your audio on the splitter and wait a moment for the stems to appear. You can preview individual stems and then drag the stems directly to your DAW, desktop, or files.

A great addition to your workflow

Your tools should serve you, not the other way around. With Simple Stems, you can get new stems EASILY without leaving your flow or hopping online! Files are automatically created in a folder right beside the original audio, so you can always find them later.

Seismic Bass & Percussion

Rumble is a CUBE expansion that blends massive bass with earth-shattering percussion for a hybrid sample library completely off the Richter scale.

WARNING: Cube engine required. This does NOT come with CUBE.

Compatible with CUBE MINI as well!

Designed to shake your productions to their core, Rumble comes packed with thunderous percussion hits, growling analog synth bass, experimental grooves, and hard-hitting pulses.

Perfect for modern electronic and pop productions that call for cinematic, seat-rattling low-end with precision, clarity, and punch.

FEATURES

• 40 Sound Sources
  • Multi-sampled cinematic percussion hits, recorded with a range of articulations by one of LA’s premier percussionists, Hal Rosenfeld. Experimental bass sounds exploring the past, present, and future of bass monosynth sound design.
• 120 Presets
  • A stellar collection of detailed and meticulously crafted bass and percussion presets, including designs by Venus Theory and DataBroth.

Energy Panner uses the intensity of a sound to control its movement.

From traditional stereo to immersive, this plugin enables artists to add dynamic depth to their panning techniques without any effort or additional routing.

Sound Intensity Controls Panning
With Energy Panner, the sound intensity controls the panner, creating movement that reacts to sound. Imagine drums moving at the beat, synth notes that move on attack, among many other behaviours. From music to audio post, from stereo to Dolby Atmos, Energy Panner is a plugin that you definitely want in your toolset.

Panning Mode
The Pan mode is essentially a normal end-to-end particle-based panning. This type of panning effect changes the position of the sound source between two points (start point -> endpoint) previously defined by you. Therefore, the greater the energy of the input signal the greater the shift from the starting point to the endpoint.

Sliding Mode
Whenever the audio signal reaches a certain level (threshold value), the sound source moves on a trajectory that you define. As opposed to pan mode, the sound source does not return to the starting point as soon as the signal level drops. The sound source will freeze that position until the audio signal exceeds the threshold value again, leading to a new shift of the sound source in the dome space.

MAIN FEATURES

• Stereo, Immersive & Binaural Outputs: From stereo, 7.1, HOA to Binaural and Dolby Atmos, Energy Panner gives you several output options based on virtual microphones technology.
• Dynamic Movement: Easily set how the sounds will move. For instance, will they move from the speakers position to the centre or will they move clockwise starting from a custom position?
• Sidechain: Use external signals to control the effect of the plugin instead of using the track’s sound for this.
• Visualization Dome: Track every single movement the sounds are making through the main component of the plugin’s UI: the dome.
• Randomization: Running out of ideas? Don’t worry! The Energy Panner has a randomize option that outputs a new result each time you click it.
• Absolute Control: Energy Panner brings you all the options you need to have complete control over how the sounds are moving in the panoramic field.

Stereo Bass Utility

Lowtility 2 is a low-end filter and mid/side utility plugin. It lets you cleanly cut the low frequencies from your mix, and modify the stereo width of the low end.

Lowtility is a stereo tool designed to control the low end of your mix. It features a variable-slope low pass filter, along with a separate section for finely tuning the stereo width of the bass frequencies.

With the stereo meters, you can visualise how the left and right channels interact, making sure you don’t have any phase-cancellation issues.

MAIN FEATURES

Width Adjustment

Lowtility 2 lets you adjust the stereo signal of your low-end to clean up bass frequencies. Choose to reduce the width, or make it mono keeping either the mid-channel or one of the left and right channels.

Low Cut

Cut the low frequencies using a choice of 4 different filters, from a gentle 12dB roll-off, to a steep 48dB slice.

Stereo Meters

Lowtility 2 features both a Goniometer and a Correlation meter, visually displaying the phase and stereo information of your signal. The meters can be switched between the full band or just the low band.

Luxor is the key if you want an instrument to stand out and spread in the mix.

It will scoop your high frequencies to the edge of the stereo field using a sidechained haas effect, while the mid-highs will be made bright with a in-house tape distortion algorithm. The resulting signals will be glued together using an adaptative broadband compression.

Luxor can be used from 10-20% to 80-100% wet, whether you want to unleash the power of a lead, or to gently highlight a pad.

A broad range of controls are here to help you tailor the sound you need:

• Dry Wet allows you to blend the original signal with the one at the end of the processing chain, while Out Gain controls the output volume.
• Width controls the intensity of the haas effect on the upper-end of the spectrum.
• Character sets the amount of tape coloration and broadband compression.

Drum Patterns, Basslines, Chord Progressions, and Melodies: Learn how to create these four essential elements of music in an engaging DAW environment with Building Blocks.

Building Blocks is an online music theory and composition course tailored to the needs of DAW-based music makers. Starting from the very beginning, you’ll embark on a video game-style interactive journey in an online DAW. And along the way, you’ll build real-life music-making skills with an intuitive step-by-step process until you’re making your own original beats from scratch.

Building Blocks 1 & 2

Save by buying Building Blocks 1 & 2 together, and learn how to create all four essential elements of music composition: Drum Patterns, Basslines, Chord Progressions, and Melodies.

Modernized Music Theory

Building Blocks has thrown out the traditional music theory rule book and created a new approach that’s tailored to the needs of DAW-based musicians.

Traditional music theory takes place in the centuries-old music staff and is loaded with information that doesn’t always apply to a DAW environment. So Building Blocks takes a streamlined need-to-know approach, removing the music staff and replacing it with the Piano Roll.

Learning music theory in the Piano Roll is crucial for DAW-based musicians. The Piano Roll is a note editing interface found in today’s most popular DAWs. So you’ll be learning in an environment that you can actually use to create music in your every-day music-making process.

Create Original Music

Throughout this online music composition course, you’ll be writing your own original music in our online music production studio. Every few lessons, you’ll be prompted to take what you’ve learned and write a drum pattern, bassline, chord progression, or melody. Sometimes you’ll be asked to write them together, or create a full beat from scratch.

By the end of Building Blocks, you’ll have plenty of original music to jump-start new songs. And our MIDI Export feature will make it easier for you to transfer your music from Building Blocks to your DAW-of-choice.

Interactive Ear Training

Unlike other music production courses, Building Blocks is more than just a series of videos. In almost every lesson, you’ll encounter an interactive ear training challenge that takes place in our online music production studio.

You’ll recreate hidden drum patterns, basslines, chord progressions, and melodies by ear. Every time you place a note correctly, your ear will get a little bit stronger. And eventually, you’ll be able to start creating the music you hear and feel.
