Rando is so freakin sick. Its one of my all time favorite plugins. It needs some development, but the dev's are on it. Releasing great updates. Its already an incredible tool, just needs some refinement to take it to the next level. i would say its mandatory for any sample hoarder, or sample based music maker. Endless inspiration.

 

I bought the hardware version.

 

Airwindows released many plugins this year (like every year), these are my favs:
ADClip8 (even if I still prefer ADClip7 for many tasks because they're different beasts)
Stonefire
BiquadNonLin
Consolidated (the holy grail of plugins)
Discontinuity
Meter (it helped me a lot to understand some key concepts and to improve my mixing skills)
CreamCoat
Dubly2/3
ToTape8
Zoom
Srsly3
Air4
Hypersoft
StonefireComp

 

what is it ?

 

Presumably this: Airwindows Consolidated

It's an all-in-one Airwindows plug-in, so you don't have to install the hundreds of them separately. Very good stuff.

 

I Like

Synestia - by Rhizomatic Synthesis [Multi-Effects]



P440 Sweet Spot - by Pulsar Modular [Magic]

This, plus separate input and output gain

 

VST3 is now an Airwindows thing because of it I believe.

 

For me, notables from this years additions to my tool box are:

Schwabe Digital Gold clip track
Schwabe Digital Gold / Orange clip updates
Izotope Plasma
Kive Nfuse
Undertone Unfairchild
Sonimus - N Console
Soundtheory Kraftur
Cradle Orion


Old but gold..

Make Believe Sontec EQ
Make Believe Bundle
Wiess Bundle (DS1 in particular)
Eventide Split EQ
Pulsar Modular Massive
Pulsar Modular Mu
VISION 4x
Wave Factory Spectre
Wave Factory Track spacer


I also just had my arse handed to me over the BF sales so the below (To justify the hole in my pocket!)

Acustica:
Lace
Green
Ivory
Mystic
Jam2
Teal
Zafrre
Erin
El Rey

And only one im still on the fence about after purchase is the SSL fusion bundle, I only paid 47 quid for them so cant complain!

Not often mentioned but Kiloheart's 'Shaper', 'Filter Table' and 'Shaper Table'.

 

KHS non-linear filter sounds awesome

 

I tried presswerk few month ago from u-he during mastering of one of my tracks on the master couple times instead of my all the time Tyrannosaurus classic master limiter and during my rehabilitation from using it alot
I like it a lot and it was handy and helpful...
I also do like infected mushroom plugins a lot the whole 2024 bundle!
Also few weeks ago I tried the VST version of the Avalon VT737 at my friend's Studio and my first impressions was very interesting and cool to work with...

 

For me.. VPS Avenger 2 and I have loved the improvements to Logic Pro 11. I think 2025 has to be the year where I streamline and really get to know the mass of plugins I already have.

 

Kindly help. me out here, guys.
If you had to choose between KClip, Saturate by newfangled audio, Ash by Acustica AudioOR Gold clip for a Bass DI, which one would you go for?

Regards.

 

Kclip. Its the lightest of the bunch, and has the benefit of having dry/wet + MB. for a bass DI, its more than sufficient and has more control over tonal shaping. ASH is arguably the best sounding, but they are all great ( i own all lol)

 

Awesome. Thanks for the reply. Since you own 'em all, if you had a choice of using either ASH or KClip, which would be your bet?Primarility for Bass DI but can be used for vocals, Drums,,,etc?

Goal: Great Sound
LOUD

 

There's also SIR Audio Tools' "Standart Clip", which I own and frequently use.
It's a really nice lightweight Clipper plugin.
But I am also waiting for the next sale on KClip, as it is a really good one, also.

 

Korg ARP 2600
Synplant 2
Sumo

Harmony Bloom

too many to mention VCV rack modules

Bettermaker C502V
AP Spectra 610

Aberrant Lair

 

Sequenza, a 20mo game changer for a new way of composing (mac only). Free, no ads, smart, deep, not intuitive but seductive... a marvel.

Edit: no, sorry, it's not a plugin.

As plugins, I would say Aalto and Kaivo from Madrona.
