And why you should be using it in your music productions, no matter the genre. I’ve always wondered why dialing low end can be so tricky. Add too much bass to a track, the overall mix loses clarity. Too little, and it can feel thin and lifeless. The Little Labs Voice of God (or “VOG”) wasn’t designed to solve these specific problems, but it has become a go-to secret weapon for producers looking to strike that perfect balance. I wanted to understand what makes this little black box so special, and why top engineers swear by it. What I’ve learned?…

Tuva is a standalone desktop application that helps music producers organize, classify, and search their audio samples, MIDI files, and DAW project files from a single interface. My sample and loop content gets scattered across hard drives, so any help with organizing this stuff is welcome. If, like me, you’ve accumulated tens of thousands of files over the years (downloaded sample packs, old project files, MIDI sketches saved for later), you know how quickly your impromptu folder structures can stop being useful. Tuva replaces the classic folder-based organization workflow with a library that you can filter, tag, and search. The app…

Developer Urban Kits has released Plural, which is a free pitch-shifting sequencer plugin for macOS and Windows. Urban Kits is known to provide tools and sounds that help musicians create music from the ground up. What I mean is that Urban Kits offers products with no barriers to entry; they are free, easy to use, and typically very well-suited to bedroom producers and beatmakers. In late 2025, Urban Kits released Bedroom Guitar, a free sampled nylon guitar plugin that works well for pop, lo-fi, hip-hop, ambient music, and more. The developer’s latest release is Plural, a free pitch-shifting sequencer, available…

Audio Plugin Deals is throwing a huge sale this month, and you can now get their April Mega Bundle for $9.99. The original price is a whooping $507, so to say this is a massive discount (98% off) is almost an understatement. If you’re into cinematic and ambient atmospheres or on the lookout for percussive sounds to bring life into your productions, you might want to take a closer look at this deal. The April Mega Bundle features five versatile tools ranging from synths to sample libraries with integrated FX processing. Please note that you require the full version of…

Midifex has released Plugoff, a free app for macOS and Windows that scans, organizes, and offloads your audio plugins. It supports AU, VST, VST3, and AAX formats. Plugoff is currently free, but the developer stated that it will become a paid product in the future. So, now is the perfect time to get it. When you test roughly ten plugins a week like I do, plugin folders get messy fast. Things pile up, you forget to install a bunch of plugins, and suddenly the DAW’s plugin list is three times longer than it should be. I’ve been using the Audio…

Audio Assault has released Amp Locker 98, a free guitar amp simulation plugin dressed head-to-toe in Windows 98 aesthetics. Yes, it’s an April Fools’ release, but no, it’s not a joke. Well, it is, but it’s also a real guitar amp plugin. If you grew up in the late 90s like me, this will be a huge nostalgia trip. The whole product page is styled like a 1998 website, with things like visitor counters, forum links, and a note that the site is “best viewed in Internet Explorer 4.0 at 800×600 resolution.” I honestly can’t believe that almost 30 years…

Fantamidi is a step sequencer, synth, and MIDI generator toolkit meant to help producers try different musical ideas effectively.

Additionally, Fantamidi boasts a melody and bass generation section, drag-and-drop MIDI export, a simple synth engine, and powerful controls to reshape chord structures and arpeggios in real-time. Fantamidi works with macOS and Windows and comes in VST3 and AU formats. The plugin comes as a free or paid version, wherein the paid version supports manual…
