AM I AUDIO has released I AM CHOIR, a choir instrument that turns your vocal performance into a choir part while following your lyrics, melody, phrasing, and timing. The plugin is not a standard vocal multiplier or a simple choir pad instrument. It is a timbre-transfer tool that takes an input performance and recreates it using the sound of a recorded choir. I AM CHOIR runs locally inside your DAW, with no cloud processing and no audio leaving your computer. It is also a perpetual license, with no subscriptions, tokens, or generation credits. The plugin includes three choir models: Gospel…

Modern Melodic Techno lives on energy, rich harmony and emotion, in the world of artists like Anyma, Artbat and Cassian. This breakdown pulls a full track apart into five lessons: the gated vocal stack, the saw lead, the drums, the bassline, and the background layers. Get these five working together and the track already feels finished. Lesson 1: The Gated Vocal Stack The catchiest sound in the track, and it is really three layers doing three jobs. Key settings: Gated Vocal 1: the real vocal, the core of the sound Gated Vocal 2: a support layer from sine and noise…

To enter the giveaway, leave a comment below, and we will randomly pick five winners from the comments. We have already run a few Bjango giveaways on BPB, and I really like their software.

Box of Rules has released Picking Fingers, a free bass guitar processing plugin for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Picking Fingers is designed to process a bass recording played one way so it sounds as if it were played the other way. In other words, you can push fingerstyle bass toward a picked sound, or move a picked part toward a fingerstyle tone. I have to say the plugin and website have that vibe-coded look to me, and that has become a real filtering problem for BPB. The inbox is full of new plugins doing familiar things with less attention to…

Gospel Musicians has released Gospel Drummer, a virtual acoustic drum instrument for gospel, contemporary worship, R&B, neo-soul, and urban music production. The instrument focuses on the kind of expressive playing associated with modern gospel drumming: tight kicks, musical snares, warm cymbals, lively ghost notes, energetic fills, and a strong room sound. Gospel Drummer includes two sampled acoustic gospel drum kits with 10 velocity layers and three round robins for more natural variation. It comes with a 6 GB source library delivered as roughly 1 GB of lossless-compressed content. You also get a large MIDI groove library with variations, fills, and…

A Drum Studio Inside Your DAW Recording real drums is complicated. You need: A drummer A drum kit Microphones Preamps A good room And somewhere you can make a lot of noise. A drum sampler gives you another option. Real drums are recorded in a studio… Then turned into an instrument you can play inside your DAW. You can program a completely new drum performance. Replace badly recorded drums. Layer samples with real drums. Or completely change the character of a song. The important part is not finding the most realistic drum sampler. It is finding the right drum…

Want to know how to make Afro Tech? The fastest way to learn is to reverse-engineer a track that works. This breakdown pulls apart a HotLap-style record that hit Beatport #1, blending Afro Tech, Melodic Techno, and House into five parts: the drums, the bassline, the stabs, the ambience, and the arrangement. The Drums: Layer the Groove The groove lives in the drums, and it comes from many simple parts locking together, not one busy loop. The velocity movement is what makes it breathe instead of sounding programmed. Key settings: Punchy kick as the foundation, owning the low end An…

SlapAsSound has released GroovEmu Arranger, a free Windows system that turns REAPER into a live arranger-style workstation. This one comes from Marko Karja, a developer from Estonia who has sent BPB some unusual free plugin experiments over the years. His product pages usually have a strong sense of humor, but under the playful presentation here is a real tool that could be useful if you like building arrangements in REAPER and then playing them more like an instrument. The basic idea behind this one is similar to that of a hardware arranger keyboard. You prepare an arrangement, play chords with…

TubeOhm has released TO-Sampler, a free sampler plugin and standalone instrument for Windows. The main reason I’m featuring this one in the news is that we recently covered SynthEdit 1.6, which finally added native macOS support after decades of being a Windows-first plugin development environment. TO-Sampler is Windows-only for now, so it is a good example of where that SynthEdit update could be useful. Plugins like this might get macOS versions in the future thanks to the newer export options, and it is interesting to see a fresh SynthEdit release arrive right after that update. It also feels like a…
