I just edited an interview where a Grammy-nominated producer was talking about surviving sessions in the studio with this (that’s not out yet, hence my secrecy). The advantage here is, working in that suite you can come up with some combined effects that allow you to tweak something to perfection and have quick recall on it. A big one that I’ll admit I mostly missed at first is the EffectRack.

There are a couple of reasons Soundtoys stuff is one of those go-to sets. The public beta is out now – and all Soundtoys software has an unlimited 30-day free trial version, including with the beta, so you can give it a try. So VST3 with Apple Silicon is especially important for those users in particular. Of course, if you’re a Cubase 12 user with a new Apple Silicon Mac, you may have found yourself very much minus proper support for this plug-in suite. (“Hey, guys! I like to smear Decapitator on my face every night before I go to bed at 4AM after messing with the modular to reduce acne and stay looking young!”) That was about right, yeah? There’s a project that’s not out yet where I really couldn’t have gotten by with the vocal recordings without Soundtoys 5. I mean, seriously, I do use their stuff a lot. And since I use their stuff an embarrassing amount of the time, let’s round up some tips. Soundtoys VST3 public beta is here, for both macOS and Windows but crucially with Apple Silicon VST3 support on the Mac.
