Purpose-built audio plugins

For mixing and production

Like they've been living in your rack for decades

Tapeminded builds VST instruments and effects for mixing and production. The person behind it writes software and is a certified audio engineer. Both show in the plugins: the DSP is tested like software, the controls are laid out like studio gear. Each plugin does one thing well, with ranges chosen by ear.

A number only goes on screen after it has been tested. Root Recognition was tested in more than 7,000 measurements on real kick samples. If the plugin is not confident about a root, it says so and lets you decide.

The basics are the same in every plugin: instant A/B, undo and redo, alt-click to reset and double-click to type a value. Every plugin runs without an internet connection on one license key, and updates within the version you bought are free. The full plugin can be tried for 14 days and returned within 30 days of purchase.

Kick and bass: finally getting a room together

Kick and bass share the same low frequencies. On their own both sound fine, together they mask each other and the low end loses definition. Their energy stacks up whenever they play together, which eats up headroom in the mix.

KickUncover is a dynamic low-end carver that solves this by clearing the kick's fundamental from the bass, but only while the kick is playing. As soon as the kick fades, the bass returns to full level.

The result is a clean low end and more headroom.
