I just bought all of their plugins for 407$. Made the mistake to try them out in my new song and really liked the sound and usability. And after that it's hard to go back and replace with something else.

What are your favourites?

And there is a pi day sale right now.

Trem Control was very easy to use with great results. Wanted to end one synthline with some tremolo/panning stuff and it took maybe 2-5 minutes to make.

Jeepers. I bought them all back in V1. Vulf Compressor, Wow Control, Trem Control, Tupe... Lossy is really cool... Tone Control and Tilt are cool and unique takes on EQ tools... all of them!

I just learned about them recently and picked up Lohi, Vulf Compressor, and Wow Control this week (during the sale). I am starting a Synthwave project this weekend and plan to experiment with all three plugins on this track.

I am not a big fan of their UI design, but I've read some very enthusiastic reviews about their sound and utility, so looking forward to trying them out.

Love vulf compressor with the input down all the way. The compressor sounds great, but I don’t like the saturation of it (at least not in conjunction with the compressor.

Tiltshift is nice. I use it a lot for audio fixes in rx9.

My favorites so far are faraday limiter and tupe. Faraday’s transformer algo is superb, a bit more in-you-face than kazrog’s true iron, but it just works. Tupe is astounding for toneshaping. The pre and post filters are quick to use and work very nicely with all of the saturation modes. In addition to tape compression it basically does Phil’s cascade better than Phil’s cascade. I wouldn’t say the algos are extremely accurate, but they sound amazing and break up just like I want them to when driven hard.

That being said, I absolutely despise their vintage hipster promo videos.

I've used Canopener for years, even before I was into production. Put it on my headphones listening chain because it was just so much more pleasant to have proper crossfeed, especially while studying. Listener fatigue gone.

Before that, I used the excellent Toneboosters Isone. A plugin I dearly wish they would bring back. It was just so good.

Absolutely dreadful UI design imho. Function follows form. Hipster design. May look stylish at first, but usability suffers. Take the slanted slider control e.g. In what world is that better to read than a classic horizontal one? Then the multitude of fonts, font sizes, labels and knobs where it is not even clear whether something is just decoration or an actual control you can use… a confusing mess to the eyes (at least mine).
But each to their own…

I like the UI design. Very easy to use. I don't do fast live sliding etc. so can't comment on that. Sometimes the "hipster" graphics makes it difficult to see what is tweakable. But after a while (like a minute) you get used to it.

I love Vulf Compressor and use it quite often for super dirty drums and such. I demoed the rest of their stuff back than and only got the limiter and Vulf. The rest was already covered by other tools (plus they are a bit pricey). The company is very nice to deal with too.

I would recommend dialing in the reference level in Vulf depending on your input. It makes about as much difference to the output as almost any other parameter. Enjoy your new plugins.
Don't F**K with Mr. Zero.

They have become my go-to plugins because they're so easy to use and well designed. Goodhertz feels premium. :)

I’m not affiliated with them. They’re great folks. If you’re not already using VULF and TUPE you’re missing out. Seriously seriously great stuff.
