I have this on the drum bus then I record some variations on an empty audio track and then take the best bits and fit them into my drum loops to add some ear candy. And I use beat repeat as a cheat code for drum fills. I use the time, filter and volume effects the most but the new Crush effect has a preset that adds air to a track, and the Liquid effect is a strong tool for sound design. From using it lightly or to the extreme, I always have fun seeing where it will take a sound or loop. Shaperbox 3 is easily my favourite multi-effects plugin. It has to be Cableguys’ Shaperbox 3 and Beat Repeat. Plus, it can be used as stand-alone software so if you use software like VCV racks, you can still keep the benefits of the analyser without being bound to your DAW. I love how simple and flexible it is, I can adjust what type of analysers I need depending on if I’m doing sound design or if I’m mixing down a track. It’s such a convenient analyser, allowing me to see everything that’s happening but not distract or obstruct my creative or mixing process. The most recent plugin I’ve bought is MiniMeters. I’m making more of an effort to collaborate and there’s nothing worse than when you try to open a project and you’re missing plugins or samples so, for now, I’ve downsized to a laptop, hard drive and field recorder so that I can be more hybrid. Now I’m trying to find the happy medium of working from home, studio hotel, or airport and still have the same level of creative output no matter the space I’m in. When I had my first studio with all my hardware and synths and effects, I felt like I couldn’t make music unless I was in that space.
