Wizoo releases WizooVerb W2

There are reverbs and then there are reverbs. There are the garden-variety reverbs thrown in with most hardware and software these days. Then there are the kind that really qualify as professional tools—typically with a price tag to match. WizooVerb W2 is truly a world-class processor that surpasses other software and hardware reverbs, and at an incredible value. WizooVerb W2 owes its incredible sound to the combination of separate reverb technologies, each of which is awesome in it’s own right. And flexible structure and editing puts it totally over the top as a sound design tool.

Voxengo adds new FX plugin to their product line

·0 comments·

Voxengo LF-Punch PC VST plug-in is an FX processor for music and sounds where low-frequency thump and punch are most welcome, and where distortion is applied specifically to bring the bass kicks to life. LF-Punch is a pretty specific FX not suitable for everything, but we felt like there is a lack of such effects specially designed for serious contemporary music producers.
