Boy Harsher
"I love these plug-ins. They fill a major gap in my studio. They're familiar and easy to use out of the gate, but there's a ton of added features the deeper you dig. My favorite flanger I've used, hands down."
Richard Furch
Mixer - Prince, Frank Ocean, Tyrese
"Often, I need a harmonic processor to add extra liveliness and presence in a sound that might not have been recorded with enough of that information. Bus Exciter adds just the right edge and is tweakable in super musical and straight forward ways. This will see a lot of use here. Great job, guys!"
Tom Lord Alge
Mixing Engineer (The Rolling Stones, Pink, Peter Gabriel)
"They sound GREAT, are easy to use and the Software Center is the best one out there! This morning, when I booted Pro-Tools a message popped up and said updates for Arturia plug-ins are available. If only all manufacturer's did this. Keep up the GREAT work!"
