Audio Nerds! – FREE SoundToys Plug-In!

SoundToys is giving away their new compressor/distortion plug-in! No strings attached! I personally haven’t been able to use it, but SoundToys never disappoints with their weird but useful plugs. Did I mention it’s free?

Here’s a little background behind the Devil-Loc (AKA Shure Level-Loc) from Soundtoys:

Essentially a distorting compressor but so much more, it’s really quite simple but also a bit supernatural. Because the release time of the compression is effected by the input level (like the Level-Loc) it’s a bit hard to predict exactly what will happen the first time you work with it. Luckily with just two knobs, you can find the magic spot for your track fairly quickly and you’ll be going for that sound more and more. Don’t be fooled by it’s simple front panel, this plug-in has a lot more cool sounds than you’d expect out of two knobs. Get crushing kick drums, to almost rhythmic level sweeps with the crazing sucking compression, to blitzed out blasting beat loops. Drive it hard and you get straight hardware sounding break-up and drive. It’s a devil in disguise, and the devil’s in the details, and the devil made us do it and all those other devil references.
