Monster Plug-ins: Audio Damage

There the world is replete with companies making ‘utility’ plug-ins, emulating hardware to give digital mixing a more old-school feel. Audio Damage is not one of them. Audio Damage makes effects and instruments unique to the digital environment, helping artists create new and unique sounds that stand out from the pack of producers using Logic and Ableton pre-sets. Their effects catalogue ranges from the beat chopping Replicant and multi-FX Discord 3 (which are pretty crazy in their own right) to more experimental plug-ins like the Automaton, using buffer effects driven by a cellular automata sequencer. Their instruments are no less creative, including the Phosphor polysynth and the Axon drum synth. “We design plug-ins we’d like to have” says co-founder Chris Randall, “We get a wacky idea (e.g. driving an FM percussion synth with an artificial neural network sequencer), research to see if it’s been done, and figure out how to do it.” All that, and AD products come with a no questions asked money back guarantee.
