TM700v2

I use several tape emulation plugins, I have been using the TM700 more often! Sounds Good!

TapeZoo

TAPE ZOO took a little while to figure out but now that I have, I can hear how useful it is on my parallel drum bus, making synths more exciting, and shaping groups of backing vocals. The presets provide very good settings to start with.

LocNess V2

LocNess V2 is pretty great, Just put it on some normal-sounding guitars and took them over the edge.

Goliath

Goliath is easy and intuitive to use but the flexibility it has makes it one of those go-to plugins that could have a use in every mix.

Goliath

All I can say is WOW. Such a great-sounding plugin. This is going right into my go-to shortlist of saturation/distortion plugins!

Goliath

I recently added Tone-Empire's Goliath plugin to my workflow...and then retired 3 other plugins! It's that good! Every source I ran thru Goliath came out better... punchier, thicker, more attitude... it's a no-brainer-tone-machine!

Model 5000

Brings the op-amp punch of a classic 2 buss compressor to bang up to date and can also handle modern operating levels unlike many other emulations of the same circuit. Try it on your drums - it will make you smile!

OptoRED

Don't be fooled by the simple GUI - this is a living, breathing compressor with mojo and side chain options that seriously extend the abilities of a tried and tested dynamic circuit design.

LocNess V2

We all work fast these days and to have something that can instantly represent all of the main analog-esque food groups with just a few twists is a joy to have in the toolbox. I downloaded, installed, and started twisting breakbeats in just minutes.

Compressor

This is one of those compressors that the more you use, the more things you'll find it works well for.

Tone Empire

I purchased this plugin on a whim and was instantly sold on it within a few minutes of demoing it. It right away enhanced any track I used it on that I had to spend time on tweaking. The warmth and sweetening that it added to my tracks made all the difference!

Black Q

Black Q is Dripping with Vintage analog tube tone!!! A wonderful EQ with that vintage vibe from back in the day. It just adds so much color & character to anything I put thru it with a nice selection of start-up presets for Mastering, Drums, Guitars, Piano, Vocals, Synths, etc. It's a steal at this intro price!! Tone-Empire once again hits it outta the park!! Love it!!!!!

Goliath

I must say that this is one of the best saturation plugins I have ever used till now. Ditched all other saturators for Tone Empire Goliath instantly. A must buy for every mixing/mastering engineer out there.

Black Q

Came across one of the finest Analog style Tube EQ's (BlackQ) by Tone Empire with sweet analog warmth and colour. Extra saturation can be achieved via the drive knob as well. Put it on my mixbuss and the whole mix instantly transformed with a beautiful analog vibe. This would be my go-to analog style EQ from now onwards on every mix.
