first being the release of komplete 13. this is native instruments flagship plugin collection
there are four bundles that you can choose from which are komplete 13
select komplete 13 komplete 13 ultimate and komplete 13 ultimate collectors edition

the included plugins range from 16 in the select and up to 122 and the ultimate collector's edition
some of the new plugins in native instruments komplete 13 are the updated guitar rig 6 which
has been redesigned with new amps new effects and other ways to sculpt your guitar tone
and you also get super 8 which is a modern polyphonic synthesizer plus there's the noir
plugin which is a grand piano and there are many other additions and updates in native instruments
komplete 13. and while native instruments was added they've also released maschine plus which
is a standalone production system similar to an akai mpc you can record into it sequence with it
and it even includes 35 onboard effects maschine plus can be used as an all-in-one recording studio
a drum sampler a synthesizer and you can do all of this without the need to have it connected to
a computer you get nine instruments included plus the 35 effects and thousands of included sounds
of course you have the ability to expand this so you're not stuck with the factory settings
and also to note it's not too cheap this costs around fourteen hundred dollars but if the idea
of having the freedom and portability of an all-in-one production system appeals to you
this might be worth the money up next in audio tech news is the release of izotope neoverb this
is an intelligent reverb plugin featuring an ai powered workflow to help you quickly
find the right space for your vocals and your instruments neoverbs reverb assistant gives you
a great starting point and you can also combine up to three different reverb engines at once
either through the assistant or the blend pad interface other highlights include
the intelligent pre and post eq's that make suggestions to shape and tame reverb in the mix
neoverb is available on mac and windows systems with a starting price of 199 dollars
you can also get this in the new izotope music production suite 4 which also includes
rx8 standard ozone 9 advanced neutron 3 advanced nectar 3 plus more next up in audio tech news is
the release of softube's model 72 plugin this is a mini moog emulation which is a classic mono synth
the interface on this one looks great and it can be inspiring just with the looks but the
emphasis is really on the sound quality softube claims to have captured everything down to the
smallest detail including all of its quirks they've also added some modern features like
doubling and spread to create a stereo like sound image and you can get model 72 on mac or windows
with a starting price of just 99 but you can get a free trial to give it a test run first

now before i get into this episode's plugins worth checking out i just want to ask if you're
enjoying this episode so far can you please give it a thumbs up it really helps my channel
out and i appreciate it so much now this week's plugins worth checking out and the first one is
plugin boutique's scaler 2 scalar 2 makes finding chords and progressions easy it's a comprehensive
but easy to use toolbox that can help you up your music creation you can find your current project's
key and then make decisions on progressions based on that key and it also has hundreds of keys that
you can choose from to build progressions with using the built-in sequencer you can
use scaler 2 to control other vst instruments or you can use it as an instrument itself
with the built-in sounds this is a huge program and there's so much more that it can do so check
the link in the description for even more information on plugin boutique's scaler 2.
the next plugin worth checking out is waves abbey road studio 3 and this is a plug-in
that i've been using quite a bit lately while i'm working on my ep and what it does is it puts you
in a virtual control room specifically the studio 3 at abbey road you put this plug-in at the end
of your master bus chain and you can listen to how your mix would sound in their control room
where numerous hit records and songs have been created there are three different sets
of monitors that you can switch between there's near mid and far and each one has its own sound
also if you have the waves nx system it can track your head movement so if you turn to the left
it's going to sound like you've just turned to the left and you don't need to have that
system though i don't have it and this still works fine for me what this plug-in really helps with
is making sure that your mix will translate which is a huge problem for music producers
especially home studio producers like me that don't have the greatest acoustic rooms to mix in
you get three versions of this plugin there's the stereo 5.1 stereo and 7.1 stereo but there's no
mono option if mixed translation has been an issue for you like it has been for me
then check out the waves abbey road studio 3 plugin so i'm gonna do a bit of a demo here
and i'm not sure how it's going to sound coming through as it's not going to sound the greatest
and that's the point of this is it doesn't sound the greatest but if you can make your mix
sound great within this plug-in then your mix is likely going to sound great elsewhere
now it's time for the free plugins of the week and first up this week
is scandiclavia from fanan team this is a virtual analog organ that's equipped with
two 32-bit waveform engines which generate two organ module emulations and each one has
their own color precision organ and hammond style electric organ scandiclavia is inspired
by the clavia nord organ sound although it uses a slightly different synthesis approach
it's available as a 32-bit or as a 64-bit plug-in on windows only
the next free plugin of the week is from tek'it audio this is RECsoprano 2. this
one is based on original samples of a soprano recorder that was sampled by mahai sorahan the
instrument features traditional tuning envelope control velocity parameters polyphonic voices
reverb and you can even see the fingerings display while playing it it's available as a 32-bit or
64-bit plug-in on both windows and mac and if you want to check out even more free vst plugins
