The EMP Toolbox brings together the plugins and presets Grammy winner Dave Audé uses to give his mixes, remixes and masters sheen, punch and polish.

The collection was curated in close collaboration with Dave Audé, whose remixes include work for Beyoncé, Madonna, Coldplay, U2, Lady Gaga and many others. It includes the C6 multiband compressor, MV2 with downward and upward compression, TransX Multiband for transient shaping, MaxxVolume, the H-Delay and SuperTap delays, and the Element 2.0 analogue synth for effects and ear candy. Rhythmic delays can be synced, MIDI Learn allows hands-on hardware control, and signature presets by Dave Audé provide quick starting points.
