This plugin by Jack Joseph Puig gives strings, synths and pianos more presence and warmth – with parallel processing and four dedicated modes.

Created with multiple Grammy-winning producer and engineer Jack Joseph Puig (John Mayer, U2, Lady Gaga, the Rolling Stones), the plugin brings out the zing of a bow and the pluck of a harp and gives an almost physical presence to synth samples and pads – without overpowering the instruments’ inherent character. Compression plus low and high EQ form the core, joined by up to four parallel effect layers, including Warm to add girth to thin samples, Presence for definition and detail, and Space and Doubler to bring the concert hall to you. Synth, Hi Strings, Lo Strings and Piano modes are optimised for each instrument, and you can balance the dry and effect layers for a realistic blend.
