AudioThing offers the Effect Bundle (€499 value) for FREE to one lucky BPB reader on Cyber Monday. Keep reading for more info about the bundle and to enter the giveaway.
Most BPB readers are already familiar with AudioThing’s innovative audio effects. The company specializes in developing plugins that either emulate rare vintage gear or bring something completely new to the table.
The Effect Bundle contains all 27 audio effects developed by AudioThing. It’s a long list, so we’ll take a closer look at some of our favorite AudioThing plugins.
“The Effect Bundle features all AudioThing Effects plugins (VST/AU/AAX) with a 60% discount. Ranging from vintage valve emulation to complex convolution processing, this bundle is perfect for every kind of composer, producer, and sound designer.”
Outer Space emulates the famous Roland RE-201 Space Echo. If you like vintage tape echoes, this plugin is a must-have. AudioThing simulates the original unit down to the detail, including all the analog tape imperfections and saturation properties.
Wires is an emulation of a 1970s Soviet wire recorder. Now that’s something you definitely don’t already have in your plugin arsenal.
Things – Motor is a morphing rotor effect. It uses side-chaining to combine signals in new and interesting ways.
Things – Bubbles is the latest AudioThing plugin, and it’s available as a FREE bonus with any purchase during the Black Friday sale. It is an innovative sound design tool based on a filterbank delay.
And those are just a few of our tried-and-tested AudioThing favorites. The full bundle contains 27 plugins, and one lucky BPB reader will get it for FREE on Cyber Monday.
On a related note, AudioThing recently launched the Black Friday sale, offering a 30% OFF discount on all products.

Don’t sleep on Sonic Charge Bitspeek for vocals and check this out; Xfer Delta Modulator for drums!
Long-time free favorites; HeadCrusherFREE and REFLEX free.
Don’t use it often but when I do it’s perfect and nothing compares; Szechuan Saturator.
Also big shoutout to Analog Obsession (totally stand up to Arturia), kHs (great low-CPU utilities), and I really love all the Freakshow Industries stuff (the most sound-design-y recommendation – awesome interfaces, beautifully unpredictable)!
And to close off, everyone, get the Valhalla bundle. Modern-classic-must-haves :)

onI like using convolution reverbs (I use the one in Ableton – Hybrid Reverb).
Instead of using an impulse response to simulate space to add dimension to the sound, I like to use .wav files of interesting sounds to morph the original signal while keeping more accurate pitch and formant qualities.
You can do this with some cabinet sims, too. Really anything that can host a .wav file for an impulse response.

onHi there,
Thanks for such an informative blog mate, always bringing my attention to great new products.
I’d LOVE to win this incredible effects processing suite. My answer to your question is actually very relevant to why I love the idea of AudioThing’s software so much…
For me, there is no single magic plugin, my tool of choice is any capable DAW (I use Pro Tools and Studio One) and it’s advanced flexible signal routing, so that I can expose my evolving signal to countless preconfigured effects channels and chains to modify the signal with subtle nuances right through to bold reactive reflections, and everything else in between. Can craft anything imaginable through complex compounding of effects plugins.
The awesomeness here is that, with quality plugins, I can dynamically factor the processing in such fine detail using the DAW’s channel and plugin parameter automation.
Having a whole collection of effect plugins at your fingertips, such as AudioThing’s software suite, essentially enables this incredibly powerful DAW feature. It then becomes more about which plugins you have access to, and the flexibility, sound shaping diversity and ensuing impact on the signal arising from multiple modifiers cross pollinated with each other.
This in conjunction with being able to feed these effects with any signal to begin with, and cyclically after each iteration whether automated or with manually processing, I think provides truly endless sound design possibilities!
At least, this is how I get truly unique results :)
Josh
onPS. I switched from Pro Tools to Studio One because I missed the upgrade boat and can’t afford their astronomical licensing.
Was delighted to discover that Studio One, as the far less expensive underdog, punches way above its weight and delivers the same capabilities that even the most expensive DAWs do.
I think the same can be said for plug-in vendors. Some of the less renowned suites deliver incredible results and it’s really beneficial to take the time out to check out the reviews and demos. Some of the very best for creating super unique sound design are often found off the beaten track I think.
I mean, seriously… check out AudioThing’s The Orb and Fog Convolution 2. These are insanely powerful for audio design, let alone the idea of combining them and some of the other effects in their suite.

Except for my DAW (FL Studio) and some VST’s (Cherry Audio’s Mercury-4 and DCO-106) one of my favorite plug-ins is actually one from Audio Thing: The Orb. It creates these magnificent/weird/atmospheric human sounding sounds/hums. An awful lot of fun.

onAudiothing’s Megaphone is my little favourite. Everytime a client asks for “that sound”, it instantly delivers and makes them go “ooh!” :) You just can’t buy that with any other plugin.
Saves hassle of putting multiple plugins on the track and fine tuning them – especially when the effect is needed just in one or two small spots in the song.
And for 9$? Can’t go wrong.

onI’m not sure what sound design means, cause it could mean anything meant to change the texture and character of sounds. As far as the creation of sounds from scratch goes, Element 2, Invader 2, PG-8X, and Messiah 2, for synths. For tonal shaping, a bunch of stuff – reverbs (Fame Studios, for actual spaces, Envelope, for more ethereal, H-Reverb), tapes (Softube, IK Tascam bundle), delays (McDSP, X-Delay, but there’s many good ones), consoles and preamps (80s and 50s Consoles from Lindell, CLA Mixhub, Kramer HLS, Neold V76), so on, many favorite plugins used specially for creating/enhancing sound textures.
