Speaking as a home music producer, I want to find the best VST plugins to use for my productions. While stock plugins are great and included in products such as Logic Pro, Ableton and Bitwig to name a few it's sometimes nice to branch out further. This is where audioblob comes in. Finding the music VST plugins to meet a need for your project can sometimes offer too much choice.
It's great to have you here. The reviews on this site go in depth and think about the things beyond the audio plugin sales pitch. We look at what matters and help you decide.
Where we can we add a sound sample or clip of audio featuring a before and after of a plugin being enabled. This lets you hear what effect it has on the audio in question. Sometimes it can be subtle, so you might need to try using a good pair of headphones or studio monitors where possible in order to hear any nuances.

Over 25 Years in the (Bedroom) Studio
I've been on and off the DAW for over 25 years, cutting my teeth in the days of clunky gear and cassette dubs. These days, I'm into digital tech and enjoy spending late nights with plugins and headphones.
I've been known to get samples for my music from plenty of out there places. Airports, cities, traffic. Inspiration is all around us. Music for me isn't just a hobby but it's how I connect with the world.
My Musical Tastes
My playlists are as eclectic as they come: a bit of Pink Floyd, some BB King blues, a dash of Bloc Party and Bowie plus a dose of Chemical Brothers. All have provided me inspiration in some form at some point.
From DJ Booths to Blog Posts
Back in my twenties, I was DJing in pubs and clubs, spinning tunes for sweaty dance floors and hazy Sunday mornings. These days, the decks don't get quite as much love, but my passion for music tech has only grown. That's why I started Audioblob - to share honest plugin reviews, production tips, and sound design experiments.
