Crystalline
NEXT-GENERATION ALGORITHMIC REVERB
A ‘perfect algorithmic reverb’ is often considered the holy grail of digital audio effects. In fact, the idea can be traced all the way back to research papers from the 1960s.
Throughout the 20th century, algorithmic reverbs evolved thanks to companies like EMT and Lexicon. But limited computing power at the time forced manufacturers to work within narrow constraints.
Fast forward, and we now have the resources to do things that couldn’t be done during the golden age of studio reverbs. Both in terms of sheer sound quality. But also in terms of adding creative features that weren’t possible in the hardware days.
Crystalline stands on the shoulders of 60 years of chasing ‘the holy grail of DSP’. We’ve asked ourselves what the pioneers of the legendary digital reverbs would have done if they had the resources we have today – and then we’ve made exactly that plugin. With all the bells and whistles a modern engineer would need

Smooth Operator
INTELLIGENT SPECTRAL BALANCER
Smooth Operator combines the benefits of Resonance Suppression, Spectral Compression and Equalization into one, smart workflow. It offers a simplistic alternative to a traditional channel strip and is your new best friend when it comes to combating cluttered mixes. Use the plugin to sculpt your tonal balance while the algorithm automatically eliminates harsh resonances in the background.
Smooth Operator analyzes your incoming audio at your DAW’s sample rate (e.g. 44,100 times per second) and constantly adapts its settings to attenuate the frequencies that have excessive energy build-up. The plugin lets you set a desired frequency response curve and optimizes the incoming signal in accordance with that. This gives your tracks a smoother, more musically balanced frequency response.

TAIP
AI-POWERED TAPE PLUGIN
Tape recordings have a musical quality that digital mixes often lack. We wanted to bring this quality into the DAW in the most uncompromising way.
Sonically, TAIP offers a faithful, AI-based, emulation of a 1971 European tape machine. Our plugin will add the same harmonic richness and non-linear magic as the hardware. But feature-wise, we’ve taken the liberty to go one step further: TAIP comes packaged with a set of innovative sound-design parameters that let you go from just ‘tape’ to ‘beyond tape’.
The result is a happy marriage between classic sound and modern versatility. And we encourage you to drive it hard!

Super VHS
1980S RETRO COLOR PLUGIN
As kids of the 1980s we have always been drawn to the sound of slightly out-of-tune synths, warm tape saturation, gritty samples and grainy reverbs. So we set out on a mission to capture our favorite decade – and bring it into a new decade.
Using Super VHS will be like sending your sounds back in time, then re-discovering them on a worn-out VHS tape 30 years later. All with the click of a single button, right inside your DAW.
Super VHS will add some lo-fi authenticity to whatever clean sound you run through it — especially as you mix and match the effects. Each effect has just a single control, but multiple parameters under the hood, allowing for a quick workflow and a wide range of results.

A ‘Lofi Flavor’ Beast
✱ Super VHS combines six colorful effects to bring an authentic 1980s retro vibe to your tracks
✱ Makes your instruments and beats sound like they were sampled off of a VHS tape
✱ Fast and intuitive workflow: Each effect has just one knob – but controls multiple parameters under the hood

Parallel Aggressor
PARALLEL ENHANCER PLUGIN
Parallel processing plays a fundamental part in getting a big mix sound. By duplicating the same audio into multiple copies and processing each duplicate with different levels of intensity, you can add more power to a track – while still preserving its natural dynamics. The technique is a staple of modern music production and usually involves sending audio tracks to a number of parallel busses on a console (physical or virtual).
Parallel Aggressor is based on this same idea. Except the plugin hosts the parallel busses internally and has them setup for maximum impact from the get-go. It’ll help you transform tame mixes in an instant.
“Spank” offers a heavily compressed duplicate of your original track. “Heat” offers a heavily saturated duplicate. “Dry” is your clean audio. Work the two duplicates hard! Then combine all three signals to taste to squeeze every last drop of sonic juice out of your track.
Audio Demos
Add Triple Impact To Your Tracks
✱ Parallel Aggressor splits your audio into three parallel tracks:
Dry, Compressed and Saturated
✱ It lets you add powerful parallel compression/saturation without having to route your audio to any busses
✱ Balance the three internal tracks to add impact and punch while retaining the dynamics of your original audio

I Heart NY
PARALLEL COMPRESSION PLUGIN
In the 1990s, people began talking about a certain ‘New York sound’, pioneered by some of the big-name engineers in the city. The NY sound was heavyweight and powerful, yet musical and dynamic.
It took us a lot of research to find out exactly how they did it. (There’s more to it than just parallel compression). When we finally had it right, we put our findings into the simplest plugin we could imagine. And with that BABY Audio was born.
I Heart NY automatically duplicates your audio under the hood – and treats it with heavy compression, EQ and a bunch of non-linear magic. It offers a dead-easy and gratifying way of adding presence and weight to your tracks.
Since the release of I Heart NY, we’ve developed Parallel Aggressor, a big brother built on the same principle but with an added saturation engine and even more features.

A Small Solution For A Big Sound
✱ I Heart NY gives you the classic ‘NYC Parallel Compression Trick’ in a simple and powerful plugin
