Five Cableguys effects
Time, Filter, Pan, Volume and Width Shapers come together in ShaperBox 2. Analogue-like zero-delay feedback filters, compression based on classic British mixing consoles, sample-accurate volume modulation, mid-side expansion, and much more – all in one CPU-efficient plugin.
LFOs that you design
At the heart of every Shaper is an LFO unlike any other. From choppy rhythms to organic pulsations, any wave shape you can imagine is just clicks away with Cableguys’ famous editing tools. Lock your LFOs to DAW tempo with sample accuracy, or trigger in any rhythm with MIDI notes.
Introducing Pens
New! Designing the ideal LFO just got even easier with three powerful, easy-to-grasp Pens. Draw crisp lines, smooth arcs and flowing S-curves. Redraw transients in a click, rapidly build rhythmic patterns, and more. Switch back to classic single-node editing anytime.
Flexible envelope followers
New! Filter, Pan and Width Shapers can react automatically to the dynamics of your beats, loops, melodies – anything. Make filters open with each snare hit. Pan percussion dynamically. Widen synths as they grow louder. Trigger from other tracks in your project using sidechain routing.
Designer compression
New! With a high-quality, British-inspired compressor inside VolumeShaper 6, you see compression on the same large graph as your volume edits. Get that perfect punch and control for drums, basslines, vocals and more. Still not perfect? Grab a Pen and refine the gain curve till it is.
Shapers that do more
New! Use 3 filters at once – including new Phaser types – with multiband FilterShaper Core 2. Get retro tape/vinyl ‘wow’ with TimeShaper 2’s Fine mode. Boost transients with VolumeShaper 6’s Gain control. And spread sounds wide with psychoacoustic Haas panning in PanShaper 3.
Multiband made easy
Every Shaper can be split into 3 bands, for tightly focused processing. Compress the bass. Stutter the mids. Reverse the highs. No limits on your creativity.
New! Steep 24dB crossovers join the classic 6 and 12dB models, for even greater precision.
Packs of inspiration
Explore 1000+ pro presets, and share patches via the Cableguys Preset Cloud.
New! Find inspiration with Packs, curated collections of the very best presets for lo-fi FX, compression, scratching, and more. Work even faster with 1-click Quick Presets for essentials like sidechain ducking.

Tech Tips Volume 47 with Dirty Secretz
This week we welcome back Richie aka Dirty Secretz for a new set of tips and tricks in Ableton in Tech Tips Volume 47.
Over these 10 videos Richie shares some of the tricks he uses to help keep interest and variation in his tracks, percussive tips to help improve your drums, and simple workflow techniques to speed up the creative process.
We focus on breakdowns with micro-breaks, held strings and a cool use of wet/dry automation on delay and reverb. We then move on to creating our own unique beats using our voice and how to get a skipping house beat by adding percussion with different groove settings. We also look at some essential workflow tips and how to save MIDI patterns and channel defaults along with using Ableton 10’s collections to help organisation and finding what you want quicker.
Finally, we check out iZotope’s free ‘Imager’ plugin to help widen our sounds in the stereo field.
Easy to follow and super accessible for users of all abilities, these Tech Tips will get you working faster and sounding great!

BABY Audio I Heart NY Parallel Compressor v1.0 WIN & MAC

I HEART NY PARALLEL COMPRESSOR
True ‘New York style’ parallel compression — with an addictively punchy flavor.
PARALLEL POWERS IN A PLUGIN
Parallel compression – also known as ‘New York compression’ – is an essential technique for creating more powerful mixes. But it can be a hassle to deal with the extra routing when you’re in the creative zone.
We made a plugin that does the hard work for you — with a fat and punchy flavor.
Features: Parallel bus hosted internally for an intuitive workflow. Unique & adaptive compression algorithm. Compatible with all major DAWs on Mac and PC.
UNDER THE HOOD
Many compressors will offer a wet/dry knob. But for a true parallel compression sound, the dry signal should remain unaffected as you add a ‘crushed’ duplicate for extra weight. We’ve built a simple plugin for that process. ‘I Heart NY’ hosts a parallel track internally — giving you instant ‘New York Style’ compression on demand.
The SPANK knob controls a complex and powerful algorithm, designed to fire-up anything you throw at it. Revealing exactly what goes on under the hood would take away some of the magic. But in short it’s a mix of punchy high-ratio compression with a transient-friendly envelope – and a bit of EQ – combined with a low-end preservation filter applied to the internal detection signal for a fuller sound. Add a little of it to give a dull track some extra life, or add a lot to push your mix all the way to the limit (and beyond).
The incoming audio is duplicated, then processed and mixed in, before both signals are summed together through the output.
TWO-TRICK PONY
While parallel compression is its primary strength, I Heart NY can be more than a one-trick pony. Engaging ‘SOLO’ mode makes the plugin operate as a normal insert compressor (by muting the dry audio signal). This opens up a whole new set of possibilities for using the SPANK algorithm on your material.
COMPATIBILITY
Plugin formats: VST, VST3, AU, AAX.
Platforms supported: Mac OS 10.7 and up, PC Windows 7 and up. 64-bit and 32-bit compatible.
DAWs supported: Ableton Live, Cubase, Logic Pro, Nuendo, Pro Tools, FL Studio, Reaper, Reason + more.
‘Flute Essentials’ contains 40 twisted air-blown flute loops & sounds. Discover an exploration of Hip Hop, R&B, Soul, & Lo-Fi styled flute compositions.
Featuring live recorded flutes from around the world. You’ll find full flute melodies along with flute bases to use as starting blocks for your next production.
Each sample was carefully crafted to evoke Hip Hop sonics but with the character to inspire any genre.
Gritty, Lo-Fi Sample Pack
Textured, nostalgic, saturated and 100% beautifully produced, this MPC heavy Lo-Fi Sample Pack has all the emotion, character and bump you’d expect from the production genius that is Oribu.
Authentic Rhodes Piano Loops
Teaming with character, this truly authentic collection of Hip-hop samples will perfectly lift your productions to a level previously thought unattainable. From that classic hip-hop drum bump to the distressed, warn keys no stone has been left unturned in providing you with the most authentic collection of beat making essentials.
Shlohmo Inspired Guitar Samples
Inside you’ll find analogue driven MPC beats, Shlohmo inspired guitar licks, classic Dilla tinged Rhodes piano loops, Lo-Fi Keys samples, vibing arp patterns, super swung organic percussion loops, expansive pads and non stop Lo-Fi texture. As always, there’s a stack of super useful one shots to aid your beat making progression.
So, if you’re looking to add that element of nostalgia and emotion to your beats then this ones for you. As beautiful as it is characterful – an absolute Lo-Fi masterclass.
‘Synthwave Anthems’ invites you to embark on a musical journey back to the heart of the 1980s – where the synth was king, the drums were digital and the result was incredible. These retro Construction Kits are ideal for producers trying to capture the glory of artists like New Order, The Human League and Berlin, as well as modern trailblazers like M83 and Cliff Martinez.
Producer Loops couldn’t be more proud of this collection, which we’re calling the “Dolorean” of Synthwave sample packs. Combining modern sound design techniques with quintessential 80s elements like rolling basslines, tom fills, lush pads, and dominant synth leads, we’re confident you’ll find all of the production tools you need to bring the sound of the past to your future productions.
We’re going “Back To The Future”, one might say. All that’s missing is your giant cell phone.
MIDI Files Included:
Like so many other Producer Loops products, ‘Synthwave Anthems’ includes MIDI files for the majority of musical phrases heard in each Kit, allowing you to seamlessly mix your favourite synths and samplers with the sounds contained in the pack.
Advantages of MIDI:
While the supplied ACID/Apple Loops/REX files are extremely flexible and powerful, MIDI has the added benefit of allowing you to go to extremes of pitch and tempo beyond which the loops were originally recorded, with no time stretching or pitch shifting artefacts. Furthermore, you can make tweaks to the riffs so they fit perfectly into your existing mixes.
One-Shot Samples:
This pack also includes one-shot samples, allowing you to create new beats, fills and loops to compliment the existing material. Simply load them up into your sampler of choice and create an infinite number of new grooves and phrases.
Dry/Wet Loops:
For users looking to simply drag and drop, the ‘wet’ files contain all of the effects processing heard in the audio demos. But for producers looking to create their own effects mix, ‘dry’ loops are also included. Don’t like the wet loops? No problem; add your own effects.
Unlooped Riffs/Tails:
This sample library also comes with unlooped/tail versions allowing you to end a phrase with the decay of the reverb/delay applied to the loop, another “Producer Loops” exclusive product feature.
Royalty-Free:
All of the loops in this product are 100% Royalty-Free (including the vocal loops), so once purchased, you can use these loops in your commercial releases without having to pay any hidden costs.
