Togu Audio Line TAL-Dub-X

Togu Audio Line TAL-Dub-X

September saw our tech team reviewing plugins aplenty, Arturia's long-awaited audio interface and an all-new audio editor.

Find out how they all fared by clicking through the gallery. We'll start with the paid-for reboot of Togu Audio Line's free TAL-Dub...

MusicRadar’s verdict:

“Bringing the free TAL-Dub up to modern spec and making modest improvements to its sound and workflow, TAL-Dub-X is an excellent feedback delay plugin.”

In Session Audio Riff Generation

In Session Audio Riff Generation

MusicRadar's verdict:

"Expensive it may be, but Riff Generation is one of the deepest Kontakt libraries we’ve ever seen, conjuring original melodic patterns out of thin air.”

2nd Sense Audio ReSample

2nd Sense Audio ReSample

MusicRadar's verdict:

"It’s handsome, smooth and easy to use, but ReSample falls flat for its woefully inadequate processing workflow and general bugginess.”

Waves Smack Attack

Waves Smack Attack

MusicRadar's verdict:

"There are plenty of superb transient shapers out there, but none have quite the same level of finesse as Waves’ colourful new take on the concept.”

Max For Cats Pallas

Max For Cats Pallas

MusicRadar's verdict:

"Pallas is a very interesting, flexible and well-designed synth, but it’s pushing up against the capabilities of its Max framework.”
