PLUGIN WEEK 2023: Making studio quality records has never been easier, thanks to the Hitmaker Expansion and Focusrite interfaces. Focusrite has taken the power of decades of large format studio music making and packed it into an easy-to-use plugin suite, so you can create studio-quality records wherever the music takes you.
With the Hitmaker Expansion, available with every Scarlett 3rd Gen, Clarett+, Clarett USB, and Red interface purchased and registered on or after October 1st 2022, you can have all the plug-ins you need to write, produce, mix, and master your music in studio quality.
Antares® Auto-Tune® Access
For vocals, the Antares® Auto-Tune® Access allows for natural-sounding, near-real-time pitch adjustment for getting the best vocal takes, as well as lightning-fast Hip-hop-inspired pitching for adding a whole new sound to your tracks. Additionally, you won’t find Auto-Tune Access included with any other interface – get the original and best exclusively with Focusrite. And for adding reverb to your vocals, Relab’s LX480 Essentials provides four reverb options, modeled on The Hit Factory NYC’s reverb unit, and used on countless hits.
Marshall®’s Silver Jubilee 2555
Guitar players will love the hyper-realistic model of Marshall®’s Silver Jubilee 2555, brought to you by analogue-modelling experts Softube®. The Silver Jubilee offers everything from warm cleans, through classic crunch, and up to modern high gain tube amp sounds. Keyboard players can add beautifully captured piano to their tracks with XLN Audio®’s Addictive Keys, giving you the choice of one of four professional-sounding models from Steinway®, Yamaha®, and the classic Rhodes®.
Addictive Drums 2: Studio Rock Kit
Drummers can add the sounds of a pro drummer to their songs easily with XLN’s Addictive Drums 2: Studio Rock Kit, featuring expertly captured samples from high-end Tama® and Pearl® drums, and Paiste® and Sabian® cymbals, recorded at Decibel Studios in Stockholm. You can also add beats to get you started, and mix your drums quickly with high-quality effects right in the plug-in.
