Audiority GrainSpace
MusicRadar's verdict:
“Easy to use and full of sonic surprises, GrainSpace is a wildly creative glitching and texturising toolbox that’s two LFOs, a few Random targets and a Freeze button short of magnificence.”

Audified TNT Voice Executor
MusicRadar's verdict:
“Approach it on its own terms and TNT Vocal Executor is a reliable and effective voice recording fixer-upper, particularly for spoken word. It could do with more presets, though, and the Delay feels unnecessary.”
