“The H plugins are very valuable for anybody in the studio. Two qualities stand out. One is the sound: when you pop any of these plugins into your audio chain, you’re going to notice the quality. The other is the elegance and ease of use: there’s a lot of stuff going on underneath that you can get into and tweak, but on the surface you can just dial it up for a quick workflow. ”

“I’m always searching for sounds I’ve never heard before. H-Reverb allows me to tweak and morph the ‘space’ in a way I could never control before. It can deliver an amazingly detailed and realistic room sound, but it can also create soundscapes limited only by my imagination. And H-Delay is by far my favorite delay these days. I find it really fast to get a great sound, and it sounds really analog, really organic. ”

“H-EQ and H-Comp are absolute essentials in our productions. H-Comp is a beast of a compressor. The BPM-linked release times, the Punch transient control and limiter, the option for parallel compression, all make it perfect for every occasion. And H-EQ’s keyboard is the perfect tool to help sculpt unruly frequencies with precision. When our snare was clashing with one particular sub bass note, we used the keyboard to attenuate the frequency range of the exact note and get extra clarity in our final mix.”

“I consistently go to H-Comp and H-EQ when I want modern control with a classic, vintage/analog tone. They’re my two go-to’s for huge vibe, color and tone.”

“I’ve been using the H-Comp on my drum subs and setting the release by the tempo. The Mix knob makes it easy to add the non-compressed signal back in without dealing with latency.”

“H-Reverb can do just about anything, from weird lo-fi effects, to smooth small rooms, to long open spaces. H-EQ is extremely versatile: you can use it for surgical EQ when a very precise boost or cut is needed. And with H-Comp, I can make my drums thick and punchy by using the Punch knob to control transients and timing the release based on the tempo. I also use H-Comp as a parallel compressor on my drums or bass to make them pump musically.”

“H-Reverb has a great reverb sound, with useful and modern controls, amazing ancillary effects, and flexible sonic manipulation options that give me the sonic landscape needed in today’s music. This amazing effect lets me get sounds that I would otherwise need three or more plugins in order to get.”

“One of the things H-Reverb really nails is the reverb tail. It has this beautiful, dense, natural-sounding finish to it, just like true soundwaves bouncing off the right kind of room. H-Reverb also has the best gated snare reverb sound I’ve ever heard in a preset—and you can use on lots of things other than snare.”

“H-Delay is incredible. I use it in a lot of ways, from reggae-influenced dub to thick slaps and epic straight delays. On vocals in songs that are wordier I use a really short delay, more like a doubler. You can get really creative with it!”

“H-Reverb is the best software reverb I’ve laid ears on. Open it up, and you get a great sound without touching a single control. If you want to tailor it a little, the main controls plus ER and Reverb Time will give you practically anything you need. And you also get a Reverse button! The pre- and post-echo features and the dynamics and envelope/LFO sections give you that extra level of creativity and other-worldly sounds”
