Sound Ex Machina are back with another awesome library - Rain City. The library aims to cover the interaction between rain and the objects around the city, and does so very effectively.

Company: Sound X Machina
Product: Rain City
Price: $49
Our Rating: 4.5/5
Sound Ex Machina are back with another awesome library - Rain City. The library aims to cover the interaction between rain and the objects around the city, and does so very effectively. The recordings feel intimate, and have a texture often missing with weather sounds. Certain files also include noise from machinery around them, so be aware of that. The files are provided at 24 Bit 96 kHz WAV and total 8GB and include 230 minutes of content. Metadata is extensive and the included info folder provides a very nice thankyou note.
If you work with film noir city scapes, or hyper real Sci-Fi city scenes, Rain City will be an invaluable tool for bringing the audience closer to your world. In terms of general weather effects, it still probably beats what you already have, so go grab it.
DAW Cassette allows Musicians, Sound Engineers and Sound Designers to process music and dialogue through a cassette tape emulation.
November 23, 2021
Company: Klevgrand
Product: DAW Cassette
Price: AU/VST/AAX Version - $39.99
iOS Version - $12.99
Our Rating: 4.6/5
DAW Cassette allows Musicians, Sound Engineers and Sound Designers to process music and dialogue through a cassette tape emulation. As well as the ability to adjust the type of type (which really alters the effect), there is scope to adjust the playhead quality, tape quality, motor quality and noise level. It has a really gnarly sound, and could fool even the most hipster of cassette purists. Expect to use it in music mixing, dialogue futzing, Lo-Fi processing and general tape based madness. Building on their reputation from Brusfri, Klevgrand have brought another plugin to the market with a slick interface and even slicker sound. Here are some sound examples. Clean has no effects, Dirty has extreme settings, and Processed has moderate settings.
If you like walks on the beach, long vivid sunsets and high brow obsolete audio formats, you will love DAW Cassette. Just kidding, but seriously, if you are looking for that Lo-Fi sound, this is the plugin for you. Future updates could really enhance the interface and playability too.

If you are looking for a go to synthesizer, and are a modular freak or sample tweaker, you will fall in love with Hexaract.
November 23, 2021
Company: Auddict
Product: Hexeract
Price: $200 (Sale Price $100)
Our Rating: 4.8/5
Hexeract combines all that is good with modern software and hardware synths, adding some tasteful effects and a stunning GUI. Sound creation should be fun and intuitive, and Auddict have recognised that the needs of the modern Sound Designer, Composer and Musician stretch far further than simple analogue synthesis. A modular look with a 2018 twist, it sounds huge, and packs a punch. The variety of oscillator samples on offer provide scope for organic patches with a digital soul. The sequencer, multiple filters and sample/wavetable oscillators make this synth a versatile tool that we will use for years to come.
If you are looking for a go to synthesizer, and are a modular freak or sample tweaker, you will fall in love with Hexaract. The current 50% off brings the total price down to $100, which is frankly a steal for a synth of this calibre.
