Modern Interfaces & Excellent Audio

Goodhertz is easily one of my favorite plug-in designers these days as they make high fidelity audio inspiring. The look and feel of their plug-ins is also easy and refreshing, with flat colors on a white background. There are no knobs to “turn” with a mouse – just simple slider controls that change the percentage of each parameter.

I use Goodhertz plugins on every mix that I do. Lohi is my go-to filter, Vulf Compressor lives on my drum buss in varying amounts of wet/dry, and Wow Control and Lossy are instant vibe enhancers on so many sounds. I’m constantly finding new ways to use this stuff- like recently I automated Trem Control on a lead vocal to give it some tempo synced bounce and it really brought it to life. The GUI’s are beautiful and intuitive, and the way every plugin is some hybrid of eq/dynamics/tone gives them all such great utility. Truly can’t say enough good things.

I ended up using several Goodhertz plugins all over the Tenet score and now I want more! Panpot alone was a lifesaver because we recorded the entire orchestra individually from each player’s home. The spectral panning was a major assist.

I use Vulf Compressor on pretty much every song I make. I love it for bass, drums, guitar, and keys in particular. It brings out a particular warmness that I have not found in any other compression. It makes everything so much more buttery and old-school without diminishing the quality of sound. I love to use the Lohi plugin on backup vocals. I use the “tiney” setting often to create a distant and whispery atmosphere. I also use Lohi on drums, sometimes for a more muted and understated drum sound, which I like for certain ambient-style tracks. Goodhertz makes some of my favorite plugins! They truly elevate the sounds to the next level.

On the outside it may look like a Volvo, but under the hood it’s a monster truck!!
