Why do your plugins interfaces look… different?

This quote from Emmy-Award winning composer, Cristóbal Tapia de Veer, sums it up better than we could:

You can feel that it’s made to be creative and to… I don’t know how to say… they’re not try to emulate things — like, it doesn’t look like a tape recorder with spinning wheels and all of those graphics and things like that. It looks like a drawing, like a kid’s drawing; it’s very flat and one-dimensional, but the way it’s done, it’s like you’re more focused on being creative.

At Goodhertz, we’re not trying to sell nostalgia for analog hardware with metal faceplates & Phillips-head screws, we’re trying to make tools that spark creativity, and get out of the way — allowing you to work with efficiency and ease.
