The Hazelrigg VLC is a great tool for simple and effective results. The broad stroke EQ helps contour sound in a unique way and the 3 way selector has great tonal differences.

The CA-70S is truly a magic bullet because it just makes everything sound better. It gives you that 3D front to back depth reminiscent of the analog days but without the limitations.
Glenn Schick
Mix Engineer (Justin Timberlake, Lizzo, Rihanna)
There are a lot of mojo box plugins on the market, yet the CA-70S has a different flavor than the others. Massive bottom and some nice dial-able warmth really sets it apart from the crowd. It's a great plug to add some spice to your mix or master!

The Hazelrigg VLC is immediately another MixWave plugin that I just won't mix without. If you're looking for real world analog in the digital domain, MixWave already makes it...
Keith Ross

At first I really loved this VLC plugin… Now I’m convinced it’s one of the greatest plugins ever made.

MixWave has crushed it with this faithful recreation of one my favorite pieces of gear! It's very musical and easy to use. I throw it on an insert and every move I make with it has the potential to be the thing I need sonically.

Hazelrigg VLC has been a mainstay on various parts of my mix process. I used it most often on the vocal bus, it has a certain character and eq curve that I'm obsessed with!

The CA-70S sounds like adding a warm hug to any instrument.
Alex Prieto
Mixer & Engineer (Bad Omens, Papa Roach, Pierce The Veil)
As soon as I put the Hazelrigg VLC on a vocal my eyes opened up wide. It does everything I would want from a big tube box and the musicality of the inductor EQ is just remarkable. I honestly didn't think a sound like this could be captured in the digital realm yet. Seriously guys, amazing amazing job.
Dave Hamelin

The CA-70S sounds good on everything and it won’t slew the image.

MixWave drums are not only great for composing demos, but are more than capable of sounding amazing on a finished product. I've never really been satisfied with any virtual instrument for programming drums until now. Game changer for sure!
Brandon Paddock
Producer (The Used, Panic at The Disco, Elle King, Avril Lavigne, Betty Who, Daughtry, The Night Game, Boys Like Girls)
I've never been more floored by a drum library right out of the gate than I was when I hit a snare sample in MixWave drums - I literally started laughing. Taylor Larson has lost his mind because if he keeps this up nobody will ever have to hire him again.
Emma Anzai
Bassist (Evanescence & Sick Puppies)
I’ve really enjoyed using these drums for writing and putting down ideas, they sound awesome out of the gate so you don’t have spend a lot of time making them sound good and instead can use that time to focus on writing and creativity. They also have really good dynamics, so you’re able to get a more human feel to the programming if that’s what you’re going for, enough can’t be said for something that gives you a great feeling to create with, all in all, great drums!

MixWave is my new gold standard. I’ve never had more people ask “What did you use for those drums?” before I started using MixWave in my productions. They will elevate both your demos AND final mixes to new heights.
Charlie Simpson
Multi-Instrumentalist (Busted)
I feel like I have been searching for the perfect drum library for years now. Drums are actually my first instrument, so I am super particular about them. There are some great companies out there but when I came across MixWave they just blew my mind. Their drum libraries are simply flawless. As if that wasn’t enough, they have also made some outstanding plugin replicas of some classic amps, my favourite of which is the Milkman Creamer. You really can’t tell the difference between the plug-in and the real thing. I feel as though MixWave are a company that really cares about the products they make and they are just a joy to work with in the studio. I was so impressed, I even bought their t-shirt!
Royce Whittaker
Musician/Musical Director (Megan Thee Stallion, The Midnight, Jupiter Winter)
These drum kits from MixWave have been indispensable to me when programming new live arrangements for the artists I work with. They allow me to get incredibly detailed, natural-sounding articulations across the kit to accurately depict what a real drummer would play live and to confidently use them as part of the arrangement when there isn't a live band involved. The quality and care put into the sampling of each individual element, plus the more "finished" sound they provide right out of the gate, soars far above anything I've used in the past.
I used the Pridgen kit to make the show intro for Rich Brian at Head in the Clouds last winter. Check it out here.
