Dave Aude Producer Pack

Instruments & Effects for Modern Music Production

With more #1 dance club hits than any other producer on the Billboard charts, Dave Aude is one of the world’s most in-demand producers. He’s the mastermind behind hit remixes for artists as varied as Rihanna, Selena Gomez, LeAnn Rimes, Lady Gaga, Sting, New Order, and Faith No More.

Production is all about coming up with the right sound in the right context—and this collection of premium instruments, plug-ins for vocals/drums, and presets are the production tools you need.

Bass Slapper

Slapping bass with your thumb makes such a cool sound, but it’s impossible to sample… right? Not anymore. 3,700 multisamples, with round-robin note assignments and articulations, nail the 70s bass sound that players like Larry Graham and Bootsy Collins used to power funk, disco, and pop.

Select a warm, old-school sound, or bright modern—even choose the neck position where notes play, because the same note sounds different at different positions. It’s all about slap bass realism.

Codex Wavetable Synth

You want the sweet sound of analog, but the clarity and flexibility of digital—you want CODEX. This granular, wavetable-based synthesizer’s offers an immense sonic palette. Inspirational, innovative, and exciting, there’s no faster or better way to liberate yourself from conventional synth sounds.

Starting out? Simply dial up any of the 500+ incredible presets. Synthesis Jedi master? Dive deep into unparalleled sound design possibilities—including the option to load your own waveforms.

Electric 200 Piano

“A quantum leap from other sampled Wurlitzers” according to top session musician Charlie Judge (Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood), Electric 200 captures the tones heard on classics by Queen, Pink Floyd, and Supertramp as well as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Aretha Franklin.

Each original 200 model had its own subtle tonal variations. For Electric 200, we’ve sampled two different pianos, capturing every nuance of the keys’ response and the instruments’ authentic mechanical reaction.

Electric 88 Piano

You’ve heard the unmistakable sound in classics by Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, the Doors, Steely Dan, and so many others. Our goal was to sample the soul, not just the sound, of this classic electric piano.

We’ve searched for the best-sounding specimen of this vintage model, then sampled the instrument key by key, to capture every nuance of each key with full dynamic human feel and touch. The result is what master keyboardist Jason Miles (Michael Jackson, Miles Davis) has called “top of the class for Fender Rhodes VSTs.”

Electric Grand 80 Piano

The CP series of electro-acoustic pianos were integral to the sound of late 70s/early 80s pop giants, from Phil Collins and Elton John to ABBA, U2, Toto, Hall & Oates and Billy Joel. Occupying the space between acoustic and tine-based pianos, the CP series made touring with a piano possible—without needing to haul a grand.

With a more focused sound than acoustic pianos, and a more complex sound than tine-based electric pianos, Electric Grand 80’s reverberant chords and shiny, polished leads slide into mixes with ease.

OneKnob Pumper

Pumping music in time with the beat is an essential EDM technique, but setting it up is complicated and cumbersome—or at least it was. OneKnob Pumper delivers that hypnotic, ducking effect, in a simple, versatile plugin. Choose your rhythm, turn a knob, and start pumping.

But OneKnob Pumper doesn’t have to be turned up all the way. For any musical genre, use it subtly to add a fresh, rhythmic pulse to pads, bass, keyboards, effects buses, drums, and more.

Sibilance

Sibilance breaks down sound into basic, individual components prior to processing. When Sibilance recognizes unwated “ess” and “shh” vocal sounds, it reduces only their levels without affecting other components—even ones with high frequencies. The result: ultra-precise de-essing.

For vocals, dialogue, voiceover, and podcasting, no other de-esser maintains the original timbre, duration, and resonance of the human voice as well—or as effectively—as Sibilance.

Smack Attack

Make drums leap out of a mix. Help the snare crack instead of thud. Get strummed acoustic guitar to sound crisper. Enable percussive rap vocals to hit hard. Or, go in the other direction—tame hand percussion to sit better in the mix, or pull back a bass’s attack to emphasize sustain.

Compared to traditional transient shapers, Smack Attack’s powerful processing provides more detailed control over the initial attack. From tracks to masters, your sound comes alive.
