Musicians 2

Music creation plugins for voice, instruments, and mixing

Core Plugins Simplify Music Creation and Mixing

Musicians 2 provides popular tools for all instruments, whether for live performance or mixing in the studio. Optimize punch and dynamics for voice, guitar, and bass. Double-track, thicken, and shimmer with Doubler. Intensify productions with SuperTap’s multitap, tape-style delay.

Mix with Renaissance Compressor—the gold standard for smooth compression—and Renaissance Equalizer’s six bands of flexible EQ. Musicians 2 is the fast, economical way to enhance your music.

Doubler

Thicken voices, spread mono instruments, suffuse space in mixes, beautify background vocals, augment acoustic guitar parts, do stunning sound design—then go even further.

The secret to Doubler’s sound is that it can reinforce doubling with another layer of doubling. With 4 voices, up to 100 ms of delay, and modulation, Doubler is a classic vocal doubling solution.

Renaissance Axx

For guitar, bass, and other stringed instruments, all-purpose compressors that also have to handle vocals, drums, stereo mixes, and so on—are unnecessarily complex. You would probably just set-and-forget most parameters, and tweak the two or three you actually need.

So, welcome to Renaissance Axx—which optimizes “under the hood” parameters for stringed instruments and similar sounds like plucked synths. The result: Ease of use, with the gorgeous sound of high-end studio compression.

Renaissance Compressor

The Renaissance Compressor revives the warmth that made vintage analog compressors great—with the transparency and additional features made possible only with modern software designs.

As the gold standard for modern compressors, R-Comp brings clarity and definition, with the added versatility of classic opto or modern “electro” attack/release times.

Renaissance Equalizer

For over two decades, engineers have reached for the Renaissance EQ because it solves problems. The neutral, unbiased sound means that any changes made to your tracks happen because you set the controls to make those changes—not because the EQ imposed its own sound on your settings.

What’s more, the clean, multipoint touch-friendly interface (with 3 different skins) is a joy—see all band parameters at once, or focus on a single band. No wonder this EQ has stood the test of time.

Renaissance Vox

Hailed by Drake’s producer Noah “40” Shebib as “one of the most important vocal plugins ever made,” R-Vox has become the go-to vocal compressor for countless Grammy-winning engineers, working with vocalists from Beyoncé to Billie Eilish. With 3 focused and efficient controls, R-Vox is the quickest route to a legendary vocal sound.

Most of the action happens “under the hood,” with parameter values calculated in real time for specific vocal styles. Tweak the Gate, Compression, and Output Gain—then become inspired.

SuperTap

Multi-head tape delays defined the sound of spacey echoes. SuperTap does everything the vintage hardware did, but its 6 independent stereo delay lines deliver far more flexibility.

SuperTap’s modulation, feedback delay, and filtering enhance echoes even more. From evocative solos, to playful polyrhythms, to thick slapback and early reflections, SuperTap is a classic delay powerhouse.
