Clippings

Sound On Sound

On AudioFuse

"Audiofuse consciously moves away from the single-knob and break-out cable design of other audio manufacturers and instead opts to provide as much hands-on control as possible."

Doctor Mix

On AudioFuse

"AudioFuse is a serious bit of kit, and it really sounds fantastic."

Fact Mag

On AudioFuse

"Designed for musicians who need a compact audio interface for recording inside and outside the studio."

Music Radar

On AudioFuse

"AudioFuse offers an impressive range of I/O options."

Ask Audio

On AudioFuse

"I really like it! AudioFuse has the audio interface design and functionality on the unit I’ve been screaming out for for a long time."

Audio Fanzine

On AudioFuse

"The AudioFuse is an excellent audio interface with multiple qualities, good value for money, and dizzying specifications."

Sound On Sound

On AudioFuse

"Competition in the world of desktop interfaces is becoming increasingly fierce, but the AudioFuse is perhaps the most versatile such interface yet, with several genuinely unique features. If you need a Swiss Army knife of the audio world, the AudioFuse has more blades than most."

Audio Fanzine

On Preamps

"The proposed colors are particularly attractive and musical. In addition, the implementation could not be simpler."

Ask Audio

On Filters

"Anyone working with electronic music will appreciate their ability to create filter patterns - pulsing and rhythmic sweeps and even ducking effects - and left static they are a great way to shape any sound, even in more conventional styles of production. See if, like me, you agree these really are filters that you will actually use."

Resident Advisor

On Filters

"When you take into account the advanced mod matrix and the fact that the filters can be routed four different ways, the amount of sound design potential available here is undoubtedly impressive."

Pro Tools Expert

On Preamps

"This is a really good use of them modeling technology (...) It's a very brave, yet catchy title, however, these could well be 3 Preamps you use all the time. They are easy to use, light on CPU load and they sound great."

Tape Op

On Preamps

"Kudos to Arturia for the inclusion of a mid-side mode on all three preamps – it's a great utility to have at the ready for broadening a stereo source, and Arturia's implementation of M/S (plus the inclusion of phase inversion on each model) makes you want to experiment with – and yes, actually USE – these plug-ins. And I guess that's why the naming convention is so spot on for these two bundles – the focus on high ergonomics and function paired with low fuss and CPU impact makes for happy music makers. I will use the hell out of these."

Muzyk FCM

On Preamps

"Great collection of processing tools by Arturia who proves that it's not only about their quality synthesizer and instrument vsts!"

Strong Mocha

On Compressors

"Rating: Four out of five stars 3 Compressors You’ll Actually Use is a very excellent bundle of three compressors that you can add at a low price point to your tool boot to help to produce well-mixed instruments and tracks."

Future Music

On Compressors

"This option is great to get the three emulations at a price that is very small and advantageous in comparison(...) Borrowing the iconic names of Retro Instruments, UREI /Universal Audio, and DBX, these vintage soul units look decisively at the challenges of modern music production (...) It is also fair that we highlight the delicacy of Arturia 3 Compressors by offering a reliable re-scalable graphic panel in each plugin that honors the ancestors, while the new features are presented in a subtle and respectful way."

Create Digital Music

On Compressors

"The STA-Level is maybe the most interesting of the three as far as rarity. (...) here’s where Arturia clearly has an edge, you get new sidechaining and auto-leveling and other features that make these more fun to use in modern contexts and easier to drop into your creative flow. (...) I’m already impressed on sound and functionality."

Gearspace

On Compressors

"5/5 Very fine sounding units with what appears to be excellent emulations of the classic hardware compressors. Excellent GUI - looks like the real thing with some very useful additions. Flexible sidechain controls, and external sidechain capability. Love the Band EQ!"

Audio Fanzine

On Compressors

"These compressors sound great, they marry very well with each other and additional features. Both sound, ergonomic and didactic are of rare relevance"

Edm Prod

On AudioFuse

"This interface is the ultimate all-in-one for the bedroom producer. No more USB hubs, MIDI interfaces or mixers. If you’re looking for this kind of studio solution, you won’t find a better option. Personally, this will be my next purchase."

Age Of Audio

On Compressors

"I have compared the new Arturia plug-ins with other competitors, and I can certainly say that this emulation is more complete, focusing on innovation and sound accuracy. (...) These plugins are perfect for all the situations…All compressors sound convincing, better than other competitors, CPU consumption is relatively low. These products are definitely recommended for those looking for plugins that give character to the sound."

Computer Music

On Compressors

"Three superb vintage compressors. Beautiful resizable GUIs. Arturia's best effects bundle yet."

Professional Audio Magazin

On Compressors

"Arturia's "3 Compressors you will actually use", Comp FET-76, Comp VCA-65 and Comp TUBE-STA, combine the sound of old classics with modern and innovative compressor features. Whatever you adjust - it usually sounds very good. Thanks to the successful combination of reproduction and innovation, they really have what it takes to be used often in production and to be the go to’s on a day-to-day basis."

XLR8R

On Preamps

"Are they (as they have been so boldly named) in fact 3 Pre-amps and 3 Filters you would actually use? After a few days living with them, my personal answer is an emphatic yes. Add to this a price point which sits at a fraction of all of their hardware and software competitors, and both packages enter the realm of "buy on sight." Arturia has really captured these signature sounds beautifully."

Ask Audio

On Delays

"After using this suite of delays from Arturia, I can say with certainty, I will actually use these delays."

Pro Tools Expert

On Delays

"Start with one of the presets and let you imagination run wild."

Arturia has always had a string connection to artists, so we've decided to show what foes on behind the scenes. Check what world renown musicians and producers have to say about their favorite Arturia products and how they use them.

Gojko Marić

Welicoruss

"Holy smokes.... this thing is on fire. Who ever knows all the amazing secret weapons the Moog Filers hold, well imagine the legendary "Ladder" filter combined with Multimode Filter, then you know what am talking about."

Emre Ramazanoglu

Engineer / Mixing / Noel Gallagher, Carly Rae Jepsen, Sia

"Arturia have taken the same uncompromising attention to detail that they’ve shown in their synth modelling and applied it these classic preamps. Incredibly impressive and amazingly realised."

Dov Waterman

Audio Editor and Sound Designer

"Crunchy but very even input gain, with a great addition of an EQ section that's easy on the ears, and an M/S feature that brings everything to the fore like no other. The Pre V76 is one plugin I know it’s going to get used!"

Alicia Light

Tracking engineer

"The Pre 1973 has such a characteristic tone, it works wonderfully on drums and adds warmth and tone to vocal recordings It's a must-use for me during tracking."

Emre Ramazanoglu

Engineer / Mixing / Noel Gallagher, Carly Rae Jepsen, Sia

"Arturia continue to showcase their ability to make incredible software with their three new filter plugins. Growl, fire, depth and haunting tone. Big BIG love to you guys for dropping these monster tone tools"

Paul Godfrey

Morcheeba

"Damn these filters and preamps are insane! So thick and syrupy. What am I supposed to do with all my precious hardware? Uh?"

Tommaso Colliva

Producer

"The plugins are different, very good by themselves, and flexible"

Richard Furch

Mixer - Prince, Frank Ocean, Tyrese

"The Arturia PreAmp Collection is astounding. Love the highend on the Pre TridA and the transformers on the Pre 1973. And the drive those and the Pre V76 is such a welcome addition to exite lackluster sounds and make the track pop a little more."

Riccardo Damian

Producer / Lady Gaga, Adele, Miley Cyrus

"Finally my favourite compressor now in the box. The DBX 165 is the absolute Swiss Army knife for the best drum sounds"

Emre Ramazanoglu

Engineer / Mixing / Noel Gallagher, Carly Rae Jepsen, Sia

"Arturia have delivered way beyond my expectations with these new models. The depth, character and feeling is amazing."

Steven A Williams

Producer/Engineer - The Chapel Studios London

"Wow, what an amazing compressor. I can use the FET-76 along with my arsenal of analogue compressors, including two 1176s, to create the exact sound I want, and so easily. I love the FET-76."

Steven A Williams

Producer/Engineer - The Chapel Studios London

"What? This is just ridiculous. So many easily manipulated controls that make a real difference to the sound. And the presets are amazing."

Jake Miller

Producer / Engineer

"I don’t know why barely anybody has made an emulation of the Gates STA, but I’m really glad you did."

Nikolaj Bjerre

Mix and Recording Engineer

"Delay Eternity is a beast! The bitcrusher and the filter give so many sonic options to explore. As soon as I heard this plugin I put it straight on a drum machine...! I think the Eternity is going to be an immense tool for rhythmic experimentation."

Chris Dudley

Underøath

"The Memory Brigade just became my go-to delay. I've been missing that analog style control of my signal path you normally only get with a pedal.... this thing is a beast!"

Mickey Hurcombe

Archive

"Absolutely killer delays with some super useful extra features under the hood."

Jem Godfrey

Producer - Blue, Lulu, Atomic Kitten

"All 3 Delays You'll Actually Use are superb. The Memory Brigade my current favourite, the stereo offset and width options make lead vocals sound gigantic without dominating the mix. A go-to delay for me without question."

Riccardo Damian

Producer / Lady Gaga, Adele, Miley Cyrus

"AudioFuse 8Pre is the perfect setup for my mobile rig. I can now connect it to my already trusted AudioFuse and get 8/16 more precious DiscretePRO preamps in a single rack space, which makes it very efficient and practical."

Justin Stanley

Producer / Engineer

"Outstanding recreations of STA Level, 1176 and DBX165. I have the hardware versions of each of these compressors and the Arturia versions live up to the hype."

Trevor Muzzy

Producer / Grammy-nominated mixer & engineer

"I love having access to different styles of compressors and I find these Arturia compressors to be super versatile recreations of some hardware classics. They give you some extra tweakability and range that the hardware units never had."

Christian Matthew Cullen

Producer / Engineer

"The Arturia Preamps have changed my production and sound design workflow in many ways. They bring so much life and excitement to otherwise flat sound sources."

Josiah Bell

Producer / Musician / Birds of Prey, Jaden Smith

"I’m out of the studio a lot of the time so I’m always looking for something that’s compact and crazy dope where I can hook my record player in. With AudioFuse Studio, this Bluetooth thing is life-changing for producers all over the place. "

Emre Ramazanoglu

Engineer / Mixing / Noel Gallagher, Carly Rae Jepsen, Sia

"The new Arturia Modulators blew me away, providing the classic sound and feel of the units I'd expect, but with the option of deep diving into the expanded control section and fine-tuning them beyond the parameters of the original units. Class acts!"

Tim Bazell

Mix Engineer

"This is the first one I’ve heard that instantly gave me the feeling of a piece of hardware I’ve owned for years. I’m having so much fun using it and remembering just how creative and fun this unit can be."

Max Mitchell

Keyboardist / Producer

"The subtle widening of the Dimension D has always been one of my favorite effects, and Arturia nailed it."
