Three free plugins that will liven up your production workflow!
We’ve carefully selected, blended and mapped several parameters to one knob for your convenience, as in some cases we don’t need to dig deep but act fast instead. All three work best as channel insert, though you may try Space Knob on return track setting it 100% and playing with the send level.
So please welcome - Abletunes Knobs: DRIVE, SPACE and ATTACK.
DRIVE KNOB
Distortion unit that delivers some nasty wide-band distortion (stereo). Great for when you quickly want to add some tone and color to your sound. Sounds good on drum groups and percussion tracks, adds grit to bass lines, leads, keys, you name it.
Try automating its level on transitions, try automating its ON/OFF switch to add extra vibe and chopping pulsation couple of bars before the drop.
ATTACK KNOB
Simplified transient shaper (stereo) with only ATTACK section of the waveform being affected. Adds bite to the drum loops, enhances percussive transients, makes guitar solos sound more solid and confident to name a few applications examples.
But stay moderate with it if you just want to slightly accent the transient (or go nuts with 100% just to see how it sounds).
SPACE KNOB
Mid-sized room reverb (stereo). Pretty bright one, creating a mid-sized space, somewhere in between a large room and a small hall. Works well on almost anything, from percussion to synths and acoustic guitars.

So interesting and exciting to discover the manufacturing secrets of so many eclectic styles and try to unravel the mystery of the big hits thanks to Abletunes.

My first recommendation to new producers is to open projects from others and study them. Abletunes enables you to do just that and I find myself downloading their releases quite often to learn from and pick apart.

First, i'd like to say I am a HUGE supporter of Abletunes. I have been purchasing your templates for years and I absolutely LOVE the techniques that you use because they are actually CORRECT. I studied "Mixing & Mastering" from Grammy Award Nominated: Luca Pretolesi of Italy and you guys use some of the same techniques as he does and that amazes me. I believe your "Producers" and "Mix Engineers" are GENIUS and I just wanted you guys to know that I appreciate what it is that you are doing. [...] Anyways, just wanted to let you guys know I appreciate your business and I am happy that there is actually a company that wants to teach people on how to become better Producers / Mix Engineers the CORRECT way. There is SO MUCH misinformation out there and I am thankful for your guys proper approach to producing. THANK YOU!

I just wanted to say your templates are amazing! I 'm trying to learn music production and I was starting to feel stuck with the youtube tutorials and masterclasses. But for me these templates are a goldmine for learning !! Thank you for making these.

I really respect what you are doing with your company. I have been involved with music for a long time and I believe there are a lot of misunderstandings about production. The way music production is taught in many places I feel is completely wrong and often leaves students at the end of their courses feeling uninspired and that they will never achieve their musical dreams. Breaking down songs into professional templates and letting users work out the musical rules is a great way to improve production. Well done :)
