The Hoover Sound Explained


ShaperBox 3 Bundle: The Ultimate Rhythmic Powerhouse Elevate your sound design with the ShaperBox 3 Bundle, a must-have toolkit for modern producers. This versatile collection brings together 11 powerful Cableguys effects—including Time, Pitch, Volume, and the new LiquidShaper—into one intuitive, multiband interface. Whether you're looking for precise sidechain ducking, complex rhythmic glitches, or lush analog-style filtering, ShaperBox 3 makes it easy to inject musical motion into any track. Praised by top producers like David Guetta and industry titans like Sound On Sound, it’s the definitive solution for solving mix problems and finding instant inspiration.

The ‘hoover’ or ‘mentasm’ is a classic sound heard in rave and dance music. Used by The Prodigy, Joey Beltram, Human Resource… and even Rihanna! The original sound is from the Roland Alpha Juno 2 synth, but you can recreate it using any modern software synth like Serum or Vital.
