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.
Mixing is central to all audio work, including sound design and synthesis. And a good mixer offers unique features and, well, sounds good. In this episode, we cover many universal concepts (gain-staging, wet/dry blends, pre-/post-routings, etc.), while seeing Bitwig’s special powers and hidden treats. Once you know your mixer, you might just make it an instrument. 🎛️ 🎵
