NoiseShaper gives producers the secret sauce for lo-fi beats and exciting mixes: noise.

Running in ShaperBox 3, NoiseShaper puts vibe, energy and character right at the heart of your productions. Explore an expansive library of production-ready noise sources by top-tier sound designers BT, Cyclick and InsideInfo, then layer them onto any sound in just one click. With built-in dynamic control, NoiseShaper reacts to your music, for noise that breathes with every beat.

Imagine trap melodies crackling like vintage vinyl. EDM synths that fill the speakers with high-end electricity. Drums sizzling with classic console hiss. Pianos submerged in bubbling water. Cassette tape house grooves. Retro equipment hum, broken digital textures, organic field recordings... NoiseShaper does all this and so much more.

NoiseShaper is already in use by David Guetta, Rob Swire (Pendulum/Knife Party), Armin van Buuren, Jauz, DJs From Mars, César Sogbe (Prince, Pet Shop Boys, David Byrne), John Nathaniel (OneRepublic, Switchfoot, Kygo) and many more top producers.

"NoiseShaper is ridiculously useful. ShaperBox is my most used plugin by far." – Rob Swire (Pendulum, Knife Party)
