  • I reviewed 2,000 plugins. Making my own took 2 years.
    I’ve been reviewing audio plugins on Bedroom Producers Blog for more than 15 years. I don’t have an exact number, but I’ve probably tested more than 2,000 plugins in that time. Maybe close to 2,500, depending on how strictly we count the ones I installed, disliked, and uninstalled right away. During all that plugin testing, [...]

  • Umami Audio Grandma's SpiceWhat is a detail‑preserving clipper? In conventional hard clipping, pushing a signal beyond its limit flattens the peaks into something resembling a square wave. Along with those peaks, the finer details riding on them — high‑frequency harmonics and transient textures — are lost. Grandma's Spice is a next‑generation detail‑preserving clipper plugin. Inspired by ideas from au5_official and tomfinster, we've taken the concept further. Instead of simply chopping peaks, Grandma's Spice employs an "infinite foldback" technique that allows the signal to be reflected back an infinite number of times until the signal is fully within the permitted range, and letting you drive the signal into ultra‑hot territory without sacrificing nuance. On top of that, we've added multiple foldback modes, arbitrary delta gain, oversampling, and a versatile saturation stage controlled via XY pad — giving you precision, flexibility, and that unmistakable "spice" in your mix.
