Karanyi Sounds Cloudmax 3Cloudmax 3 turns any audio into rhythmic patterns, harmonic layers, or musical textures. Cloudmax 3 is not a reverb and not a straight granular tool. It pairs a granular texture engine with a tuned modal resonator — so you get both the smear and a musical body underneath it. If you've tried to get this sound with reverb + granular + EQ chained together, you'll understand what's different in 30 seconds of demo. Vocals Make vocals huge. Smear a single take into a wall of breath. Cloud Models stack grains under the dry signal, dual reverb pushes it into the room. Guitars Add depth to guitars. Slide a granular tail under a clean DI. Resonator adds body, motion modulates the air around it. Percussion Build crazy rhythmic FX. Tempo-synced grains chop loops into new patterns. Texture Pitch Modes lock everything in key. Foley & Sound Design Ambiences from anything. Drop in a field recording, footstep, or breath. Cloudmax 3 stretches it into a cinematic bed. Read More

WAVDSP Primary VxPrimary Vx is a real-time, low-latency AI vocal cleanup product line from WAVDSP Neural Labs. It detects and separates the human voice from background noise and stage bleed, helping speech and singing stay clear in demanding environments. Keep the voice. Push the noise away. Primary Vx is designed for vocal microphones surrounded by real world sound: loud instruments, reflections, ambience, and unwanted bleed that normally follows the voice into the mix. Voice-aware cleanup in three stages. 1. Vx Source Detection. Identifies the vocal source in real time so the engine follows the performance, not the bleed around it. 2. Source Separation. Wipes unwanted background instruments, ambience, and bleed away from the vocal path. 3. Feedback Protection Helps you push more gain before feedback, with lower risk of ringing from the PA system. Designed with a multi-stage processing chain while keeping internal latency under 4.7 ms. This makes it practical for Front of House (FOH) workflows and other live vocal applications where response time matters. Read More

FruityAlfred Software Track ManagementTrack Management is an offline audio workstation that turns your own track library into a production resource: database, analysis, stem separation, loop extraction, VST3 processing, BPM matching, mix discovery and export — in one continuous workflow. Import and analyze thousands of tracks locally (BPM, key, beats). The proprietary Loop Finder uses pure DSP — musical beat scoring, zero-crossing snap, bar quantization — to pull the best loops out of any track in your collection. Splice searches their library; Track Management searches yours. Split tracks into drums, bass, other and vocals with intelligent caching, then mix stems across tracks: drums from song A, vocals from song B — with per-stem 5-band EQ and VST3 inserts on every level (per-stem, master bus, single-track). Lock stems to a target BPM with high-quality time-stretching. Record your stem mix live, exactly as you hear it. The Mix Recommender finds compatible tracks by BPM, key, groove and energy. Offline-first: no subscription, no cloud. One-time purchase with lifetime updates. EN, DE, ES, FR, IT. Free unlimited trial. Works on any modern PC; NVIDIA GPU (CUDA) accelerates AI features.
