Dawesome has released LOVE 2, the next evolution of its acclaimed ambient plugin LOVE, now available via Tracktion. Described as a “sound-shaping instrument” that bring “instant beauty for any sound”, LOVE 2 lets you turn any audio into textures that shimmer, bloom, and unfold like an impressionist painting.

Built on a simple idea – when you’re in love, everything feels more intense, alive, and beautiful – LOVE 2 brings that philosophy to sound. Flat tones ripple with movement, static synths bloom into luminous textures, and lone vocals can blossom into rich, vibrant choirs.

At the core of LOVE 2 is a musically tuned granular engine, designed to create complex, flowing textures while keeping musicality front and centre. Complementing this is a modular effects section that can host up to six effects simultaneously. Each slot can be freely assigned from a curated selection of more than 20 effects, and every module offers dedicated sub-presets and its own dry/wet balance, so results feel musical from the first turn.

Drag-and-drop signal flow and intelligent randomisation with module lock make experimentation fast and intuitive. Presets from the original LOVE can also be imported, making the transition to LOVE 2 seamless.

Peter V from Dawesome explains, “At the top, you create the texture – the brushstrokes. Below, you shape colour and nuance. LOVE 2 lets you treat sound like light on a canvas.”
With 250+ presets ready to explore, LOVE 2 is aimed at musicians and producers looking to add life and movement to otherwise static sounds, whether in electronic productions, film scoring, or experimental music.

LOVE 2 is available now for $69, with an introductory price of $49 for a limited time. Users upgrading from LOVE 1 can purchase for $29 (intro: $19).
