Plugin Alliance to distribute Unfiltered Audio Plugins

Plugin Alliance has joined forces with Unfiltered Audio, a music software firm in Southern California, in a partnership that will see Plugin Alliance take over the worldwide distribution, marketing and support for the company's products.

Plugin Alliance say "Unfiltered Audio has already gained international media acclaim for its G8 Dynamic Gate and Sandman delay plugins, which have earned the company a reputation for introducing creative and novel audio processes while maintaining practical utility for professional music production and sound design":

• G8 1.2 Dynamic Gate ($69 MSRP) adds native AU sidechains, a new Dark UI mode and improved waveform drawing. While its interface is not intimidating, G8's functionality far exceeds that of a standard noise gate. It can perform polyrhythmic beat slicing, AM/granular synthesis, MIDI instrument triggering or fractal auto-panning and tremolo. With four-channel output and complex in-DAW routing, it can even split the amplitude of a single source to route to different tracks.
• Sandman 1.1 Delay ($49 MSRP) makes its Dry/Wet mix a lockable parameter and adds a Ping-Pong delay mode and a Kill switch. This deceptively simple plugin starts with all the essentials of a host-synched delay. Then the Sleep button throws your audio for a loop, freezing it and repeating it based on the delay value. From there, synch-able LFOs, a variable sample rate, loop reversal and other parameters send you on a wormhole ride of endless sonic possibilities.

"Unfiltered Audio is the perfect partner for us," said Plugin Alliance CEO Matt Ward. "They're a young and innovative company making great products, but who lack the resources to really get them out into the market. We are more than thrilled to share these remarkable plugins with the Alliance community."

"We are extremely excited to be working with Plugin Alliance. With their resources and expertise, we can bring our award-winning plugins to an even higher level of quality," said Michael Hetrick, co-founder of Unfiltered Audio. "Now we also can dedicate ourselves full-time to the creation of cutting-edge creative music tools. Our customers love our products, and we cannot wait to share them with a larger audience!"
