Description:
A plug-in that you lock before mixing
A full analog roundtrip (preamp, channel, tonebox, tape, and summing) designed to form a sonic fingerprint before moving a single fader
Overview:
You want the sound of a full analog signal, but with the convenience of a plugin. You’ve stacked plugins together, but you’re constantly tweaking each one, questioning every move and drifting away from the mix. You want to focus on “your sound,” without the Jenga tower of plugins with their updates, licenses, and subscriptions.
That’s why I created RoundTrip.
Before the first fader rolls, the magic of a great mix begins with the recordings.
Sometimes a bad mix isn’t about talent or taste; it’s about options overload. Instead of focusing on sound, modern production makes it too easy to undo everything. We keep checking listening chains, swapping out “best” plugins, and making last-minute changes that undermine yesterday’s decisions.
This makes mixes less conscious. RoundTrip is my answer to this: an end-to-end signal path, the same one your audio would have experienced in the analog world, stitching tracks together before you touched a single fader.
I’ve been working this way in my own mixes for years, adding a trusted chain of beloved hardware to all my recordings and software instruments, adding my unique, cohesive fingerprint to each record.
It worked, but it also meant creating and maintaining multiple chains, chasing down hardware and software dependencies, licenses, and insert slots. I needed a single plugin that could cover all stages simultaneously, so I could move faster without sacrificing quality.
RoundTrip brings the unmistakable sound of some of the world’s most coveted hardware to the digital world. But unlike individual instruments, it shows the complete path, meticulously modeled from preamp to final tape. I designed it to stay at the beginning of your workflow as the first plugin that prints directly onto your records, just like all your favorite classic records.
