ShaperBox is my most used plugin by far.

Rob Swire (Pendulum/Knife Party)

ShaperBox is my go-to tool for sidechain-style volume ducking. It’s in every project I do.

ShaperBox is a box of many must-have, well organised tools for sound design and even mixing. Multiband filter on basic effects makes them sound absolutely the new different way and inspirational. The 'Time' function is my favourite. For sidechain, I use the VolumeShaper, every day.

Having the ability to bend, slow and manipulate a sound using a single plugin has been a HUGE asset, not just in the area of sound design, but also in conserving processing power. ShaperBox is among our 'Go-To’s' for accomplishing this!

Nard & B, Multi-Platinum Producers (Migos, Future, Lil Uzi Vert)

ShaperBox is the instant inspiration tool – transforming any sound, from subtle to unrecognisable, always in a usable way. An essential plugin for pretty much everybody using a DAW.

DJ Zinc

ShaperBox is a masterpiece of simplicity of use and complexity of sound. In my daily arsenal.

ShaperBox 3 is a beast of an update. From the amazing browser to the super-inspiring LiquidShaper. It’s hard to not put this plugin on every sound!

Mick Schultz, Producer (Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson, Jeremih)

I simply can't do without Cableguys products in my mixing and music production workflow.

Khaliq Glover, Grammy-Winning Engineer (Prince, Justin Timberlake, Herbie Hancock)

ShaperBox gives a unique change to a production when you felt like the beat was already complete.

C.P Dubb, Producer (Tyga, Tory Lanez, French Montana)

ShaperBox is so dope because whatever it is you do, however you create, it’ll help you 10x. I promise you your beats will be sounding ten times better if you use it the right way.

TT Audi of 808 Mafia, Producer (Gunna, Tyga, G-Eazy)

I’m a crazy, crazy user of ShaperBox! Most projects of mine have dozens and dozens of instances.

ShaperBox 3 is a game changer, especially with the new external sidechain features! Dialing in a precise space for your kick will now be an incredibly fast process, no matter how complex the pattern may be! I will use this in every mix!

John Nathaniel, Producer/Mixer/Writer (OneRepublic, Gwen Stefani, Madison Beer)

ShaperBox 3 is instantly inserted on almost every channel. It’s so versatile , and the new features allow me to add so much character to the production, love it!

Wouter Janssen of Showtek

ShaperBox was a game changer for me and an indispensable tool all throughout the score for Doom, for both mixing and creative purposes. .. Before ShaperBox, I’d have to use at least four completely different plugins to achieve what one instance of ShaperBox can on its own – and with great ease, I might add!

Stuck with a lifeless pad or a boring reverb tail? ShaperBox is the perfect antidote. It's a marvellous and marvellously easy-to-configure range of effects, from filters and drive to panning and time manipulation.

Sound On Sound, June 2021

For ease of use, GUI layout and fluidity of editing, ShaperBox 3 is still the king. The star of the show is the new Audio Triggering mode. Whether we’re working on technical mixing tasks or wild sound design, we can’t imagine producing without it.

10/10 – Excellence Award, MusicTech Magazine, December 2022

ShaperBox 3 allows you to really take control of the effects and apply loads of dynamics to achieve the outcomes you want. And, with audio and external triggering, it is now more powerful than ever.

9/10, Computer Music magazine, January 2023

ShaperBox was already a great go-to tool — and it's now slicker and more capable than ever. It remains one of the best tools for rapidly adding rhythmic interest to any sound.

Animate any effect over time with our easiest ever waveform-editing tools. Create curved, stepped, or ramped FX patterns in seconds, and bring rhythmic life to your music.

Sync your waveforms to beats and bars so they're always locked to your music. Go from 1/4-note pumping FX to evolving multi-bar patterns and beyond. All with sample-tight accuracy.

Now you can trigger all 10 ShaperBox effects with any sound, for reactive time-twists, distortion envelopes, filter plucks, transient design, and any other triggered FX you can imagine.

Want to duck your bass with VolumeShaper, but the kick isn’t 4x4? No problem! Just turn on the External Sidechain Input and Audio Triggering follows any kick rhythm.

And it’s not only for ducking basslines. Want to trigger a bitcrushing pattern on your synth every time the snare hits? Now you can.

See your kick drum overlaid on the bassline with VolumeShaper’s new Show External Sidechain feature. Draw the perfect ducking curve to match the contour of your kick, and lock your lows together like never before.

Every Shaper can be split into 3 bands, for tightly focused processing. Drive the bass. Stutter the mids. Reverse the highs. All 3 bands get their own LFO and Envelope Follower.

A dedicated Oscilloscope Tool helps you visualise the dynamics of your music and pinpoint mix problems.

A high-res waveform display locks to beats and bars, audio or MIDI. External sidechain overlay allows you to easily compare any two tracks in your project, in real time.

New for ShaperBox 3.5, DriveShaper's Smooth Clip distortion will bring the heat to your sounds.

FilterShaper Core's Warm filters now have control over Resonance Distortion inside the filter circuit – it's like a real analog filter pushed to the limit. Control squealing resonances, get warm textures, and enable Hard Dist for added crunch.

Turn off the new Safe Res option to unlock filter self-oscillation, allowing the filter to be used like an oscillator. Go from warped bass tones, electro kicks and whistling leads… to full-on modular-style mayhem!

This update also adds an animated filter response curve, making it even easier to see the modulation as it happens.
