NoiseShaper gives you the secret sauce for lo-fi beats and exciting mixes: noise! Imagine trap melodies crackling like vintage vinyl. EDM synths that fill the speakers with high-end electricity. Drums sizzling with classic console hiss. Pianos submerged in bubbling water. Cassette house grooves, retro gear hum, broken digital textures, organic field recordings… and so much more.
Explore an expansive world of noise with mix-ready noise sources by BT, Cyclick and InsideInfo. Layer them onto any sound in just one click – with built-in dynamic control, NoiseShaper reacts to your music, for noise that breathes with every beat.

“I was able to add depth and space to drums that I would never have been able to with reverb or distortion. I absolutely love it!
César Sogbe, Grammy-winning mix engineer (Prince, Pet Shop Boys, David Byrne)

“This is so genius. It's too amazing. It's insane !!!!!
"
“Really love the new NoiseShaper in ShaperBox!
"
“We really love it. It’s so easy to use and get creative with! We’ve been using it on big synth stacks and our drum groups 🙌🏼
"
“I've been waiting for something like this forever!! Already integrated it into my daily workflow.
"
“Wow, I loooove this! NoiseShaper over a low Reese bass and FilterShaper after it has just sparked the creativity to write a whole new track in a day!
"
“This is going to be my new go-to for injecting noise, vibe and lo-fi vibes into tracks! The feature to follow the envelope of your sound is magic!
John Nathaniel, Producer/Mixer/Songwriter (OneRepublic, Switchfoot, Kygo)
"
“Ohhh this is interesting to get an organic feel into the groove! … I love the noise option, used this already in many tracks. Will use it on my next record for sure. <3
"

It’s a fantastic sound design and mix tool for adding all-important texture, character and movement to any audio.
MusicTech Magazine, October 2021

“It's hard to think of another plugin that gives this sort of control over noise and textures. For FX, texture and percussive patterns this is a must-try — it may be ShaperBox's secret weapon.

An expansive world of noise
Explore an exciting world of noise with a production-ready library crafted by BT, Cyclick and InsideInfo. Get classic synth noise, vinyl crackles, tape hiss, broken textures, organic recordings, and more.
Dynamic and alive
Forget boring static noise with no dynamics – in NoiseShaper, the noise breathes with every beat. Follow mode adds rhythmically synced sizzle. Duck mode fills the gaps with lo-fi textures.
LFOs that you design
With Cableguys' famous LFO drawing tools, it's easy to target specific mix elements – for instance, add noise to just the snare in a loop. You can even design your own rhythmic noise patterns.
Runs in ShaperBox 2
NoiseShaper runs inside Cableguys' acclaimed ShaperBox 2 effects plugin. Use it on its own, or combine with Drive, Time, Crush, Filter, Volume, Pan and Width Shapers. Save 69% and get all 8 Shapers with ShaperBox 2 Bundle.
Easy multiband control
Trigger the noise from up to three frequency bands. Add sizzle to just the hats in a loop, or enhance the kick drum by reacting only to bass frequencies, for example. Or go further: combine up to 3 separate noises with fully independent settings per band.
See your sound
Modulation can be hard to understand – but not with NoiseShaper. You always see exactly what's happening with the big modulation trace, LFO graph, and spectrum view. All expandable, if needed.
Cableguys quality
Every noise is carefully mastered to balance perceived volume, dynamics and frequency response across the entire library, so you can seek out the perfect noise without constantly tweaking the volume up and down.
