Third-party developers

A number of software and plug-in developers seem particularly DP-friendly, either producing native MAS-format plug-ins or going out of their way to provide optimum Audio Unit compatibility:

Ultimate Sound Bank

A French company behind MOTU’s premium software instruments such as MachFive, and their sound libraries. The free UVI Workstation software should have been - maybe still could be - DP’s answer to Logic’s EXS-24

Audioease

Innovative and groovy Dutch developers of the superb Altiverb and Speakerphone plug-ins

Waves

Israeli developer of heavyweight (and expensive) plug-in suites. No longer a developer of MAS format plug-ins, but responsive to DP updates

WaveArts

A US-based developer in MOTU’s neck of the woods. Fine individual plug-ins and plug-in bundles. MasterRestoration is the cream of the crop

PSP Audioware

No MAS plug-ins, but a good awareness of DP. VintageWarmer is a true classic in the plug-in world, and recent EQs and dynamics rival the very best

iZotope

Cutting-edge plug-ins, including the Swiss Army Knife Ozone 4, and the incredible RX noise reduction and specral manipulation suite
