Anyway, I think it’s impressive that you can really edit/remove everything that the spectrum display shows. You can’t achieve this with an Exciter/Vitalizer. A couple of clicks on “Spectral Recovery” solves the problem. Uncommon for highs to be missing in the frequency spectrum. It’s definitely one of my favorite Plugins when it comes to sound design. Such precise and sophisticated rhythmic sound manipulations can hardly be created in such a short time with any other plugin. The results are always direct and straightforward. Shaperbox does not contain any modules that blur the signal. This reduces the transparency and assertiveness of the signal.

W hat I think is great compared to the competition: Others work a lot with reverb and delay. Above all, the combination of several Shaper (or even several Shaperbox 3 at the same time) allows the sound to be extremely deformed beat-synchronously (if desired). With ShaperBox, the focus is generally on rhythmic modulation using precisely modulatable LFOs, which also makes the plugin absolutely unique. You can easily create wild, audio-mangling presets with a tremendous amount of fun. I like the fact that this plugin often leads to completely unpredictable and unique sounds. The envelope follower’s multi-band properties also allow the use of external side-chaining and internal filters. The possibility of using audio as an internal trigger opens up great possibilities. Moreover, it’s a refreshing new way to change the way I normally produce loops. In Shaperbox 3 there is literally an unlimited amount of combinations of effects you can get.
