onI would like to see a Sampler with “humanizing” options, maybe something like what Sitala had.
Thanks for the chance!
Rahul
onI wanna see a new overhauled autotune, that’d be cool.
Matthew
onHello Tomislav, I want to start off by saying I love your site and congratulations on your success! The Inferno SFX Deluxe preview video was so impressive! Flame Sounds does an amazing job creating cinematic effects. I can only imagine the things my band could do with all those sounds. We really have a big interest in using cinematic effects in our metal music but haven’t found the right pack or VST’s yet. As for the VST suggestion, it would be next level if you guys created a user-friendly wave table syth for cinematic sounds. There really aren’t any out there, at least as far as I know! Thanks
Ryan
onI would love to see a BPB tape saturation plugin.
Tracy Ross
onI would like to see a great choir VST
G-Shot
onA Channel Strip like Excite Audio where you can change the order of the effects being used from BPB would be dope!
Kareem Clark
onMultiband tube saturation
Dani
onA transient shaper/designer plugin will be great
Russ
onMaybe a multi-band compressor?
Andrew
onI would love to see a powerful synth, be it a modular synth or a granular synth. BPB Synth should be able to play along the top guns such serum or pigments considering the quality of all the vsts made so far.
Natsuki Davis
onBig fan of chiptune and retro synths. Would love to see more attention to those types of VSTs in 2023
Adam
onA great electric guitar VST would be really great
Conner
onA timed multi-effect like Synchronous Effect Modulator
Alin Cristian
onA PLUGIN THAT POPULATES YOUR LIBRARY WITH EFFECTS, INSTRUMENTS, SOUND AND PRESETS BASED ON THE SONG YOU SELECTED
Listen, this is a good idea: we need a plugin that contains a library of effects presets based on famous songs.
For example, I want to make a song sound like Faint from Linkin Park.
I search for Linkin Park Faint preset and the result will show me all effects applied for drums, guitar, voice, bass, scratch, along with their preset values and suggestions of instruments.
This collection of effects can be either your own, or a selection of third party plugins that you can pay for and download. So basically, it is a search engine for effects, instruments and presets, depending on the song you selected, so a producer no longer has to do that search and test and twitch, which takes a lot of hours.
Then, I can select any of the effects and apply them on my instruments, chain them, change order, or import them as they were chained in the original song.
negativedelta
onsomething fun maybe, like delay lama or meowsynth
Carlos Sanchez
onThose already exist
D

Juan
onA plugin similar to RC-20 Retro Color
Xander RSA
onA multi instrumental plug-in, that has woodwinds, strings, synths, bass, bells, etc similar to Omnisphere (By Spectrasonics) so the user cannot be limited to certain genres when it comes to making music, or….. alternatives to guitar rig 6 (By Native Instruments) and Portal (By Output)
I’ve been using the trail version of fl studio 20 for 3 years, so finally winning a copy might not limit me as it has for so long, so this big to me

Currently we have :
– bpb Saturator
– bpb Dirty Filter
– bpb Dirty LA (compressor)
– bpb Dirty Spring (reverb)
I wonder how a song mixed with bpb plugins only would turn out ? I’m pretty sure it’ll sound good.

onA compressor that can somehow show you the output waveform of the compressed audio or the audio you’re compression. A visual of how the vocal is being compressed. That would help alot of people easily understand how a compressor is working
over
onLightweight and versatile sampler with the ability to modify sample, like sampler in FL Studio, as vst.

I know its hard to make one but its so hard to find a free choir plugin that actually sounds good, can be used in different genres and has multiple articulations.
Umang Raj Shrestha
onA good Eastern Flute Virtual Instrument
Slava
onI would like to see more unusual plugins that make something incredible and unusual out of the sound, like the Digitalis, ShaperBox, Driftmaker, Quanta plugins.
Nicola
onI’d like to see a good reverb plugin
Marco
onA good free plugin like Melodyne or Waves Tune
Natan

Kaspars
onGood luck everyone!
Tony Iunco
onI’d love to see some multi-effect made by BPB with full control over the pre- and post- sound design process.
Imagine a vst like glitch2 + convolution, saturation, eq and comp section before the actual output!
It’d be amazing!
Milos Golubovic
onSome great sound shaping multi fx.
Brad
onA drum sequencer that allows us to drag our own samples in.

Nikita
onHappy Holidays to BPB and the readers of this wonderful online magazine! I come here every day to learn something new! I really want to see a reverb plugin next year! I love OrilRiver, I would like this plugin to be continued to develop and it has left the beta stage, otherwise 5 years have passed and there is still no development.
dubstepper
onWavetable synthesizer with flexible waveform manipulation and synthesis options :o)
Miroslav
onMerry Christmas guys! Let’s release a multitap delay (like Waves have).

mrproducerz
onDefinitely an equalizer!!
Thanh Tam Mai
ona spectral analysis plugin or dynamic eq
piciman
onSpectral processor with advanced features (at least for a freebie) for manipulating the frequency spectrum of audio signals.
managerofnothing
onI would kill for a good sample manager for organizing and auditioning large collections of audio samples.
Sachet Jay
onI’d love to see a glitchy granular plugin, either as an effect like Emergence but with BPB’s simple design ethos, or even an instrument using samples to generate granular sounds!
NasserAl
onSomething like FL Studio’s vst sampling tool, which unfortunalety only works with their proprietary sample format. That would be a true gamechanger.
lblhd
onHarmonic generator
Olah Attila
onA sequencer plugin would be nice.
Paul Korol
onsome simple plugin to tame resonances
TMons
onmultiband compressor and autotune
headgone
onA multiband dynamics processor or dynamic EQ
Kreatén
onsample-based granular synthesis VST would be great for creating unique and creative sound design effects
Pavlina
onA drum machine or synth plugin would be a great addition to any producer’s toolkit.
thejiri
onA tall order, but maybe a simple DAW for music education, with a few audio tracks and a MIDI recording function with notation display, to help introduce children to music and recording.
RudyardH
onmusic theory plugin like Scaler 2, with features to help with theory and chord progressions?
Nirmal lad
onA plugin that combines 2 seperate vst instruments so we can create even more complex sounds/rythms !
Happy New year !
neverendang
onHappy new year, BPB! A channel strip plugin.
eyeful

Dirk
oni would like Space/Reverb may be with the possibility of movements stereo up-down and front-back!
hardunwell
onA plugin that provides a set of advanced tools for editing and manipulating audio in real-time, such as time stretching, pitch shifting, and more, could be a valuable addition
Árpád
onSample-based synthesis would be great
Happy new year!
Vishnu S
onA Rompler with classic 80’s sounds would be a cool idea. And also Happy New Year :)
Jules
onA simple to use granular glitch maschine with stepsequencing. Happy new year to all BPB readers!
Dhana
onBPB Equaliser & compressor
BlueHarizon
onI would like a granular synth + midi functionality (and maybe build-in BPB’s style effects)
We don’t have enough midi synths and/or effects out there so having one of those would be really nice
If that is a little too big of a project then maybe a small drum sequencer with a nice workflow and midi grooves line presets
The drum sequencer is much more practical and will be loved by everyone
Goran
onMultiband compressor or reverb
Aiden
oni would really like to see a good plugin that will include good eq, effects like noise and reverb, delay, it would be nice if it works like a deelay, and of course chorus and flanger
Kez
onI would like to see a sampler that’s has the ability to seperate low, mids and highs and play with frequencies to kill all the sounds it can
zelenec
onA phase vocoder plugin with advanced time and pitch manipulation features could be a useful tool for experimental musicians and sound designers.
LoOki
ontools for creating and manipulating soundscapes and ambiences in audio tracks
indavall3y

Dmitry
onI want to see an equalizer from your team next year.
paulbrittgarcia
onA Caveman Synth for all the Troglodytes out there!
David Ross
onWhat would be new, or unique? We have so much available to us now. I still think there is room for a creative Sampler, one that combines ease of use with tweak-able parameters. Waves came out with one not too long ago, paired with a sample library search editor, which I like but I am not a fan of the Waves update-payment model.
Lance
onI would like to see a granular delay vst
george
oni would love to see bpb release the bacon and egg sizzler
the graphic is a pan with some eggs and bacon
and you turn up the sizzle knob ( and the bacons and eggs face changes ) some compression and eq
and then you got the more fat knob
( the graphic adds in more oil )
some dirt and saturation effects
this is what we need in our lives a great effects and some fun ( better free version of sausage fattener.
George M
onwell, some kind of Multi effects would be great i guess… they’re never enough, and the they can give really creative results :)
Rich
onWould love an emulation of an akai sampler pitch shift/time stretch function to give that authentic old school sound!
Wayne
onAn AI chord pattern generator.
Greg
onI’m still looking for a good sounding and easy to use multiband compressor with a simple and clean GUI. Maybe that’s something BPB could have a go at? Anyway, thank you for everything you have done for us. I wish you and your team a happy and healthy 2023.
Hannes
onA spectral filter with note input and level, width, etc controls for the harmonics
Jeferson Silva
onA Multiband compressor
Lesha
onA de-esser.
System NO3
onHello, thanks a lot for your work and this great newsletter, it’s very useful for us music producers and sound explorers! 😊
I have so many plugins allready… 😅
But if I could get one more… I’d like a MPE compatible Speach synthesizer… Let’s say you could type a word and assign it to a midi note, and trigger one word per key with a MPE midi keyboard that allow you to modulate the voice parameters depending on the velocity, glide, aftertouch… 😁
Francesco Ricci
onFun granular effect
Balam
onA summing mixer emulation, as far as I know, there isn’t a free one, Analog Obsession used to have one, but is not longer compatible with the newer operative systems on Mac (I’m not sure in Windows or Linux). Also, If we use Reaper there is the one from Tukan plugins, but only works on Reaper actually. So please BPB!
Lou DeMarco
onI would love to see a versatile arpeggiator/sequencer VST.
Joost Carpentier
ongranular rhythm generator with endless modulation capabilities… :-)
Steve Miles
onDynamic EQs and Parallel compressors
Thank you
Ilmi W
onA more affordable, decent quality full orchestral library with legato, some dynamic layers and round robin that doesn’t need paid sampler would be nice
I mean, it pretty frustating when you search affordable library because you broke, and then see the library need to be used with sampler that priced even more expensive than premium library
Archer
onI’d love to see BPB release a plug-in that has knobs similar to the One Knob Waves plugins, only have each of them in one giant kit. A fun tweakable tool box that fattens, wettens, and whatever else! A wicked sound design toolbox ❤️
Falko Freund
onMulti FX Unit with a lot of distortion ;-)
THRL
onSomething similar to Extreme Sample Converter, or Samplelord, that can play back “vintage” formats.

Greg Bernes
onI would like to see an easy to use but complete Saturator.
triley37
onOoh a visual/manual pitch correction would be amazing, although, I assume, quite challenging!
Alexey

David
onI would love a plug in like a orchestra
Sami G.
onA distortion plugin would be cool.
Lyrical Glitch
onI would love to see BPB release an EQ plugin like Pro Q3!!!!! Def would be helpful and it would be a quality plugin
Lyrical Glitch

DukeOfDumb
onLET”S GOOOOOO!!!1 FL STUDIO!!1
PapaManu
onI’d like to see a Drum-Synthesizer, where you also could use samples to create different drums, like Kicks, Claps, Hihats or percussion.
Maybe a mixture of “Kick 2″, ” Drumazon” and “VPS Metrum”.
Good luck to everyone, and a happy new year!
Rocky
onEin cleaner EQ wäre bestens.

Andrew
onAn ultimate chorus with different algorithms, and built in compressor
Marc Garcia
onI’d like to see ALL important and known plugins working in Linux as easy as in Windows or Mac. Not for free, I understand Waves has its own prices, for example.
But I think this would be great news for Linux audio producers.
Matheus

Roshan
onVst plugin like melodyne- manual vocal editor
Sergey
onI’d like a random FX plug-in. Each time new FX. =)
Bernard Clarke
onWell, if possible -a pitch plugin that can really do justice to changes especially in the human voice. Or an additive plugin -very rich in potential, though admittedly not the easiest thing to get one’s head around.
Dawans
onI would love❤️a multiband compressor and 808 drum machine or symphonic orchestra instrument.
Okakii
onSynth or reverb
Alvin
onA Randomizer/Sequencer that can easily manipulate Midi, Arps, Dynamics, Automation, and Effects very quickly and efficiently while humanizing the Algorithm’s rhythms and patterns. If that is a bit too much, then how about a handy Random Radio/TV/Social Media Recorder/Sampler? Perhaps a plugin that keeps you focused and on a time limit to completely finish your songs so you don’t end up just making random beats or waste time and energy on mixing/editing before the song is even composed and arranged? I guess you could make it into a task/goal setting vst that could be made into a game with points/trophies/labels and levels after each accomplishment? Just my 2 cents. Thanks for all the great articles, research, opinions, and giveaways! Always look forward to reading your newsletters…
Kyle
onAmp emulation!
Rob Hoek
onThank you for your website. A new synth is always welcome.
Ignacio Barraza
onI will like a reverb plugin,with a special focus on vocal reverb, to have that perfect space. Thanks for the opportunity and good luck for everyone.
koronjone
onA violin plugin will be nice to see or even a trumpet
