Soundtoys 5 Bundle

The full Soundtoys creative-effects rack in one pro bundle — vintage echo, saturation, and modulation across VST3, AU, and AAX on Windows and macOS. It's the efficient buy for producers who want the whole effects palette rather than picking off singles. Note it doesn't support ARM-based Windows machines, and anyone who only needs one effect is better off buying that plugin alone.
