Xpand!2 continued to evolve, and demand grew. As the popularity of Pro Tools grew, more and more musicians and producers came to rely on the incredible sonic firepower of this amazing workstation.

With the release of Pro Tools 8, this widely popular workstation was given new controls, improved features, an additional Gigabyte of sounds, and a new name: Xpand!2. Enjoy! AIR Xpand!2Īir Music Technology originally created Xpand! as part of the Creative Collection of instrument plug-ins included as part of Avid™ Pro Tools™. I'm not expecting you to agree with my choices, or to go out and buy every plug-in I talk about. You may want to try them, but like me you may already have a plug-in that's a faithful friend to you, if that's the case then keep on using it.Īs I say what I hope the articles and the comments do is point all of us to some real gems that we may never have tried. What I hope we achieve with this series is sharing of our favourite plug-ins. I'm going to choose a different type of plug-in for each post and I hope you will also suggest a similar plug-in that you use for the same job. These are the plug-ins that you will almost always found sat on my mix somewhere because when I'm mixing I think 'I know what is going to help that' or in some cases rescue it!

Some plug-ins do amazingly complex things whilst other very simple things. Some of them are going to be popular, some not so. In this series I'm going to share the plug-ins I JUST LOVE. If you missed the earlier parts of this new series then to reiterate.
