" One more time, Babelson audio has done it! Making sophisticated audio processing extremely easy to use and musically satisfying… After a minute or two I was in love with I-LA though I don’t like much “normal” multi-band compressors… but this one is a different beast. Just play with the drive parameter, listen to individual bands, Mid or Side, with the convenient Solo feature and prepare to smile like a young lover! I-LA is a unique audio tool and definitely a “must -have” like other Babelson products such as HLS Drive, FDN Eq, or Becomp." Fabrice Chantôme

About...

Babelson M4B emulates the sound of audio recorded through tape machines. The plugin introduces odd order harmonics, subtle compression, and non-linear shifts in frequency response. The M4B also rolls off high-end frequencies and creates a small boost in the lows. Moreover, it rounds off transient peaks, creating a form of compression that smooths out the signal. The M4B is sounding musical, warm, punchy and It also adds dimension, fatness and depth to your mix.

FDN Series | EQ & Saturator

After many years as a developer for Waves, Thomas Ceyhan struck out on his own last year, and he has already built up an impressive library of plug‑ins under his Babelson Audio label.

Many of these tools embody a visual and sonic aesthetic that’s derived from studio gear of the past, but they don’t emulate specific vintage items. Instead, the approach seems to be to cherry-pick favoured elements of classic designs to create a simple but effective hybrid.

That’s certainly the case with the three plug‑ins in the FD Bundle. Each comprises three main components: a simple equaliser with high and low shelving bands, a virtual input transformer and a valve saturation stage. The EQ and transformer modelling are identical in all three FD plug‑ins, with the latter being modelled after the classic Marinair design used in vintage Neve modules.
