“The Abbey Road Collection is my go-to for plugins. I recently recorded at Abbey Road and now I can keep that sound alive while mixing elsewhere!”

Charlie Andrew Producer, Mixing Engineer, Songwriter

“The Abbey Road Collection is an incredible group of plugins for adding character through harmonic distortion, REDD is great – and the EQ and drive options are perfect for fattening drums. The TG12345 can add definition to a mix with a subtle bit of spread and presence. The J37 Tape plugin is another favourite – I love digging into the wow and flutter controls for wonky effects and being able to add saturation and slapback for an instant vintage feel.”

“I'm loving the Abbey Road Collection, especially Vinyl. Vibe on-demand!”

The Boxer Rebellion

“The Abbey Road Collection, especially the Reverb Plates plugin, really brings our music to life. It gives us a space, dimension and feel that we’d be lost without.”
