Acustica Audio Fire The Pump: https://halloween.acustica-audio.com/
Stay until the end for an A/B/C Drum & Bass comparison of GainStation2, BB N105, and Fire The Pump!


Today I'm testing out the Free release from Acustica Audio called Fire The Pump. It’s an unexpected Halloween gift, part of their popular Fire series plugins, which aim (and mostly succeed) to bring professional results with minimal controls and effort, and mostly contain one knob to do the lion-share of the work.
It’s offered up as a powerful Saturation Product for a fast audio mixing workflow, in fact it’s the first based on the companies 'Hyper' Saturation technology.
I’m going to test it out on a live bass guitar and a drum loop made with Superior Drummer 3 to see what it can do. I haven’t heard it at all yet, so this is a cold first impression.
Thanks a lot for tuning in today!
