Favorite PSP plug-in:
"I've been using PSP plug-ins for a long long time. It's funny to think of a plug-in becoming a "classic" but PSP VintageWarmer is about as close as it comes. There have been too many times to count where I've discovered mid-production that I've inserted it on every track in a session. One of the true great "make everything sound better" tools. I was also thrilled to add PSP Saturator to my toolkit upon its release. It's become indispensable both as a subtle sweetener, and for extreme distortion effects. My other recent favorite is "PSP Wobbler" which likewise is equally at home being an artful and tasteful enhancer, while also capable of the wildest of psychedelic transformations."
