🤔 WHAT IS SHAPERBOX?

ShaperBox 2 (PC/Mac, VST/AU/AAX) is a flexible effects rack for precision mixing and creative sound design. It contains 8 powerful effects called Shapers – place them in any order to create an endless array of effects.

Each Shaper’s effect is controlled by an editable LFO – using Cableguys’ easy editing tools, you can quickly design LFOs of any complexity, combining straight lines and smooth curves.

such a game changing plugin... already obsessed with this.

[FrankPole]

You guys take any effect to the next level. Respect! ✊🏻

[andivax]

Amazing product! And as always very creative demonstration of possibilities!

[guillaumeboyer]

As a melody-oriented guy who doesn't like to spend hours on sound design, this is such a blessing for quick ear-candy toppings...gonna save a bit for this !

[SynthStreet]

Nice, new member of the family!!
Since i got ShaperBox about 4 years ago, its been my favorite and most used plugin ever. From simple tasks to deep sound design. 💗👏👏👏

[samlonde]

You guys do really good short and to-the-point tutorials. I've used your stuff on every track for years now. Thanks for all the hard work that goes into dreaming and building this stuff!

[erickauffmann_official]

Nice! Interesting to see how it helps with mixing as well as creating and modifying sounds

[austincelaya]

There's no other plugin like this out there! You guys did it! Imagine the sound design possibilities!!!

[Jamusictv]

I’m a fan of CG. And this made me happy ! Can’t wait to review and try this one out. 😎

[carlosjazzpick]

Wow, this looks and sounds amazing! plenty of possibilities. You could imagine all kinds of tricks for example filtering frequencies from a drum loop (or whatever you want) and with side chaining submit a second noise source to NoiseShaper and merge the results. That would be thousands of textures for a universe of combinations.

[jamiehunter]

Another great addition to ShaperBox, I was using Noize by Denise audio but this will be my go to plugin now.

[SteliosMusic]

Fantastic. What could be next? ReverbShaper..?

[genuinesoundsmusic]

[Perfettoofficial]

Legit, you guys are always killin it. 🔥

[tonihullzer]

Awesome, perfect for modern production

[truthfarmer]

[weareparkerful]

Definitely gonna add this to my box!
(THATS WHAT SHE SAID!)

[craigdaubbeats-rapinstrume]

Really wish I would've gotten this before RC20

[TwstedTV]

I've been fighting all my life to get noise out of music, even back in the 80's when I worked for major studios.
Here, people are putting noise into their music 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I don't get it. ---- I am still a huge fan of CableGuys... 😎👍

[KareemElMorr]

Shaperbox definitely needs an internal lfo to modulate internal parameters like for example the envelope time… that’s the only thing that I can wish for, otherwise great plugin!
