[QuentinLamerand]

It’s a huge honor to be a part of this list, being one of the Beatsurfing developers, and a big fan of your channel (I even bought your online course).

[KoreanWizard]

James Blake reaching out is so dope, you should get him on one of the producer vs sample videos, he's been in the beat making/producing scene for sooo long

[steven.youngson]

Transition is my favourite plugin of the year. I have used it 99% on random mode only. I automate a transition where I want it, put it on loop and hit random until I like it. Genius level plugin

[MusikHack]

Andrew, this is awesome! We appreciate you trying out Master Plan. Honored to have made the list!!

[DerekHardwick]

I'm not really a musician, but what I love so much about all of these plugins is that it gives me serious late 90s computer vibes in that there is just SO MUCH experimentation with UI going on. I'm getting heavy Winamp feels whenever I watch someone use these tools.

[blacksaltaudio]

Thanks Andrew! The entire team was stoked to see that Silencer made the list. Keep up the great work.

[vekst]

Synplant 2 is absolutely insane, nice to see that it was your #1

[WangleLine]

The blob/matter synth sounds so cool, holy shit

[djvictornova]

What i love about this channel is that its not a Copy and Past type of channel .. Thx Andrew for theses great top 10...

[Kjelteman]

Damn Transit really got robbed with that honorable mention 😂

Seriously though, Transit was exactly everything I needed to finish my improv EDM rig, thank you so much Andrew.

Cant believe how i have 7 Transits running without my 10yo cpu shitting the bed

[slash]

This video sold master plan to me, literally. I'd watched other reviews and gone back and forth but this made clear how badly i need it.

[JTX]

This guy is single handedly getting me back into music production after 12 years of disillusionment.

[klevgrand]

Thanks for featuring Tomofon!! Keep up the great work 🫶

[TristanOfficial]

Huang you’re the Don!!! So much inspiration in this video I’m itching to go software shopping now and then write some banging tunes!! Thanks xx

[theovergoat]

I think speldosa by klevgrand also deserves a lot of attention, definitely recommend it for that Wintergatan music box sound

[lincolnall]

Andrew- if you see this you gotta check out the oxford drum gate for gating drums. Works similar to silencer but it has fine control over the decay and a leveler section- seems like it has a lot more control to it.

[rbeattaylor]

It’s crazy I knew synth plant was gonna be number 1, it’s so amazing

[enricopersia]

The sounds made by the blob are just out of this world. If you make it play just by clicking I feel like years of pc gaming will pay off

[linus.catch.the.sinus.]

I love Transit!! It’s really awesome how quick you can make interesting transitions ❤ thanks for that!!

[wak]

Appreciate you not shilling in this video and being honest in the intro.
