What is Audio Plugin Union (Boris FX)
- Audio Plugin Union is a part of Boris FX focused on audio plug-ins — mixing, mastering, audio cleanup / restoration tools.
- Its aim is to provide precise tools for audio engineers, producers, and musicians who want to complete projects quickly but with high quality.
Main Suites / Packages
Audio Plugin Union organizes its tools into different suites or bundles. These suites group plugins with similar purposes or workflows. Here are the main ones:
Suite Purpose / What it contains Ideal Use Case
wizardFX Suite 11 plug-ins. Designed for fast changes, “one-slider philosophy,” many presets. Great for quickly getting creative or making adjustments. When you need to make shine, coloration, or effect tweaks quickly without deep parameter tweaking.
coreFX Suite 9-10 powerful effects for mixing and mastering. Offers essential tools across many common categories. For broader mixing/mastering work: on tracks, groups, master channel.
colorFX Suite 3 plug-ins focused on tone and character, including analog-like warmth, distortion, coloration. When you want to “color” your sound — add character, grit, or warmth. Good for vocals, guitars, mastering chain tweaks.
Other Tools & Features
Beyond the suites, there are more specialized tools, especially for restoration / cleanup:
- CrumplePop: AI-powered tools for audio restoration (echos, wind, traffic, pops, etc.).
- SoundApp: A simpler drag-and-drop app for common cleanup (echo, wind distortion, traffic, uneven vocals). Easier workflow when you don’t need deep control.
- There are also dedicated plug-ins for specific cleaning tasks: e.g. removing rustle, removing pops, dealing with clip distortion, etc. Some listed: WindRemover, TrafficRemover, PopRemover, etc.
Workflow & Usability
- The design philosophy includes making tools that are fast to use, with many presets and simple controls for certain suites (especially wizardFX). This helps speed up workflow.
- For deeper mixing / mastering, you’d use more detailed tools in coreFX. For coloring/tone, colorFX gives more character.
- The cleanup tools are particularly useful for e.g. video editors, podcasters, or anyone working with less-than-ideal recordings. Noise, unwanted background sounds, etc., can be addressed with AI or specialized restoration plug-ins.
Platforms / Compatibility / Trials
- These plug-ins are usable in most major DAWs and hosts. (Exact host compatibility depends on the specific plug-in; Boris FX supports many standards.)
- They offer free trials. Some trials include watermarks or limited features. For example, with the cleanup tools there may be an “audio watermark” in trial mode.
