Appendix 3Audio Processing Plugins

A3.1. Introduction

In the course of this book, I have mentioned the use of plugins many times, especially in Chapter 3 of this volume. You will find below a set of tables gathering together the main plugins on the market for each treatment. This content is far from being exhaustive, the list of plugins is long, changes and is often renewed.

If you want to find out more, check the reference list at the end of this book and see what is available from each of the publishers.
