Emlyn In The Mix Podcast

Today I'm checking out the brand new UVI Orchestral Suite 2 — a completely redesigned orchestral plugin featuring strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion, choirs and the new Composer chord engine for fast cinematic-style orchestral writing. In this video we explore the new interface, sound quality, articulations, workflow and whether Orchestral Suite 2 could become one of the best affordable orchestral plugins for producers, composers and media creators.

BLEASS Peaks is not your normal EQ plugin… this thing completely reimagines how you shape sound using dynamic peak filtering, modulation, and creative frequency movement. In this video, I dive into what makes BLEASS Peaks so unique, how it works in real-world music production, and why it might be one of the most powerful mixing and sound design tools right now. If you're into EQ plugins, sound design, or mixing techniques, you need to see this.

Wingman by Mixed In Key is a powerful music production plugin that listens to your audio and generates chords, basslines, and MIDI ideas that actually fit your track—perfect for producers, DJs, and songwriters working in Ableton, Logic Pro, or any DAW. Using advanced key detection, stem separation, and audio-to-MIDI conversion, Wingman helps you turn rough ideas, vocals, or loops into full arrangements in seconds, making it one of the fastest ways to write chord progressions, remix tracks, and finish songs without deep music theory knowledge.

Arturia's NEW Augmented PERSIA blends deeply expressive Middle Eastern instruments with modern synthesis to create powerful, cinematic soundscapes unlike anything else in the Augmented Series. In this video, we explore its unique textures, presets, and real-world music production potential to see if this is Arturia's most inspiring instrument yet.

UVI Vintage Vault 5 is here and it might be one of the most complete retro instrument collections ever released… but what really surprised me was the Vintage Casio Legacy. In this video I dive deep into the sounds, textures and hidden gems inside this collection, exploring everything from classic lo-fi tones to quirky digital nostalgia that still holds up in modern production. If you're producing in Ableton, Logic, FL Studio or anything else — these sounds can seriously inspire your next track.

If your loops feel static or lifeless, this might be the easiest way to fix it. In this Emlyn in the Mix Podcast episode, I dive into Relooper by United Plugins — a super creative effect that slices, rearranges, and injects groove into your sounds in seconds.

If your beats feel static and need real groove, Groovemate LATIGO might be the secret weapon. This Latin percussion plugin gives you a full virtual percussionist with authentic congas, shakers, tambourines and more, plus over 460 real performed grooves you can drag straight into your DAW. Whether you're making house, hip-hop, pop or Latin music, LATIGO adds that human feel, movement and energy that instantly levels up your tracks. In this video I take it for a spin and show you exactly why this might be one of the easiest ways to make your productions groove harder.

Arturia FX Collection 6 is here and it brings five powerful new additions to the table: Tape J37, Mix Drums, Bus Transient, Efx Ambient and the legendary Pitch Shifter-910. In this video I dive straight into what these new plugins actually do, how they sound in a real mix, and why FX Collection 6 might be one of the most complete modern mixing and production bundles available right now. If you're into music production, mixing, sound design or building a serious plugin arsenal, this is one you need to see.

The Kaoss Pad is BACK! In this video I take a first look at the brand new Korg Kaoss Pad V. Let's see what's new, what's changed, and whether the KP5 lives up to the legendary Kaoss Pad name for producers, DJs and live performers.

In this video I take a relaxed look at Arturia Pigments 7, doing some preset surfing, light navigation, and sharing my honest thoughts after finally spending time with it. I'm a little late to the party, but wow — Pigments 7 is an inspiring, great-sounding synth that's easy to get lost in. No hype, just my 2 bobs worth from a chilled session in the studio.

In this final Emlyn in the Mix episode for 2025, I'm checking out Arturia's BRAND NEW AstroLab 37 alongside the NEW Arturia Keystep to see how well they integrate together in a real-world setup.While each of these instruments deserves its own deep dive, I decided to kill two birds with one stone and explore how the Keystep performs as a controller for the AstroLab 37 — workflow, playability, and creative potential included.If you're considering either of these new Arturia releases, this video will give you a solid first look at how they work together.
