I LOVE THESE PLUGINS !! ❤️

I’ve spent years collecting audio plugins. It’s refreshing to find a boutique company like Clark Audio that delivers inspiring software.
Verified
Great company. I had some issues with installing and the support guided me via video which was amazing. They don’t just make great plugins, they provided amazing support and knowledge which makes these guys a top 5 plugin company imo.
Verified
Very smooth experience from purchase to installation. The team seems to be very hands on and involved, constantly improving and releasing updates. Purchasing a plugin from these guys is like investing into better and better software. Great job guys.
Verified
Really good company and product. Installation went smoothly as well. My only problem was the download link on the landing page after my purchase downloaded the Mac version and not PC. I tried twice just to make sure I didn’t click the wrong one. The good news is the link in the email they sent worked fine.
Verified
Highly useful software. Great company.
Verified
I’m very happy with the sound quality of the instruments provided. I got a really great deal on the purchase and the Customer Support is stellar. I would highly recommend Lofi Panda 3 on the sound uniqueness alone.
Verified
Really impressed with Lofi Panda v3.2, it’s a significant update from v2 – everything from sound quality to variety of instruments is greatly improved. This is major upgrade in my opinion.
Verified
Overall, is a great sound designing tool, It can definitely be used to create ambiences, guitar tones , etc. It’s simple, fun and great sounding.

I think it is a really nice plug-in on the assumption that it allows you to drastically change the files you use. For experimental music or sound design I think it is really nice. The tempo sync button is amazing because with many other plug-ins you often waste a lot of time setting the ‘ms’ for the various effects and making them fit within the song’s tempo. I tried the plug-in with both midi files and audio files. Using the various presets I found it very good and I think I would use it quite often in my projects as it adds a lot of dynamics and especially the saturator seems optimal.
Verified
This is an awesome plugin I will certainly be using often. I personally like using the ‘Fuzz’ on 808s and the presets come handy when I am working on samples
Verified
This plugin has great versatility which makes it a useful addition to a plug-in library. A producer or artist looking to add some color or character to their sound design would find this plug-in quick and easy to use. The combination of reverb, saturation, modulation, and delay are some of the most useful tools many producers reach for when mixing and having all of them in one plug-in is really advantageous. This plug-in would be something I would find myself reaching for quite often
