Products on (very) special offer was the first attraction. I bought Orchid and Obsidian. I have used both plugs already. Particularly useful when looking for an inspiring or upfront effect rather than classic chorus etc. Both offer a huge range of sounds. Good value!

Look deeper into WA Productions if you want better mixes.

Easy website UI, easy to navigate software GUI. Great sound quality, transparency and ease of use. I own WA's "Deres" unmasker, which I havent used just yet, (only 2 day$ ago!). Currently I use Waves Factory "Equalizer" which is my go to on chains for vocals, acoustic guitars, both of which tend to be difficult to control harshness and masking in their respective frequency ranges. I also put Waves Factory "Equalizer" last in my master chain (right after Sonible's "Pure Limiter"), to finish out any frequency masking that could be going on in my overall mix. I also own WA's "Sphere Delay," which I will chain together with Audio Thing's "Dub Step." These 2 FX should work together quite well, at least in my head, for creating new, unique and exciting soundscapes. WA's KSHMR for boosting kick drums is an enhanced transient shaper I look forward to trying out. Currently, I have BOZ labs "Das Boot" and SPL's "Transient Designer Plus" I use interchangeably. To give my low end a little oopmh, I toss in Brainworx's "SubSynth" to bring out those rumblies. I can't wait to try out WA's KSHMR to see if I can narrow the number of plugs in my Drum buss chain. WA's "Orchid" and "Outlaw" look very interesting so far, but I have not been able to try them out before writing this little review. If they stack up anything like the rest of WA's plugins, I have no worries. AND, THANKS FOR NOT REQUIRING ILOK.

Excellent quality.

Excellent quality.

When the prices are so low that you can't resist. I've never regretted a purchase from WA Production.

Consistent value for the money.

In an age where there are seemingly…

In an age where there are seemingly endless choices for sound design and sonic sculpting, W.A.'s Deres checks a lot of boxes we need in our 6 day a week full time production facility.

First one we check, is the product stable right out of the box?
There is a zero tolerance policy regarding this after being a beta tester for many numerous developers that point their buggy software on the end user.
This developer has taken a lot of care, time, and attention to detail to listen to the community and how their new offerings work for people (or don't) and are open to feedback.
There are so many expensive and 'big name' developers that consistently deliver poor QAed products. Anytime something crashes and costs time during a session is factored into the cost of ownership, regardless of sound quality.

My first dip into W.A.'s ecosystem of tools has been fantastic on a lot of accounts.

Practical, steady running, and inexpensive tools that pack an immense value.

Normally don't take a lot of time for reviews, but appreciated the developers take on providing their own time for such an inexpensive tool that packs an immense value.

Great company

Great company, Great products and lots of freebies. After I made a small purchase I was given access to a vault that had 4 times the amount of content of what I purchased. I will be making more urchases in the future.

Proud to be their customer

I use this company's plugins since they initially entered this market. They were cheap, and even though the company seemed insignificant at that time, their plugins were good. Their new products are great, I am proud to be their customer.
My recent purchase went smooth. I use Deres in every project on every track. It is very CPU efficient, does what it is supposed to do - clean the signal from annoying frequencies, leaving the rest of it intact. As a result, the entire mix sounds just as good, only better. =)

Easy navigation and Quality products

Site is very easy yo navigate and find what you're looking for. Items purchased are nicely designed and become useful tools in the music making process. Will return I'm sure to purchase plugins again.

Plugins that I actually use!

The verity and quality of plugins offered are useful. Lots of them are in my go to toolbox. Whenever I’m looking for something quick and simple, without skimping on quality of sound I often find what I’m looking for with ease. The recent releases have been amazing.

big thumbs up for the customer service.

I bought the sample pack "Dramatic Orchestra Toolkit 2" and while the stems were really good, I was disappointed to see there were no dry stems included so my usecase dropped significantly.
After consulting the customer service about this inconvinience they were very quick and extremely willing to help to make more than up for it.

Hi there -- I'm sorry that you are frustrated, however, this is simply not what happened. The plugin was added to your account correctly. However, you didn't realize that you had multiple accounts and were logged into the wrong one. Because of this, I already merged the accounts for you to ensure you have your orders in one place. I've been actively responding to your emails to help resolve this issue. Your issue was not that you didn't receive your products but that you were logged into the wrong account, which has been resolved. I'm disappointed that you chose to write this negative review despite the error not being our fault, and us already resolving it for you.

I am not a professional musician or singer and have no vocal training. So my voice wasn't really present in the recording. With the Vocal Shaper this has improved significantly and is exactly the right plugin for those who make music privately and want a good result.

After several requests and emails I still have not received any support.
I paid for my license but it’s not showing in my account. Hope I haven’t been scammed?

Hi there -- we actually did not receive a single message from you until after this review was already posted. If you sent anything before that, perhaps it was sent to the wrong place? We have now already replied to your request and are awaiting your response. We will do our best to assist you, but in future we would prefer if you allow us to assist with the request before you post a public review.

Worth the purchase

It actually does what advertises it's does make a good starting point for melodys and counters. The only thing I wish is being able to import a wave loop you created and I belive you can put in your own midi progression so it's not a big problem. So all in all it's pretty great

A variety of great plugins.

W.A. Production has great products that I use in my music recordings and mixes. They are an organized and trustworthy company compared to all others out there. It doesn't take long to buy a plugin and be up and running in no time. I will say that if you try any W.A. plugins, you won't be dissatisfied :)

This email sent too early.

I think this email asking for a review has come a little early. I only purchased it a week ago, and haven't actually had much time with the product, yet. I get the company may be enthusiastic to hear back, but I'd recommend giving it a month, rather than a week. So far so good though.

Hi there -- Thank you for your feedback, however, after much testing, the current system leads to the most engagement from our customers. While you may need more, other people may feel 1 month is too long. We value your opinion and take our reviews seriously as they help us improve our products. While we understand your suggestion to wait a bit longer before requesting a review, however, you of course would have been welcome to delay posting a review until you felt more comfortable, or to not share a review at all. It seems if you have not formulated a strong opinion yet, waiting until you have done so may have been the better option? It is a bit confusing that you have given us what we consider to be a negative review (3 stars) yet are saying "so far so good".

Solid sales

Solid sales. Good reps. Good products. I've never had an issue with WA Productions and would recommend them to anyone looking for music production sounds, effects, or plugins.
