Plugin recommendations are still in development and aren't part of the app today. This article previews how the feature will work once it launches. In the meantime, you can find plugins with search and filters.

The recommendation assistant will act as your personal plugin consultant. You'll describe what you're trying to achieve, and it will suggest the best plugins from your library for the job — drawing on what you own and how each plugin sounds.

Recommendations from your library

The assistant will only recommend plugins you actually own. It won't suggest plugins you don't have, so every recommendation will be actionable.

What You'll Be Able to Ask

The assistant will focus on plugin recommendations and comparisons. Here are some example prompts you'll be able to use:

Recommendation prompts:

  • "What's a good compressor for hip-hop vocals?"
  • "I need a reverb for a dreamy ambient pad"
  • "Which EQ should I use for surgical problem-solving?"
  • "What can I use to add analog warmth to my mix?"

Comparison prompts:

  • "What's the difference between Pro-Q 3 and Saturn 2?"
  • "When should I use the 1176 vs the LA-2A?"
  • "Compare my tape saturation plugins"

Workflow prompts:

  • "Build me a vocal chain for rock music"
  • "What plugins should I use for mastering?"
  • "Help me set up parallel compression on drums"

Getting Better Results

Be specific about your context

The more context you provide, the better the recommendations will be. Instead of "what compressor should I use?", try "what compressor should I use on aggressive rock drums that need punch?"

Include the genre or style

Different genres have different conventions. A "good" reverb for ambient music is very different from one for country or metal.

Mention the instrument or source

"EQ for bass" will give more useful results than just "EQ". The assistant will know which of your plugins work well for specific sources.

Describe the sound you want

Use descriptive terms like "warm", "aggressive", "transparent", "vintage", "modern", "punchy", or "smooth".

What the Assistant Won't Do

Focused scope

The assistant will be specifically designed for plugin recommendations. It won't be a general audio engineering tutor or a replacement for learning your craft.

The assistant will stay focused on helping you choose and use plugins from your library. It won't:

  • Teach general audio engineering concepts in depth
  • Recommend plugins you don't own
  • Help with DAW-specific questions unrelated to plugins
  • Provide mixing or mastering services
  • Write music or generate audio

If you ask something outside its scope, it will politely redirect you to its core purpose: helping you get the most out of your plugin collection.
