Designed by SomeoneWho Produces It
Insect Audio builds VST plugins for hip hop and beat-driven music - starting with feel, not algorithms.
Built From the Music Out
Every Insect Audio plugin starts with a musical question: what does this source material want to become? The feel, the character, the way a sound sits in a mix - that comes first. The engineering follows.
We are producers before we are developers. That shapes every decision we make - what we sample, how we process it, and what we leave out.
Who We Are
Max
The Heart & the Brain
... has spent years producing hip hop and teaching drum theory. He's the reason our tools feel right - he plays a reference, says "like that," and we don't stop until we get there.
Insect Audio started where two professions meet: a producer who knew exactly what was missing from their toolkit, and a software engineer who knew how to build it. The overlap was hard to ignore.
That intersection is what the company is built on - and it shapes every decision we make, from how a plugin feels to how it ships.
We Build for One Thing
Our plugins are for producers who want sounds that are genuinely theirs, not presets from a library everyone uses or samples everyone's already heard. If you want a texture that doesn't exist anywhere else, that's exactly who we build for.
