Smiley is a simple single-control plugin designed to apply a “smile” EQ curve to the processed audio track. The equalizer curve can be both convex and concave in shape. This is controlled by the direction in which the control knob is rotated. Obviously, the convex (aka “smile”) curve will boost the high and low frequencies, while taming the mid frequencies.

The plugin was developed by Streaky, the mastering engineer behind Streaky Mastering. According to its author, Smiley performs additional DSP processing under the hood. In other words, it’s not just an EQ plugin, but there’s no information on what different types of processing are applied to the signal. Listening to the processed audio, my guess is that Smiley adds subtle multi-band compression to prevent harshness in the high-end. Also, the curve is most definitely not a simple “smile” curve. Most likely, the plugin applies the Fletcher-Munson curve to the signal.

Overall, the effect is subtle, but in a good way. Various “Soundgoodizer-like” effects tend to process the audio very aggressively. Often times, it’s easy to “enhance” the signal a bit too much with such plugins in a way that will quickly cause ear fatigue. I’ve only tested Smiley for a brief amount of time, but it seems to nail the amount by which the audio signal is enhanced. It might not fit everyone’s taste, but it’s definitely worth a try.
Smiley can be downloaded for free from the Audio Anoraks website. A valid email address is required to register for an Audio Anoraks user account before downloading the plugin. Please note that Smiley is compatible with 64-bit hosts only. Also, there’s no VST2 version of the plugin, so you’ll need a DAW that can host VST3, Audio Unit, or AAX plugins.

HOW TO USE VST PLUGINS
VST plugins are virtual instruments and effects that you can use in productions. They can recreate classic synth designs, or represent completely new ways of making sound. VST plugins are easy to use; download them, install, and your DAW will pick them up and let you use them in the workstation. From classic instruments to experimental indie gems, there’s a huge world of both paid and free VST plugins to choose from. Native has spent decades creating and developing some of the world’s leading VST plugins with REAKTOR, KONTAKT, KOMPLETE KONTROL, and loads more.
HOW TO USE VST PLUGINS FOR SYNTH SOUNDS
Soundgoodizer For Macrame
VST plugins can be used in a wide variety of ways to create synth sounds for songwriting and production. Almost any instrument can be turned into a VST plugin, and more often than not, when you need a certain kind of sound there’s a VST plugin for it. There are several varieties of VST plugins for synth sounds that are worth noting. Polyphonic VST plugins create more than one note at a time, so are great for building complex melodies, chords, and harmonies, while monophonic VST plugins play one note at a time and are commonly used for basslines. Some VST plugins strictly model themselves on reproducing sounds you would expect from analogue instruments, but others go way beyond that. Wavetable VST plugins like MASSIVE and MASSIVE X tend to focus on helping producers create something unusual and completely different to traditional instruments, and can be more useful for experimental productions than other VST plugins.
HOW TO USE MULTIPLE VST PLUGINS
Trying things out and exploring new territory is hugely important when trying to craft something unique, and using multiple VST plugins will give you a wide range of instruments and sounds to work with. Chaining multiple VST plugins together sis a typical way to start crafting a sound you can call your own. Feeding one VST plugin instrument into a VST plugin effect will alter them even further. This is also common with digital production as lots of recording tools come in VST plugin form – there’s no issue with running multiple VSTs at once – simply load them in and start playing. Native offers over 2,000 free sounds and more than 6 GB of free VST plugin content with KOMPLETE START, so if you’re looking for some inspiration it’s a great way to get started.
