I discovered HOFA-Plugins when I switch over to Protools 11HDX. Many plugins I had used for ever had yet to port over to aax format. So the lack of familiar tools opened me up to find new ones.
I was intrigued when I found HOFA’s plugins and downloaded demos and wow I was very excited how they had designed these. I found them to be very intuitive and sonically up to my standards. The IQ-EQ with compression became an immediate favorite. The IQ-COMP really helps glue things together.
I just finished working on “The Art of McCartney” record and HOFA tools really served me well on this project. I used the IQ-Reverb for certain sounds and I found the IQ-Analyser a great way to assess a track that was giving me some trouble.
I just started using the new IQ-Limiter and I have yet to find anything else that is so easy and sonically satisfying.

"... in more than 20 years of working with DAWs and plugins, I've never encountered a limiter, that sounds so precise and transparent in the low end as the HOFA IQ-Limiter. A real "weapon"."
Karl "Charlie" Bauerfeind
Sound engineer and producer for bands such as Blind Guardian, Gamma Ray, Gotthard, HammerFall, Helloween, Motörhead, Rage, Saxon, Van Canto, Venom, Inlegend and many more
"This suite of plugins from HOFA have become my go-to tools for live sound.
On a recent tour which included this show at the Sydney Opera House with the Sydney Symphony, I used the IQ-Analyser V2 for all of my measurement, both for the live sound and in Pro Tools for the record.
It is flexible, fast and incredibly powerful. A standout plugin in a very crowded marketplace."

As a live musician, he is a permanent member of the "Söhne Mannheims" live ensemble since 1999.
He also teaches at the Popakademie Mannheim and investigates the wide and fascinating array of popular music production together with his students.
"Whenever you're in need of a dynamic EQ and not a multiband compressor, the IQ-EQ fills the gap that was present for so long. The fact that it's doing this in such a genious and comprehensive way, that really everything was thought of and, on top of it all, that the sound is so convincing, always puts a smile on my face! Like this, a digital EQ is a real treat!"
