Autoformer Black Friday pricing from United Plugins brings this vocal and bass dynamics plugin to $10, 90% off, with the deal running until Nov 29, 2026.
Autoformer puts an analogue-style preamp, an automatic volume rider and a gentle compressor into one plugin. The maker built it for performances that are close to right but not quite there.
It can work almost inaudibly or add colour to a track, depending on which sections you engage.
The maker points it at vocals and voice-overs first. It also covers bass guitar and double bass, and it can balance drum recordings too.
The signal chain runs through three sections, with five LED meters showing what each stage is doing.
The BR button stands for classic fat British consoles. US is the punchy American-style input. GE gives the colourful vintage German tube console sound, which the maker calls velvet.
In the Balancer, the SEER parameter detects the incoming signal ahead of time to decide whether the material needs a level change. The LEVELLER then makes that adjustment. The maker says the result is inaudible.
The compressor in the Finish section is there to soothe dynamics without changing the spectral character of your signal. The maker's line for it: no colour, just fix.
Every section has its own bypass switch, so any part can work as a single effect. You can run only the automatic volume function, or the preamp together with the compressor.
The interface is a photorealistic 3D design. Drag the arrow in the bottom right corner to shrink it and save screen space, or enlarge it for easier control.
Internally the plugin processes audio at 64-bit and handles any sampling rate, including 192 kHz and higher. Its smart bypass avoids clicks and noises when you automate the bypass parameter.
Activation uses licence files. Autoformer works without an iLok, a dongle or an online connection, and you may install it on every machine you personally work on.
There is also a 15-day unlimited trial with no saving limits and no added noise.
Yes. The Autoformer Black Friday deal takes 90% off United Plugins' dynamics processor, bringing it to $10, and it runs until Nov 29, 2026. It combines a preamp, an automatic volume rider and a gentle compressor.
Autoformer holds three sections: a preamp with BR, US and GE circuit types, a Balancer volume rider driven by the SEER and LEVELLER controls, and a fast compressor. Five LED meters show each stage, and every section can be bypassed on its own.
On Mac it runs as VST2, VST3, AAX or AU on macOS 10.10 and later, 64-bit only, including M1 Silicon Macs. On Windows 8 to 10 it runs as VST2, VST3 or AAX, in 32-bit or 64-bit. An Intel/AMD processor with SSE2 support is needed.
No. The maker says activation needs no iLok, dongle or internet access, because the software uses licence files. You can use it on all your computers as long as you are the user, and a 15-day unlimited trial is available.
