Easy Access to the Mixing Techniques of Rihanna, Lizzo, The Weeknd Mixer
10x Grammy® winner Manny Marroquin is the mixer of choice for hip hop, pop, and R&B royalty: Rihanna, Post Malone, Lizzo, The Weeknd, Ed Sheeran, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, John Mayer, Lorde… the list goes on.
Designed with Manny, these plugins give you easy access to his signature compression, EQ, delay, reverb, saturation, and vocal cleaning sounds—so you can dial in pro-level polished sounds quickly.
Get Polished, Present Vocals Quickly
Manny Marroquin is known for his clean, present, sparkling vocal mixes. Under the hood, Triple D uses Manny’s advanced dynamic EQ and multiband compression processes to control boxy, harsh, or sibilant vocal sounds only when they’re present—and otherwise, leaves the vocal alone.
Thicken Your Sound with Manny’s Signature Saturation
Layer nuanced distortion to growl and tease instead of crush. Thicken digital synths, add grit to bass amps, toughen up drums, make single-coil pickups more assertive, and do it all with stylish distortion that delivers feel.
The Greatest Analog EQs—in a Single Plugin
Combine Manny’s favorite EQ curves from equalizers by Neve, API, SSL, Avalon, Motown, and others—now you have 34 frequency curves hand-picked by a superstar mixer. Under the hood, this is one of the most flexible, intelligent EQ plugins ever.
Deep Delay Sounds for Vocals and More
MM Delay includes all the elements of Marroquin’s personal delay sound: reverb, distortion, doubler, and phaser. The result is deep, evocative delay—especially for vocals—that you have to hear to believe.
Multiband Compression, Made Easy
Layering multiband compression can do wonders, but it’s hard to set up. So, let Tone Shaper do the prep work—then tweak the bands for resonant kicks, sizzling cymbals, punchy guitar mids, fuller bass, and more.
Advanced Reverb Techniques Packed into a Simple Interface
Based on a personal vision of reverb that requires multiple effects, MM Reverb combines compression, EQ shelving stages, thru-zero flanging, pre-delay, parallel distortion, and 18 reverb algorithms in one stunning plugin.
