We’re excited to introduce Swing Master, a real-time audio effect designed to add swing and groove directly to audio. Instead of relying on MIDI or offline processing, Swing Master works on plain audio, making it perfect for modern loop-based and audio-driven workflows.
Swing Master slices incoming audio along the DAW’s beat grid and delays selected steps to generate musically coherent swing, all while staying perfectly locked to the project tempo. This allows you to reshape the feel of drum loops, percussion, samples, and other rhythmic material without manually cutting clips or shifting audio off-grid in the arrangement view.
A built-in De-Bleed system ensures that only the intended portions of the signal are shifted, preventing unwanted overlap and timing smear. Existing micro-timing and pre-shifts remain intact, preserving the original feel of the groove.
To avoid the clicks commonly caused by real-time audio slicing, Swing Master uses a custom de-clicking algorithm that applies musically tuned micro-fades. This removes harsh cutting artifacts while enhancing rhythmic contrast, particularly on non-percussive material.
Why We Built It
We kept running into the same issue: adding swing to audio loops usually meant breaking the groove, destroying micro-timing, or wasting time manually cutting and shifting clips. Swing Master was built to solve that problem in a clean, musical and fast way. Micro-timing is extremely important to the feel of a beat, and we wanted a tool that respected that.
Price & Availability
Swing Master is available now for Windows and macOS in VST3 and AU formats.
For a limited time, it is offered at an introductory price of $39.95, after which the regular price will be $59.95.
