Lo-fi is the hottest trend in music production right now—for good reason.

Inspired by the sound of modern Lo-Fi music, our ambitious sound engineers have created a unique collection of samples, loops and constructors that give you everything you need to create your own outstanding Lo-Fi tracks, which will soon be broadcast on famous live streams on Youtube and will take their place in famous Spotify playlists.

The warm, lived-in tones of retro gear will give your mixes a nostalgic and emotional mood.

To get these satisfying textures right you’ll need a dedicated lo-fi VST. But there’s more lo-fi simulators out there than ever before.

That’s why I’m rounding up the 10 best lo-fi plugins for creating study-and-chill worthy tracks.

Let’s get started.

1. Goodhertz Vulf

Goodhertz Vulf is a unique compressor plugin that’s capable of some serious lo-fi goodness.

Vulf is a collaboration with Jack Stratton of the band Vulfpeck and models the famous “Vinyl Sim” algorithm from the vintage Boss SP303 sampler.

This oddball compression effect caught the attention of beatmakers like Madlib and J Dilla and inspired a generation of lo-fi beats.

Vulf offers a much more flexible take on the 303 Vinyl Sim that can go from smooth and stylish to squashed and scraggly.

2. XLN Audio RC-20 Retro Color

XLN Audio’s RC-20 Retro Color is everywhere these days, and it’s easy to see why.

This top lo-fi plugin is a six module suite of sonic degradation tools that can take any sound back in time.

Add noise, pitch modulation, overdrive, bit reduction, ambience, and tape artifacts all in the same plugin and control the intensity globally with the magnitude slider.

3. Izotope Vinyl

Izotope Vinyl was one of the first lo-fi plugins around—and it’s completely free.

Vinyl recreates all the charm of an old school LP. That means mechanical and electrical noise, dust, scratches and all kinds of wear and tear.

It even has a decade switch that can transport your tracks back to the sound of the earliest commercial recording mediums.

The best part is that you can use Vinyl in your sessions without paying a cent.

4. Waves Reel ADT

Waves Reel ADT wasn’t built specifically for lo-fi, but it’s a great tool for old school tape textures with that sweet compression and warble.

ADT stands for “automatic double tracking.” It’s a technique developed in the 60s to reproduce the sound of an artist singing over their own performance to thicken the sound.

The legend goes that the Abbey Road engineers had to come up with it because John Lennon didn’t like the tedious process of overdubbing vocals.

Reel ADT nails the Abbey Road ADT sound, but it’s also a lo-fi secret weapon. ADT is essentially a tape chorus effect.

Its subtle modulation can create impressive wow and flutter and its tape grit is pleasing and warm.

5. Klevgr DAW Cassette

Klevgr DAW Cassette is a simple plugin for bringing the magic of cassette tapes back to your DAW.

If you’re feeling nostalgic for that rounded frequency response and characterful noise that only cassettes can offer, this plugin is for you.

DAW Cassette is super simple to use with straightforward controls for the quality of the head, tape and motor of the virtual tape deck.

You can also choose the tape stock type to hear the difference between chrome, metal and plastic tapes.

6. D16 Decimort 2

D16 Decimort 2 is a highly advanced bit crusher. It specializes in degrading sounds by reducing their digital information in ways that make a sound pop.

A lot of the character of early hip-hop and electronic music came from the retro samplers artists used to make their tracks.

A lot of the character of early hip-hop and electronic music came from the retro samplers artists used to make their tracks.

These old school tools had limited storage and resolution but imparted their own special sound.

Decimort 2 lets you reach back and access those same digital artifacts in a controlled fashion.

With controls for quantization depth, dithering and resampling frequency you can emulate just about any vintage AD/DA ever with Decimort 2.

7. Baby Audio Super VHS

Sometimes lo-fi doesn’t have to be complicated.

Baby Audio Super VHS keeps it simple with direct access to the parameters that matter most for that retro classic coloration.

The three macro controls give you warble, ambience and distortion on a dial and the smaller sliders around the edge let you tweak the finer points.

Like some of the other plugins on this list, Super VHS is designed to emulate a specific medium. In this case it’s the good old fashioned sound of VCR tapes.

The audio track on a VHS definitely had a lo-fi flavor that’s great to rediscover in 2020…right?

8. AudioThing Vinyl Strip

AudioThing Vinyl Strip is another multi-module lo-fi solution in a single plugin.

Each stage lets you add another layer of processing to your lo-fi texture.

Aggressive compression, harmonic saturation, vinyl effects and downsampling let you get specific with your sonic destruction.

Each of these effects has a unique character and can be toggled in and out of the signal chain.

9. u-he Satin

u-he Satin is another plugin that comes at old school analog textures via tape.

After all, the most desirable lo-fi qualities come from some form of magnetic tape recording or reproduction.

Satin lets you dive right into the tape characteristics themselves to simulate all kinds of magnetic tape behaviour.

Mess with the bias, wow and flutter, cross-talk, asperity and even arcane parameters like the azimuth and gap width of the repro head—wild!

10. Goodhertz Wow Control

Goodhertz Wow Control is a plugin that takes wow and flutter seriously.

As you’ve seen in many of the other plugins on this list, pitch modulation is a key component of the lo-fi sound.

It originally came from the subtle speeding up and slowing down of analog tape moving through a tape machine.

These fluctuations in the speed of the tape translate into pitch changes in the audio.

But the specific character of tape wow and flutter is tough to emulate. A tape machine is built like a Swiss watch with tons of moving parts.

The way they all interact to create that unpredictable modulation is what makes wow and flutter so magical.

Goodhertz Wow Control is a highly advanced take on the phenomenon of wow and flutter that lets you dial in every detail.

Low fidelity

Lo-fi is here to stay.

This woozy, nostalgic production flavor is super satisfying in lots of genres.

Getting the right lo-fi texture in your DAW has never been easier.

Try any of these lo-fi plugins for a retro classic vibe in your next track.

misc.inc shows you 5 of his most essential plugins for lofi hip hop, ranging from synthesizers to bitcrushers.

1. Decimort 2

One of my favourite plugins for bit reduction. In lofi hip hop especially, it’s all about finding the right place between old and new.

Decimort 2 offers a great spectrum of options for high quality bitcrushing. Equipped with a filter, resampling engine and a quantizer, you have full freedom to shape your sound.

From light and crispy, to totally destroyed – this plugin offers the best of both worlds.

You can get the Decimort 2 here.

2. Luftikuss EQ

Great for vocals, great for drums – great for everything. This digital adaption of a hardware 5 band EQ sounds just awesome. More an adaptive than a surgical EQ, it adds the last crips you need on your mix. With the ‘Keep Gain’ control, you can avoid overall gain changes when boosting or cutting with this EQ, which helps judge your decisions better.

But the very best part is – IT’S FREE.

Go check it out. You won’t regret it.

3. Lounge Lizard

My go-to plugin for Rhodes, Wurlitzer and more.

Lounge Lizard by Applied Acoustics Systems is a powerhorse. This digital adaption of an electric piano lets you shape the sounds to the max. Adjusting the hammer, tremolo, the pickup or the damper is fun. You can also start with one of the awesome presets ranging from rhodes, organs, wurlitzer and more experimental sounds.

You’ll never want to use a different rhodes plugin.

Get it here.

4. Echoboy

The ONE delay I have on almost all my tracks. Seemingly simple at first sight, the Echoboy by Soundstoys offers a great variety of options for tweaking the sound and feel of your delay.

Beside the normal mix, delay, feedback and time parameters you can go crazy with shuffled delay times, different emulations of hardware delays (like the famous Space Echo) and many more cool parameters.

Over 100 presets, offering great settings from ambient delays to analogue chorus.

Definitely my favourite delay.

5. J37

Last is the J37 Tape Plugin by Waves.

Tapesaturation and warmth is what you want in your crispy lofi hip hop mix.

The big hardware brother was used in many masterpieces. Now this digital version is there for yours.

3 different tapes, 2 temp setting and full adjustable wow and flutter effects speak for itself. Furthermore, the delay settings come in 3 different options (ping pong, slap, feedback).

If you’ve always asked yourself why so many lofi hip hop tunes sound like they do – this is the answer.

Grab it here. It’s worth it.
