As a multi-instrumentalist musician and engineer with a passion for understanding and mastering various instruments and techniques, Aly James has been making music since the 90s. In the mid 2000s, he developed an interest in electronics and music DSP, leading him to produce many ground-breaking plug-ins. In 2014, he founded Aly James Lab to share his unique software instruments with the music community
Through careful design and a musician-centric approach, these plug-ins offer accuracy, depth, and a vintage-meets-modern workflow.
