I need a warm tape echo for a vocal throw at the end of the chorus. Which of my plugins should I reach for?
Whisperer
Start with 
EchoBoy on its Studio Tape style, a dotted eighth, feedback near 35%. Pull the high cut down to about 4 kHz so the repeats sit behind the vocal.
Want it dirtier? Put 
Abbey Road J37 Tape after it and push the input.
I want a dreamy, wobbly chorus on an indie guitar, without it sounding too 80s. What have I got for that?
Whisperer
That sound is mostly pitch wobble with the dry signal turned off. Try 
Wow Control fully wet, then 
TAL-Chorus-LX underneath, mode I only, for a little width.
Keep it narrow. A dreamy guitar like this usually sits almost in mono.
My snare loses its crack once the guitars come in. What have I got that adds bite without making it harsh?
Whisperer
Put 
Transient Designer Plus first and bring the attack up a few dB, sustain down a touch. Then 
Saturn 2 on Warm Tube, mix around 30%, for weight that cuts.
If it still hides, make room in the guitars around 2 to 4 kHz.
The vocal sounds dull next to the synths. Which of my plugins adds air without the S’s jumping out?
Whisperer
Try 
Fresh Air with the high air about a third of the way up and the mid air left alone. Then 
Pro-DS after it, so the new top end doesn’t turn every S into hiss.
Set it by ear with the whole mix playing. A little goes a long way.
*plugins not included
A list can only take you so far.
A virtual analog synth that models the circuits of classic polysynths component by component. Warm, unstable and heavy on the processor.

I’m Sean Myer, a multi-platinum producer and songwriter from the US. I’m blessed to have been part of artists’ careers from very early on in their journeys, helping create songs that have been streamed over 6.5 billion times. If you’re into pop, a few you may have heard are “Past Life” by Trevor Daniel ft. Selena Gomez, “Sweet But Psycho” and “EveryTime I Cry” by Ava Max, and “Pretty Girl” by Maggie Lindemann. I’m also the co-creator of VRFD.ai, the first entirely botless, human-only platform built for creators (and their moms). Our motto is “Be Human”.
I came up with the idea for the Plugin Whisperer after I bought the UJAM Everything Bundle and the names were way too complicated to remember (no shade, I love them) 😂.
Then I thought, “What if I built a tool to help me find the sounds I’m looking for, just by asking questions”?
I realized that by chatting directly with my library, I could get the most out of the plugins I already have, and even rediscover old ones I completely forgot about. (This is not a call to stop buying plugins, btw. Plugins are love, plugins are life.)
Since I started building the Plugin Whisperer, I can’t live without it. It’s changed the way I make music. I can learn how to create almost any sound I’m hearing within seconds, rather than spending precious studio time with an artist doomscrolling presets. Everyone appreciates that.
As you know, prompt-based music making is hollow and fleeting. Learning, however, is creatively rewarding and lasts forever. As a first principle, I wanted to make something that teaches us, not dumbs down or replaces us. The Plugin Whisperer can show you step by step how to get a sound you’re going for, but it will never ever everrrr open the DAW and do it for you. That’s your job. It always has been, and always should be.
After many long months of building, testing, building, and testing some more, I’m excited to finally share this with you. I hope you enjoy the Plugin Whisperer as much as I have!
If you’d like to get in touch with me about music production, songwriting, or music industry related questions, write to me. I’d love to hear from you.
If you’d like to go deeper and you need a real human to help you on your journey, I love to teach, and I love to help new artists, songwriters, and producers. It’s been the joy of my life fostering the creatives around me and helping them win, and I hope I can do the same for you!
God bless, and stay human!
Sean “Myer” Meier
Sessions, the template and everything on seanmyer.com are mine, separate from Plugin Whisperer and its Terms.
Founding prices are for the first 1,000 founding members, and your founding price stays as long as you keep your subscription. You are one if you start a plan while those spots are open, on either plan, monthly or yearly.
The rest of the founding terms are on the pricing page.
Yes. A 14-day free trial of your whole library from the minute you pick a plan: the scan, your gallery, the artwork, the tags, the search, the review pass and syncing across every computer you work on. The card goes on file when you start and nothing is charged until day 15. The trial includes the library, but not the chat: the chat comes with a paid plan, never before. Canceling is one click in Settings, and your library stays yours to download or delete whenever you like.
It only ever reads. Nothing is moved, renamed, deleted or loaded, not your plugins, not your DAW's settings.
The scan happens inside your browser, and a browser cannot run a plugin at all. Your folder is opened for reading, which is the only way this app ever asks for it. Your own backups are still yours to keep.
It is one place to see the plugins already installed on your computer. It reads your plugin folders, lays out what you own as a gallery you can search, tag and organize, keeps that the same on every computer you work on, and, on a paid plan, lets you ask the Whisperer, which only ever talks about plugins you actually own. It never loads, runs or changes a plugin.
Yes, and that is the whole point. The Whisperer answers from your own library. If you ask what to buy, it can name something you do not own, and it never shows that as one of yours.
Sometimes, but not often, and never silently: every answer shows the plugins it used and why, so you can check it in seconds. Always use your ears. Answers come from an AI and are not professional advice.
The Whisperer is built never to invent a plugin, a maker or a feature you do not have, and to say “I don’t have that” rather than guess. That is what we build for, not a guarantee.
Each plan has its own number, printed with the plans above. They are all yours from the first day of the period, whichever plan you are on.
Questions you do not use in one period roll over into the next period only, and then expire, so you can never hold more than two periods' worth. They are shown as questions, never as money.
Each answer the Whisperer gives you takes one question from your allowance, never more, however long or complex the question is. An answer that fails before any words reach you takes none.
Cancel any time from Settings ("Manage billing"), which opens the payment provider's portal, or on link.com. You keep access to the end of the period you paid for.
Switching between monthly and annual is not available yet. Until it is, write to support@pluginwhisperer.com.
Yes. Send the current picture, description, tags or version notes to support@pluginwhisperer.com and we'll update the card. A person reviews every change before it's published.
The full app for Mac, or a small helper for Windows that connects your PC to the web app. Both come with your free trial.
We’re improving the platform every day, and you’ll be early on it. Our hope is that we can build a community here and shape this together.
