Multiple Grammy Award-winning writer/artist/produce/mixer Simon Climie says: "I've always been moved by great music but equally fascinated by technology.

"Some of my very talented co-writers have shown FabFilter plug-ins, in all genres of music... but most recently I mixed in 5.1 surround for all formats Eric Clapton's from the Royal Albert Hall. Over the years I've worked with so many talented engineers and producers and we all respect each others opinion. On this project we were fortunate to have 'King of Mastering' Bob Ludwig. We don't give away trade secrets... but Bob spoke very highly of the FabFilter plug-ins, too ... So I checked them out and also the great online video's... and I love them!"
