“I get to bring any studio plugin I want on the road! transform.engine is the only choice for redundancy and reliability – it’ll deliver every night, I bought two if them!”

FOH Engineer, Passenger

“I’ve really enjoyed having the extra tolls available and am looking forward to bringing the fourier engine further into my workflow on future projects.”

Monitor Engineer, Oasis – Noel Gallagher

“It’s great to tour the world with the plug-in flexibility that transform.engine gives me. I can say yes to artist requests for a certain plug-in or sound, fourier audio has helped me shape their iconic sounds all year – flawlessly.”

FOH Engineer, Linkin Park

“Fourier transform.engine has all my favourite plugins, no need for outboard anymore, it’s all there!”

FOH Engineer, Busted vs McFly, Richard Ashcroft and KYGO.

“The ability to expand the plugin palette on a rock-solid platform will make the transform.engine an indispensable piece of kit. I was a very early beta tester, but it imbued such confidence that it was immediately put to work on the Will of the People tour!”

FOH Engineer, Muse

“It’s been a pleasure working with Fourier Audio over the past few months beta testing the Transform Engine. The ability to run any plugin, beyond Waves, is exciting to say the least and also being able to integrate it into our DiGiCo workflow is a game changer, it gives us the ability to take any studio tool out on the road.”

Head of Sound, Coldplay

“Finally, someone has made a product that the industry has long been waiting for… I was able to run my plug-ins non-stop for an entire month with no issues, no audio dropouts, and next to zero latency, flipping the bypass in and out on my Quantum338 without hearing any timing slip. It’s clear that the box is stable, and I’ve already bought one for myself.”

FOH Engineer, Fred Again
