An open question to the LM community — does anyone have any Joey Sturgis plugins, and if so, what is your take on them? Are they quality? Are they versatile or are they really mainly targeted at people producing metal?

Never knew about Joey Sturgis, clicked because I’ve misread the title as “We Love Volcas”, and I’m like “What’s Korg up to again” Well, he produced an album for Mice & Men and made a plugin with Misha Mansoor from Periphery, that means something to me (Though that plugin is not available anymore, and people say it was pretty bad). Basically he was metalcore’s Timbaland, working with everyone in 00s, then stepped back. Thanks Peter, now I know Joey Sturgis. Am I interested? Nah, too niche, all metal covered by Neural DSP for me.

Ok, now I know Joey Sturgis Tones as well. From Reasontalk:

I have Pixelator too. A pretty straightforward bitcrusher plugin, but it does what it’s supposed to do well. Developed by Boz Millar of Boz Digital Labs. I don’t know if he also developed Soar. This tape delay looks nice and what I’ve heard so far on YouTube sounds nice as well. No demo, no refund if you don’t like it after trying yourself, but it’s only 8 euro, so there’s little risk.

From official site:

Q: I want to try out a plugin, where are the demos?
A: We do not offer demos for our products. Check out the product page to learn more about the product before purchasing.

Yep, all flags are red, hard pass for me.

The name Joey Sturgis brings back memories of the most honest influencer that I’ve ever known (and no, not perfectly honest, but incredibly more honest than any influencer I’ve ever known), Cory Pellizari. It was his review of a Joey Sturgis drum library I was researching and his follow up comments that led to my respecting him and us becoming friends. I’ll probably do a blog post about it at some point. I really cared about and do miss Cory.

But he did what other influencers would never do, he told his true, unedited opinions of the product he reviewed and his experience with the developer. Cory told me about a few developers he felt similarly about — including Impact SoundWorks and Fluffy Audio, after I shared my takes on the two developers with him. But he did say that he was hesitant to do this again due to the fallout and other developers being afraid to work with him.

From his YouTube page with the review:

“UPDATE – Joey Sturgis Drums simply does not care about their product or its customer base. Despite customer feedback, they’ve maintained silence and refuse to optimise the patches, so it looks like my custom patches are the closest you’ll get to a smooth working experience with Miles McPherson Drums. sigh Developers really need to keep their egos in check.”
