Beautiful grit

This thing is straight dope. Since I started making music with software, saturation plugins have been crucial to emulate the sounds I was used to with hardware. This does the job and more. Definitely and inspiring sound design tool. Instant weight and grit.

Thank you to MSXII for putting out this indispensable app for any producer looking to add a layer of grit and dirt that most distortion effects just don’t do. I find myself using it on just about every production. The added presets have been wonderful (Goose Down in particular) I’ll be bumping the MSXII creations through AUM and KOALA from here on out.

Amazing! Must have app for IOS production

This app brings such an incredible sound to your music. Different presets add different textures, which makes Lo-Fly Dirt such a versatile app. Well worth it, highly recommended!

Great app. Saved some of my mixes when nothing else would do. Great support too. iOS GB bugs usually addressed with updates.
