Recommend Plug-ins (panning and distortion/manglers)

[K2000]

I’m looking for an auto-pan with ‘interesting’ presets as well as basic ones. I want to pan some elements without having to set hundreds of points on the timeline (I’m a noob in Logic so if there’s an easy way to animate a pan manually with a lot of movement, I don’t know how to do it).

Also looking for sound-mangler plug ins. I already have Trash2 (pretty good) and some milder ones that seem mainly good for dirtying up guitars (but that’s it). Is there anything rad I should know about?

I’m currently on an Intel based Mac… pretty soon I’ll be updating to a M1 Mac so I’d be interested in plug ins for either system.

Soundtoys bundle is indeed pretty awesome.

Soundtoys Panman is really easy for basic panning, gets more complicated to do more complicated stuff. Cableguys' panner is really good too. Audio Damage has one that I haven't used. Can't think of any others right now off the top of my head.

Soundtoys everything else will definitely sound mangle in a very pleasing way. I'm a fan of Freakshow Industries but latency is a problem for live use. Denise, Glitchmachines, Sinevibes, Audiothing, Bleass, Sugar Bytes, UVI, Audio Damage, PsychoModulation all make sound manglers that are fun to mess with, just depends on what kind of mangling you want to do.

Awesome, thanks for the tips

So I just updated my ancient Mac for a new Mac Studio, and some of my plug-ins don’t work with the new M1 chips… including Izotope “Trash” (it works with Rosetta, which I have not installed).

ANYHOO, turns out that there’s a free distortion/mangler plug-in similar to Trash, which can run native on M1 macs called “Ruina” by Noise Engineering. Free!

I realize that I still need to work my way through this list! Thanks!
