2025 VST PLUGINS — UI REVIEW | What Makes Great Plugin Design?

We dive into this winter’s standout VST plugin releases to analyze what makes a UI actually good — beyond just surface-level aesthetics.
What you’ll learn:
How to distinguish beautiful vs. usable UI
Why some “minimal” plugins feel cheap — and others feel premium
The hidden risks of visual consistency across free/paid products
Skeuomorphic UI myths, contrast traps, and branding power
What happens when UI tells a story — or when it doesn’t
Which plugins this winter nailed the design — and which missed the mark

Featuring: SonicLAB Oceanic, Schwabe Orange Clip 3, PSP Wobbler, M-De-Esser 2, PolarDesigner3, Bloom Synth, Funk Fusion EBX, Morphestra Ultra, and more.
