Plugin Alliance Maor Appelbaum Mastering & Hendyamps THE OVEN 1.2.0 macOS [HCiSO] screenshot
TEAM HCiSO | 04 June 2025 | 89.29 MB
THE OVEN is not a typical EQ or saturator. It’s a colorful “Mojo Box” designed to "Cook, Bake & Broil" any sound source, whether an individual track, stem, group, mixbuss or mastering chain. From subtle hi-fi enhancement to aggressive drive, it will add warmth, size, depth, color and sizzle to your tracks.

The color of tubes and solid state combined
Designed by world renowned mastering engineer Maor Appelbaum and acclaimed analog hardware designer Chris Henderson, THE OVEN is an “out of the box” take on tonal coloration that is quickly making fans out of producers, engineers, mixers, mastering engineers and composers alike. Bringing together the best of classic meets modern tube and solid state designs, it features a unique set of controls for intuitive, creative and FUN tone tweaking.

One-of-a-kind operation that’s easier than scrambling an egg
The controls on THE OVEN may seem unusual at first—but that’s a feature, not a bug. They are designed to help you turn off your technical mind and start making bold and creative choices immediately. Use the COOK control to add thick bloom, pentode tube drive, and the three BURNERS to layer in multiband saturation and tonal shaping options. Turn up the TEMP to push them harder for added color and mojo, or switch from BAKE to BROIL and ELEC to GAS to change the voicing and response of the tube circuit. Adjust controls like BURN TYPE, BUNSEN and SIZZLE to quickly dial in freshly baked new sounds. To get memorable and useful tone, you don’t even have to know what these controls are supposed to do! Just let your taste and imagination guide you, and you’ll love what you hear.

Further enhanced with digital-only features from Brainworx
This adventuresome plugin has additional features that are not in the original hardware thanks to the retractable Extra Unit from Brainworx, which adds in the Mono Maker, Stereo Width control, TMT and more.

After installing (internet OFF first), then you agree on Data Tracking (Pops up when plugin opened).
Then you open Help Menu in the plugin and uncheck Data Tracking.
Internet ON and there will be no home call or data tracking.

Thanks to HCiSO I've had the chance to truly try PA stuff and now I pay 15€ a month for everything I like.
For me there is no turning back PA is incredible, not everything of course. No company is but to many are becoming my go toos to not pay and no worries about error.

Thank you again to everyone involved in this releases, it help a lot to make a decision.

the only thing I don't like about PA - they are not cross-platform. I want to create a user preset in Logic and open it in Cubase. I can't do it with PA.

Cubase doesn't use au's correct? (I don't use it, so can't say with all certainty)

And Logic doesn't use VST3 I know for sure.

(sure, end arounds in different host products etc)

So that would be the case for most presets created in logic and saved and brought into cubase right? Regardless of PA or whomever.... unless I am missing something... (proprietary formats etc perhaps for arturia or whatnot etc)....

tbh, I've never liked how PA utilizes presets in general, as they are inconsistent across platforms in whether or not you can even 'see' them etc if that's what you are talking about....

Correct, it should not be DAW dependent After creating a user preset( AU or VST3) I should be able to see it in any DAW (Cubase, Logic, Studio one, Bitwig) . Hope I was able to explain my point better.

Yeah, I agree, I hate it when user made presets are daw dependent or need to be saved that way etc.... that's such nonsense....

Last time I used Logic was 2013 so I don't know how it works.

I've try Studio One, Ableton and Bitwig in the past 3 years but I think I'm to deep in to Cubase to work with another DAW , All Awesome DAWs but for my workflow I'm done trying DAW.

Anyway, I thought you could save a preset within the plugin preset folder and no matter were you open the plugin later your user presets would be there, thats a shame.

Try loading the PA plugin inside DDMF Metaplugin and it'll let you load presets i believe

easy: switch from cubase to reaper and problem is solved :) silliness aside, I do consider plugin support to be too important, same reason I don't use bitwig or reason, they only support vst and neither I use logic, luna or dp (they only use AU) even if I use AU
