01Overview

LANDR FX Beats is a drum processing plugin built around presets rather than manual signal chains. Each preset is designed for a specific use, from kit-level styling to individual kicks, snares and cymbals. Users select a preset, adjust the intensity with a single dial, and can tweak input and output levels for more control. The plugin is part of LANDR's FX line, which is preset-based across its range. It is available in VST3, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS.

03In depth

Presets for Kicks, Snares, Cymbals and Full Drum Kits

LANDR FX Beats includes 46 presets split into six categories: Kits, Kick, Snare, Cymbals, EQ and FX. The Kits category offers kit-focused presets organized by genre and style. The Kick category includes presets for EDM, punchy kicks and 808 growls. The Snare category covers reverb, splash and related treatments. Cymbals presets are aimed at tightening or brightening the top end, and the EQ category lets you work on lows, mids and highs individually.

The FX category covers reverb, echo, space and crunch. Developer LANDR describes the effects as genre-defining, including wide, spacey 80s-style drums and tight trap claps and kicks.

Workflow for Mixing, Songwriting and Tracking

LANDR says the presets are designed around common applications so producers can spend less time tweaking. The plugin can be used at several stages of production. For mixing, the presets are described as tools for color, character and correction. For songwriting, LANDR positions them as a source of inspiration and experimentation. The plugin can also process inputs in real time while tracking or monitoring.

Several instances can be stacked to combine effects. Each preset is intended to hold up when used in unconventional ways, according to LANDR.
