Rigid Audio Hibernate Review!

Before I get to the review – Rigid Audio have announced that they are closing on Jan 1st 2025. It seems that they are not in any financial difficulties but that after 10 years the guys are moving on to pastures new. It just seems to be a sign of the times…
Therefore I urge you to go along and grab some plugins/kontakt libraries for free or a low price whilst you can. I have looked at some Rigid-Audio products and they are pretty awesome – seems a shame they aren’t continuing!

Hibernate is a plugin designed for ethereal soundcapes, something it does really well. Available as an AU, VST and VST3 plugin it comes with 128 soundscapes with moving and evolving textures. With 4 FX a drive, chorus, delay and reverb you can tweak away as well and some other simple controls it isn’t a do all plugin at all, but I kinda like it. 128 soundcapes are all great, check out the video below for what it sounds like and also there is a link there to get hibernate for the next 17 days for nothing, Yes a free soundscape source. I recommend grabbing it whilst you can

There really isn’t a great lot to say about Hibernate, for free it is a great ambient powerhouse and it just kinda works… my kind of plugin for free!

128 soundscapes which move and evolve. Simple plugin, does exactly what it says it will…

Grab it whilst you can!

Stability
9 out of 10
No crashes for me or slowdowns. Does what it says it will… decent cpu usage as well
Ease of Use
10 out of 10
Pick a soundscape and tweak n play! Simples
Look & Feel
9 out of 10
Looks OK, not much in the way it looks. Map the controls makes it far much more fun though…
Price
9 out of 10
It would be a 10 if it was free for ever, but I give a link to grab for the next 17 days or so. On the Rigid Audio website it comes in at £25.37 which is incredible value as it includes everything they do! Grab it whilst you can!

Pros

Easy to use

Good price

Nice evolving and ethereal textures

Cons

Not the most presets but 128 great ones

It is a simple plugin – but does a great job nonetheless

Perhaps more presets would add value
