Welcome to Roger Nichols Digital: Plug-ins that matter: Having worked with some of the world's most successful artists over nearly four decades in the record business, and picking up seven Grammy Awards in the process, Roger Nichols knows of what he speaks. Roger Nichols Digital was formed in 2005 to make his proven hands-on experience available to all DAW users in the form plug-ins.
Roger Nichols has been designing DSP software for his personal use since 1981. These powerful devices have been used to great effect on countless albums and mastering projects with such artists as Steely Dan, Al DiMeola and Bela Fleck. "It is now time to make these plug-ins available to the ever-expanding universe of DAW-based mixing and mastering," Nichols said. "RND is fully committed to plug-in development."

From 1972 to 1987 DUY designed and manufactured music synthesizers, drum
machines, audio compressors, limiters, mixing consoles, and samplers.

first digital drum machine and one of the very first
polyphonic synthesizers (see photo).
The ALFA1024 was a hybrid synthesiser equipped
with 32 digital oscillators, 8 voices analog
processing and a 1024 notes sequencer.
The system was controlled by an on-board
Rockwell 6502 CPU with 32K of RAM. It was 1983.
IN 1986 DUY created its first recording studio.
Initially conceived for the produccion of music , it
attracted the advertising agencies and film production
companies. Advertising was a flourishing business at that

What would the intro to Pink Floyd’s 'Wish You Were Here' have sounded like without those moody string machine chords? Can anyone imagine 'Oxygene' without the swirling tones imparted by the Eminent 310 and Small Stone Phaser? Likewise, what would Lonnie Liston Smith’s 'Expansions' have sounded like without that effervescent Solina?
