MAIM is a unique plugin that captures the sound of MP3 compression. Unlike other plugins, MAIM incorporates real MP3 encoders, allowing users to explore a wide range of digital distortions. The encoders have been modified with circuit bending techniques, offering precise control over spectral distortions and glitches. MAIM is compatible with various DAWs and operating systems, and it is completely free and open-source. Users can even contribute to its development through the GitHub page. The plugin features two MP3 encoders, each adding its own distinct tone to the tracks. MAIM’s effects range from subtle muffled sounds to intense feedback and buzzy distortions.
