“plugins,” refer to software components that add specific features or functions to a larger software application. In audio production and digital music creation, plug-ins are commonly used within Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) to process, manipulate, or generate audio signals. They include effects processors (EQ, reverb, delay), virtual instruments (synthesizers, samplers), and utility tools (metering, analysis). Plug-ins extend the capabilities of DAWs, allowing producers, engineers, and musicians to customize their workflows and achieve desired audio results efficiently.
