Axell Yobag

01   THE STORY

From the booth to the code.

I'm Axell Yobag — a rap artist and producer. I write and record in English and Romanian, over boom bap, trap and lo-fi beats, mostly in a home setup like most artists today: a mic, a room that isn't a studio, and a laptop.

The tools I could find either cost a fortune, didn't run where I work, or treated a voice like any other sound. So I started building my own — a gate that knows my voice from my room, a de-esser that recognises an S instead of guessing, a compressor that holds my words together, a master that survives the streaming services.

That became the Axell Signature suite: nine plugins and the Dojo that ties them together. Every one is tested against real hardware and the references engineers trust, and every claim on this site is a measurement you can check.

02   WHAT I BELIEVE

Free, honest, measured.

• Free and open source — no subscriptions, no accounts, no licence keys. Good tools shouldn't depend on your budget.
• Windows and Linux — made where I work, built for wherever you work, in any DAW.
• Measured, not marketed — if a number is on the page, there's a test behind it.
• Made for the voice — rap vocals first, because that's what I make.
