Great walkthrough of the LFO Tool custom LFO shaper plugin from Xfer Records with producer Rob Talbott.  Highlighting the advantages of using a volume shaper plugin instead of traditional side chaining techniques for shaping sounds rhythmically.

About LFO Tool

LFO Tool is an FX utility plug-in for both Macintosh OS X® and Windows®.  It empowers music producers to create tremolo, auto-pan, trance-gate, side-chain compressor simulation, and dubstep-type wobble effects with minimal effort.

LFO Tool will process incoming audio as well as generate a MIDI message stream for controlling other instruments.

This unique plug-in also allows users to sculpt custom LFO curves and shapes and comes equipped with dozens of presets to achieve desired results quickly.
Consistent with other products in Xfer Records' software line up, LFOTool is coded entirely in C++ in order to minimize the CPU load during operation.
