(AU, VST, VST3, AAX*, x86, x64)

CRTIV Tape Bus plug-in for professional music production applications recreates characteristic elements of the reel-to-reel tape sound. This includes saturation, modulation noise and smearing effects which are known for the “analog” feel they bring to audio recordings. This plug-in also applies a selected impulse response taken by us from the existing tape machines.

Skyline v1.5 WiN MAC

P2P | 13.02.2020 | 78 MB

AU, VST, VST3, x86, x64

Skyline is an easy to use multi-band image editor for mastering.

You can easily enhance or create depth in a track with the quick and easily accessible controls and you don’t have to worry that you push it too hard since whatever you do with Skyline you can’t break the mono-compatibility. Skyline consists of three main controls, Spread, Pan and Width. ‘Spread’ will either enhance the ambiance by using the information in the difference channel and spread it out in the stereo-field, or use the information from the sum-channel and spread that out in the stereo-field. The latter is great if you want to up-mix a mono-file to stereo. ‘Pan’ will pan the audio in the selected band and ‘Width’ will either boost the sum or the difference by 2dB without touching the other channel. Watch the video, preferable with headphones to get an idea of this little gem.

FiDef Plugin v1.0.20 WiN

Team R2R | 2021.02.10 | 13.6 MB

FiDef employs a highly specialized, patented process to create a custom noise profile that is tightly correlated to the source audio. The noise layer is sub-audible, but FiDef makes use of a phenomena that exploits the brain’s ability to make use of sub-audible noise to enhance the interpretation of sound. The noise layer also survives the encoding process to lossy formats, ensuring mixes uploaded to popular streaming services retain the sonic characteristics of the full resolution source.

PLATFORM: WiN32/64 – VST/VST3/AAX(MODiFiED)

The digital world with its clarity and accuracy lacks some vibe from the old times. ‘Create a front door for every recording, and call it Front DAW, guys,’ said he, ‘so that every track would have a true analogue input.’ Thanks to him you can turn your DAW Mixer into a real Analogue Console.

BBCMP v1.2.0 WiN

Team R2R | Feb 28 2020 | 13 MB

PLATFORM: WiN64 – VST/VST3/AAX(MODiFiED)

A special feature of the BBCMP is that it enables the operator to split the incoming signal using the Low Pass and High Pass filters. These then allow you to apply processing (compression, limiting, expansion and gate) to each band independently. Once each band has been processed, the following signal pathway shows you how the separate bands are then summed to produce the final output. The great advantage of processing in this way is that you have full control over the extent to which the 2 bands are processed rather than only the summed signal being processed. This means that if, for example, the low end is strong and pushing the compressor to attenuate the signal when it comes into play, in a standard compressor the higher frequencies would also be compressed at these times. With the BBCMP you can separately control the low end and leave the high end relatively unprocessed, if that is what you need, or conversely deal with the high end and leave the low end with lesser processing.

FD3N USA Edition v1.1.1 WiN

Team R2R | Feb 28 2020 | 7.5 MB

PLATFORM: WiN64 – VST/VST3/AAX(MODiFiED)

FD1N and FD3N Tube EQ & Saturator plug-ins

While all three EQs / saturators look almost the same, aside from their colours, Babelson Audio says that they use different algorithms. The FD1N is nicknamed “British Edition”, while the FD3N carries the label “U.S.A. Edition”. It doesn’t appear that the EQs have been modeled after any specific British or American pieces of hardware…
