CamelCrusher is a versatile ‘colouring’ multi-effect that borrows some features from its big brother CamelPhat. It offers two different distortion algorithms which can be blended together to create a wide variety of tones and textures. There’s also a warm, smooth analogue-style low-pass filter, with buckets of resonance, and an easy-to-use compressor.
sforzando is a free, highly SFZ 2.0 compliant sample player. Advanced sample hobbyists now have a powerful tool to experiment and share instruments without relying on proprietary formats. sforzando has only one instrument slot; no fancy UI, effects or mixers. Every tweak has to be done at the SFZ file level, no cheating! sforzando is also a name given for a sudden change in music dynamics which, in musical notation, is represented by the “sfz” symbol. Free As In Free Me From Proprietary Formats The SFZ Format is widely accepted as the open standard to define the behavior of a musical instrument from a bare set of sound recordings. Being a royalty-free format, any developer can create, use and distribute SFZ files and players for either free or commercial purposes. So when looking for flexibility and portability, SFZ is the obvious choice. That’s why it’s the default instrument file format used in the ARIA Engine.
Euphonia: Usually the final mix of a music production does not translate well with all audio devices (e.g. HiFi, car audio, smartphone) at the beginning. To achieve this in an effective manner is not easy to master! Gainrider is a (vocal-) gain riding tool which gives fully control over the gain riding process. Gainrider let you control all aspects of the gain riding process, for the perfect ride! Impress is a wideband stereo compressor including side-chaining, various prefilter options and state-of-the-art over sampling. Impress is a wideband stereo compressor including side-chaining,
various prefilter options and state-of-the-art over sampling. LA xLimit is an advanced look ahead, wideband linked-stereo limiter including ISP (inter sample peak) detection and oversampling. The goal of the design was to cover a broad range of limiting applications in today’s mixing and mastering situations with strong focus on low aliasing.
The core of frei:raum is a fully interactive equalizer with state of the art mastering quality. Each band can either be used in classical mode for manual EQing, or in the unique “smart” mode, offering automatic detection and removal of problematic resonances in different frequency bands.
The PSEQ-1 Vacuum Tube Passive EQ faithfully replicates the sweet and warm “undoctored” tonality of passive EQ circuits. Even with large boosts at narrow-Q settings, the PSEQ-1 Vacuum Tube Passive EQ avoids the harshness that often plagues conventional active EQ topologies. The perfect EQ for individual channels or two- channel final mix busses.
VBE-1 is vacuum tube analog bass enhancer. If basic equalization does not bring enough of low end massive fatness and warmth to your mix, it is time to test new Pentode VBE-1 that will add real vacuum tube warmth, saturation and drive to your baselines and kick drums.
VTC-1 is special analog modeled virtual VST compressor with warm analog, fat pumping and transparent sound. Compared to modern compressors VTC-1 has different inner structure and principle of work: VTC-1 don’t have threshold knob, so you set amount of compression by increasing or decreasing input level same like with old analog tube compressors. Compression amount knob is similar to ratio knob at modern compressors. You can select two curves of compression with switch: significant compression or smooth curve. If you prefer fat/massive sound you can boost input signal of vacuum tubes by turning tube drive knob. If you want some real sounding analog color to your digital records and characteristic yet transparent compression feel free to try demo version of VTC-1.
