DReverb is a free plugin for creating high quality algorithmic reverbs. A feature of this plugin, like other reverbs from Stone Voices , is a wide range of reverb times (up to 100 seconds), as well as low CPU consumption. The design of the plug-in is made using vector graphics, which allows you to get high quality images on monitors with different resolutions.
Higher Hz has released a free creative effect plugin that emulates some of the feel and character of analog (BBD) and early digital delay units.
Designed to add depth and sparkle to the sounds in your mix, HZ Delay features tape echo and multi-tap echo, saturation, chorus (simple and BBD), and reverb with early reflections.
This is not a clone of any unit at all so has been built as a new & unique architecture to help bring something different to users’ mixes.
This different approach is evident right away because many typical features are deliberately missing or delivered in a unique way. One of those is that even the “dry” signal is Saturated/Distorted so that when the wet & dry signals are combined, the result is a lot richer than usual. Everything about this unit was designed for character.
Sonic options run through Chorus, Reverb/Early Reflections, Tape Echo, Multi-Tap Echo, and Saturation. Part of the character of HZ Delay comes as you tend to be using some or all of these outcomes all at once.
HZ Delay features:
Saturation/Drive on input & output.
3 x Delay/Echo Sections (5 total).
Hi & Lo Pass Filters.
Global Feedback + X-Feedback.
Modulation for every echo point.
Stereo Width.
Mixing options.
8 presets to get your started.
HZ Delay is available to download in VST/VST3 and AU plugin formats at no charge.
Vastaus lives on instrument channels, buses and it is known to have been spotted on the master channel too. Feel free to use and abuse it. Try to add an EQ before Vastaus and push the highs way overboard and how Vastaus reacts.
It is at it's most neutral at Input Gain and Tame at 0, at which time it brings down and blocks overly harsh high frequencies present in vocal esses, smooths cymbals, guitars and pretty much anything you throw at it.
Increasing Tame brings enhances that effect, but also brings in more options with the React switch, as well as with the Bias setting. React is a mode, where Tame starts to let through some transients in a really interesting way, bringing out more detail and clarity, but still smoothing the sound. With Bias, you can further control the sound by limiting the effect to either the positive or negative side of the audio samples, generating harmonics in the process. I have heard this referred to as silky, and apparently some well-known hardware unit makers use a process similar to this.
Lastly there is Gain. With the Input Gain, you control the overall signal boost you get going into the thing, while the Output Gain works as a pad, with 100% level adding no additional volume. Boosting the input gain can bring additional high end to the signal after taming it, which is especially useful with instruments such as the electric guitar. In conjunction with the use of the Bias knob, Vastaus can even act as a leveling tool, which also boosts and extends the high end frequencies far above where they ended in the original signal.
Use the Wet knob to blend the changed signal with the original in whatever way you want.
