Shelves is another strange little Airwindows EQ. This one’s a simple two-band shelf… that’s all Airwindows-ized in subtle ways. The crossover’s altered in the way that Highpass and Lowpass are. As near as I can work out, what’s happening is that if you boost Treble, it gets harder. If you cut it, it gets softer. If […]
Tremolo is from way back. It works in a rather special way. Rather than simply modulate loudness, Tremolo modulates spatial depth. That’s done through exploiting the qualities the ‘Density’ algorithm has for pushing stuff back in space (and making it thin and wiry) or bringing it forward (and making it fat and distorted). Tremolo puts that […]
ResEQDemo is a universal binary AU plugin that gives you up to eight parallel resonant filters. It uses convolution modeling of an idealised analog-style peak impulse for extremely rich textures, and can do ‘parked wah’ effects of great sophistication. The thing is, ResEQ builds a really complicated sort of ‘parked wah’ across a lot of frequencies, […]
GatelopeDemo triggers a gate which sweeps two very transparent and natural filters across each other to cut off the sound. Can cut mostly treble for toms, or tighten bass on kicks and snares. Startlingly useful! This plugin was inspired by Ola Sonmark, who continues to enjoy it many years later. It’s like an audiophile version of […]
