Hi! I've got a new plugin you can have! These plugins come in Mac AU, and Mac, Windows and Linux VST. They are state of the art sound, have no DRM, and have totally minimal generic interface so you focus on your sounds.

FarSpace3

FarSpace3Demo is a precursor to Space, and the last in a series of reverb experiments that started from the very basics (a cluster of simple delays, the freebie Verbs). It has two separate ways to manage verb size, the Room Size and the Liveness controls.

Brightness is NOT an overall EQ on the reverb’s output, like normal digital EQs: it’s inside the reverb’s delays, making the sustain of the verb go darker as it decays.

On the other hand, FarSpace has no EQs built into it, so in practice it’s brighter than the best reverbs, not darker. It’s in the sonic style of verbs like SilverVerb, but classier and somewhat more depthy. The real depthyness can be had in the Airwindows reverb Space, which FarSpace users got crossgraded to for free. If FarSpace ever evolves in the direction of a bright-ambiences verb, it will be as a separate product largely coded from scratch (though you can get an idea of that through using FarSpace).

If you want to get FarSpace3, buy a copy of Space and ask for FarSpace3 in email. I’ll send it. Note that it contains AllSpace, so if you want that too you should ask for FarSpace3.

AllSpace

AllSpaceDemo is like a precursor to PocketVerbs, only not :)

Specifically, this is the reverb designed to run dual-mono and give the ultimate, hugest, lushest depth. It’s also the reverb that put the hurt on processors back in the day, and broke Digital Performer while it was at it. Still don’t know what went wrong there, unless it’s just the scope of the plugin.

Dual-mono means it won’t make a single reverb field, it’ll place reverb trails behind elements in a stereo mix. You can also put it on mono tracks and it’ll load up only one channel of processing.

AllSpace is a mid-period Airwindows reverb, trying to do everything through the actual delay tanks themselves. It’s got the separate room size and liveness controls, treble and bass controls that are inside the reverb rather than after it, and a control called Smoke. What this does is, fuzz up higher frequencies passing through the reverb, diffracting them into noise. The technique is still at work in Airwindows reverbs like Space, but originated here (plus, I think you can exaggerate it with Allspace).

If you’d like Allspace, test out the demo first to see if it breaks your machine. Then, if it works, buy the most recent Space reverb and ask me for FarSpace3 in email. I’ll send that to you, and it includes a copy of AllSpace. Then you’ll have three Airwindows reverbs for the price of one, and that should cover most anything you’d want to do with reverb.

64 Bit Audio Units

By December 19th (in time for Christmas!) of 2011, I’d rebuilt all of my plugins for 64 Bit.

Technically, what that means is I’d revised my compiling techniques, updated XCode very cautiously (I don’t trust updates not to break legacy stuff that MUST remain working), tested everything out and set up a new build structure that made plugins not just dual binary, but triple binary.

Everything from Airwindows gets compiled as 64 Bit Intel, and 32 Bit Intel, and also 32 Bit PPC.

Everything I could recompile, I did recompile, including all the legacy stuff like the plugins downloadable from here dated 2007. If it’s there, it’s 64 Bit and futureproof, while also being past-friendly in the form of PPC. (no 68k, sorry!)

PowerPC Macs are very capable, and deserve industry support. If we aren’t prepared to put tools in peoples’ hands then what good are we? I’m not in the business of selling the latest Powerbooks (in fact I’d like to upgrade myself, but not if it means squeezing my own customers). Recording tools can and should be widely available at all price points. Using Airwindows plugins, you can take very old copies of Logic on old PowerPC Macs (or Reaper, for that matter, or various other programs) and still get totally up-to-date sounds out of it.

Everybody who’d ever ordered anything from Airwindows got an update for free in email, no matter how old their plugin was.

Please support Airwindows by buying new stuff. :)

Desk2

Desk2Demo is the earliest incarnation of Desk I’ve got available. It has the same controls as Desk3, namely Overdrive, Hi Choke, Power Sag, Frequency for the power sag, and Output Trim.

I would think you’d want some other version but if this is the one you want, buy Desk and ask me for this in email, and I’ll send it.
