PurestWarm2
TL;DW: PurestWarm2 adds dual dry/wet controls for each side of the waveform.
Hi! Sorry for the slight delay: I just flew over 2000 miles and everything’s been a bit up in the air, not just me being up in the air. But I’m here! And I have a plugin, by request.
The plugin’s actually the most normal thing here. It’s PurestWarm, but better. I was asked for a version of PurestWarm with a dry/wet (which would make it even more subtle and gentle) and then I thought, why not TWO dry/wets, one for either side of the waveform? That way you could massage both the positive and negative sides of the wave (seen briefly in the video: I wiggle the cursor around to show which side’s being reined in by which slider) to taste, or both at once.
And so that’s what PurestWarm2 is (plus, ultrasonic filtering added for use at high sample rates). It’s also using a performance tweak I hit on, defining the filter coefficients when the plugin’s instantiated, rather than once every sample buffer. Not a complicated thing, but for anyone who made use of PurestWarm, this should count as a nice upgrade. And it’s a direct request: since I was asked for PurestWarm but with a dry/wet, how could I not?
The video I’ve made will look SUPER different. This is me in British Columbia, way the heck up in Canada away from everything. Even getting decent internet’s been tricky. But it’s also me trying out new things, and learning to make proper videos and not just grab the output of OBS and call it a day. There’ll be more… one of the things I did before putting all my home stuff in storage, was capture a bunch of great vinyl records with an eye to making Evergreens again. If all goes well I can make and upload some of those while I’m still up in Canada… plus, I’ve got a batch of plugins ready to go, including the amp sims people have been asking for.
If you’re wondering… the little montage at the end is a glimpse of my life here in Canada. The kitty’s one of several who live here, and my lap is totally covered in cat hair (it’s been years since I lost my last pet cat to old age, so there’s something I’d been missing). The town’s a little oil town in Canada and we’re not going to be staying, but here we are for now: and the baked goods and eggs are Ukrainian Easter tradition, all by my lady love, who’s of Ukrainian and Indigenous heritage. And yes, it tastes as good as it looks :)
Enjoy the plugin, and be patient as I teach myself Final Cut Pro and learn to make videos properly. And I hope you like what I’ll have in weeks to come :)
