ShortBuss
ShortBuss was a very interesting experiment.
The idea was to build a mix buss that did not ‘slam’, but added fullness. This was done by measuring how much was being saturated in a very soft and gentle overdrive, saving that up, and applying it as second harmonic so the fullness wasn’t lost. There’s also acceleration limiting present, like you get in ToVinyl. Lastly, it was one of the first serious Airwindows ‘no controls’ plugins, long before Console or Mudslide existed.
This early, the technology wasn’t totally there. It misbehaves on some content, and the bass can get out of hand. But, years later, everything ShortBuss was trying to achieve came true—in the plugin Righteous.
If you’d like to play on the ShortBuss, buy Righteous and ask me for ShortBuss in email. I’ll send it to you.
Hi, Chris!
You have some great outside-of-the-box thinking plugins! An idea that came to me while mixing was an ADSR (envelope) plugin. I think controlling the envelope post effect(s) can yield some interesting results. I bet you can imagine without me even giving an example. What do you think?
Sincerely,

P.S. I tried sending an email but it bounced back. :-\
Hi Chris!
Has ths plugin been replaced by another one, or is it still available?
Stay tuned, I was working on a new ShortBuss just yesterday :)
