YHighpass

TL;DW: YHighpass is soft and smooth to nasty, edgy texture-varying filtering.

See YLowpass, except it’s a highpass :) but there are several ‘one more things’, most notably an upgrade to what I’ve been using for denormalization. I ran into issues with YLowpass munching too much CPU. The fixes I came up with, worked so well, that I’ve applied them to Console7, Console7Cascade, Chamber, Galactic, and several plugins that haven’t come out yet :) As a result, my previous video using YLowpass crept up to 70% CPU at times, and this video using the exact same setup and plugins idles around 35%. I call that a good day (OK, week) of work.

I’m also showing off (in the video) the Beyer mic I got: not because I’ll be switching to that for plugin videos, but because I’m showing you how to record two mics in stereo (one of them a very clean and accurate lavalier mic) and then develop plugins to make the cleaner, more accurate mic act more like the far more expensive and flattering mic. It’s not unlike making Mackity, or something. I’ll be doing this on a Monday livestream once I make the reference files: this is how you’d make those, and where you’d put the mics.

Hope you like YHighpass: once I’m finished with these, I revisit the Z plugins (meant to sound like Emu Z-plane filters from a hardware sampler) bringing these refinements to ’em. Also spotted in the ‘coming soon’ category, Pressure5 and Monitoring2 (with Dark as the base wordlength reducer), and a whole bunch of drum samples I’ve reconfigured for use in Bespoke.

To get the new versions of Console7Channel, Console7Buss, Console7Cascade, Chamber, Galactic, and YLowpass that have the denormalization upgrade, re-install them from the download links below. If for some reason you need to put back the original ones, they can be downloaded from the plugins’ individual webpages: there’s a link for each at the bottom of the post, saying ‘download the original version before the fix here: pluginFirst.zip’. You shouldn’t need to do that but just in case I like to leave the exact original files still there to be downloaded, in case anyone actually needed to :)
