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 […]
StereoFXDemo was my take on a stereo widener in 2007. It has several tricks worth noting. The Stereo Wide control doesn’t simply amplify the side channel, it distorts it. It applies a transform designed to bring sound energy forward in space, so boosting it will produce a hyped, wideness effect. The current-plugin equivalent is Wider, which […]
Bite is a precursor to Cojones. Here’s how it works. It works out what the average sample would be, between two points (if you smoothed off the sound completely and there were no transients in there). Then, it checks what actually IS there (not with the sophistication of Cojones, it’s just pretending the ‘smooth’ value would […]
