Lowpass is another strange early Airwindows creation! The top slider is just a frequency control for a one-pole interleaved lowpass, the range covering the full range of sound from silence to Nyquist. The bottom slider’s the one that gets weird. It adjusts between soft and hard, with the middle position being ‘normal lowpass’. Soft means, louder […]
Compressor is a weird little beast! If you’re looking for a great sounding, well-behaved, sane compressor, go buy the most recent Logical. This is not that. What it IS, is Airwindows strangeness in an exceedingly pure form. You get compression, attack speed, release speed, color, makeup gain, and dry/wet. Compression includes some makeup gain adjusting. Don’t […]
Ambience is an early Airwindows plugin that uses the concept of Haas effect (or, precedence effect, or law of first wavefront) to fill in additional sonic information in a way that doesn’t mask the initial transient. It does this in an interesting way: it’s calling on lots of individual delay taps from 811 to 7883 samples, […]
Highpass is a really old one! It’s a simple one-pole Airwindows interleaved highpass filter, but it has a weird control (because of course it does). That control is loose/tight, and it’s one of the most spectacular secret weapons for bass/subs mastering ever. In the middle, it returns a very normal sort of highpass, not too steep […]
