LRFlipTimer
TL;DW: LRFlipTimer is a utility that swaps Left with Right every few (1-10) minutes.
While I’m working on the Big Sur issues and getting my studio back together for streaming… and measuring the Mackie 1202 I got, and putting another De Lisle Pentatone in another guitar and making a plugin of it and etc etc etc… hey why not, here’s a utility plugin.
I don’t know how useful this’ll be for you: a person asked me for it, and I was able to do it. This just does one thing.
Every few minutes (as in, one minute to ten minutes) it swaps the L and R channels. It sweeps them across in about a tenth of a second, to prevent any sort of pop or anything. When it’s in LR or RL mode, it is 100% direct pass-through of the audio data word, so this is as clean as stuff like LeftToMono: it’s one of those ones that just copies the data over, not even touching it. That said, this doesn’t belong in your mix: the idea is that if you’re mixing and you do stuff asymmetrically, it’s like visual arts: you might need to flip the canvas left-to-right to see if things are off balance. That’s all this plugin does. You set how many minutes will elapse before it flips or re-flips.
Again, I don’t know if this is gonna set your world on fire, but somebody asked. And it’s a nice break from all the intense struggling with setting up a machine to run Big Sur and all. I’ll let you know when that develops further. See some of you folks on Monday for my coding stream! And I’m actively working on being able to resume the music-making streams in a way that’s comfortable to do, and will give me novel music to use for each plugin posting. It seems like that ought to be possible, I just overcomplicate everything. More later :)

I can imagine the ‘time fader’ replaced by a ‘range fader’, and a piece of code choosing randomically the moment the next flip will happen inside a chosen time range. This plugin is actually a very interesting creative tool, that could be used as a single track insert (i’ve tested with incidental samples) or in a send track, acting over a delay, for example (i’ve tested with percussion drums and hi-hats; panned short sounds sound amazing). I loved it, that’s actually quite useful for creative purposes.
Thanks, Chris.
Chris,
Thanks for all your great plugins!!
I’m already supporting on patreon, and hopefully many others will do too.
I’m looking for one simple tool (a single superclean / supersteep notch filter) to select & remove a single standing frequency in the high frequency range. Do you have such a plugin or could you do one that can do this in an invisible clean way?
All the best to you!!
Happy to hear you’er working on a M1 update, I’m a new and happy user of your amazing plugins, the monitor plugin is pure genius! I recently installed all my air windows plugins om my new M1 mac, and through some “security” hassle I got the plugins into logic and they seam work just fine except for the controls? I’m not sure if this information is any help, but I thought you should know! Thanks again for all your fantastic work!!
