Hi! I've got a new plugin you can have! These plugins come in Mac AU, and Mac, Windows and Linux VST. They are state of the art sound, have no DRM, and have totally minimal generic interface so you focus on your sounds.

Floor

Floor is all about bass guitar and kick drums—you can sculpt and tighten the lows in a very useful way, and/or throw in midrange impact. It works kind of like Density/Drive, but when used to control subsonics the wet channel suggests more lows.

That’s by design: it’s one of the ‘simulate added bass’ plugins like MaxxBass etc. which generate harmonics to imply a fundamental. If that’s the kind of thing you tend to need, Floor ought to be useful, and it is a freebie so there’s no reason you can’t try it out.

Cojones

CojonesDemo is an AU universal binary plugin to adjust just that. You can add or subtract it—listen to the demos. For voices, also raspy guitars. This is not an EQ or anything like one. Unique as far as I know.

You get Breathy, Cojones, and Body to play with. Breathy and Cojones balance against each other. Body is more of a lows fill-in.

Cojones works like this: it tracks sound looking for regularity and irregularity, and separates out some of the ‘frizz’ and irregularity in the sound. Then you get to either amplify just that raggedness and irregularity, or minimize it. Again, this doesn’t work like anything normal, so try it to see if the sound makes sense for you. I could easily see this as a secret weapon for EDM sound design!

Cojones runs one sample of latency.

Cojones is $50.

TubeSag

TubeSag originated a kind of processing that ended up in Desk, in more manageable form. What you get is a Depth control and two Speed controls, that work in parallel.

With these you dial in areas of sag. Sag works like this: it’s like power supply sag (which is what it got called in Desk). Loud sound going through the plugin for an extended period uses up ‘power supply energy’ and that attenuates the output. It’s faster than a compressor and doesn’t really have attack or release speeds, it’s just tied to the overall output.

Most applications of this will make output sound kind of grungy and degraded. Lower speeds make it seem on the attacky side, higher speeds accentuate treble edginess.

If you’d like a copy of this plugin, buy the current version of Desk and email me: I’ll send you one (but Desk does already do this, just not at two frequencies at once)

Voice Of The Starship

Voice Of The Starship is a plugin designed to produce environment noise—not just natural, but unnatural environments. Namely, spaceship rumble, like what you heard in episodes of Star Trek. It defaulted to a seashore-like effect, with random surges that fall away again. In stereo, these ‘waves’ hit at different times on left and right.

If you’d like this plugin, buy its successor Noise, and ask me for it by email. I’ll send it.
