Airwindows

Chris

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.

StereoDoubler

StereoDoubler is a tricky little plugin that’s just a little glitchy and insane.

What it does, is detune the input it’s given, so it can make one detuned copy hard right, and one hard left. There’s a dry/wet control to mix this with the input, which can be dual mono or whatever else you like (probably a mono track panned center makes the best sense)

Thing is, the technology it’s using to do this… comes from Glitch Shifter.

If you keep the detune from being too extreme, you can probably get a lovely wide spread that has real richness of tone. But if you push the detune too far, you will get pops or sputters, no question about it. So detune wisely.

Or, heck, if you want to get really seasick, go ahead and crank the detune. We all gotta have fun where we find it ;)

StereoDoubler declares one sample of latency.

Doubler

Doubler is just what it says: another early Airwindows pitch-shifter freebie. It’s more in the chorus vein than the harmonizer vein, but as it’s a freebie that can be forgiven. Happy doubling! This is an N to N plugin, meaning that it works in mono and runs dual-mono when put on a stereo track.

Golem

GolemDemo is a utility plugin for use with heavy guitar miking, when you have two mics on a stereo track but need to sum them to mono, balance them, and adjust relative phase. Includes a phase switch for tuning phase through cancellation. The name comes from the Sneap metal recording forum, where they call this type of miking “Clayman” miking after a notable album using it. It’s also called “Fredman” miking after a studio where they’re constantly using this miking- and also called ‘two mics on a guitar cab’ by people who think it is silly to give it a bunch of evocative names.

It’s a delay and a balance control for blending two tracks given as a stereo pair. Balance picks between the two sides and blends them accordingly, to mono. Offset delays either one or the other, an amount determined by the phase popup. The mic/guitar range is tighter, the bass/DI range is a bigger maximum delay. This becomes pretty much the same as moving the mic in and out, and lets you fiddle with the phase post-recording.

Anyway, the plugin’s named Golem, and Golem is $50.

Toybox

Toybox is nothing more or less than a tiny manual FIR filter! If you’d like to tweak the individual poles of a mini impulse response, or average samples (note: a more recent freebie, Average, makes that easier) then Toybox is the toy for you. Because it’s a simple and tight little FIR implementation, you’ll get good tonal depth out of whatever you construct.
