Desk was the precursor of algorithmic Airwindows console modeling. The techniques used in these plugins are still present in the current Desk, but back in the day there were three, not one. Desk was the subtlest: slew limiting and saturation calibrated to be very, very subtle. TransDesk had that plus a trace of TubeSag set […]
BussColors was out in 2010. It’s based on console modeling plugins that were sold as the ‘Character bundle’ in 2007 (APIcolypse, Calibre, Cider, Elation, Logical, Luxor, Neverland, Precious). Airwindows has been developing virtual console modeling for quite a while, though it’s really the plugin-set Console itself that was the real breakthrough. However, the ‘coloration’ side […]
ShortBuss was a very interesting experiment. The idea was to build a mix buss that did not ‘slam’, but added fullness. This was done by measuring how much was being saturated in a very soft and gentle overdrive, saving that up, and applying it as second harmonic so the fullness wasn’t lost. There’s also acceleration […]
Channel2 is the classic freebie analogifying plugin, Channel, brought up to date. The selector switch bug is fixed, so you can play with the Neve and API settings! There’s anti-aliasing for a slicker, less digital sound! It’s better than ever and still totally free. Channel2 works in three ways. First, there’s a very faint touch of […]
