AcousticBass is one of the early Airwindows convolution plugins. It’s programmed similarly to CabSVT, which is to say oddly but if you like the sound it’s all good. Part of it was to try and get a convolution impulse done through raw multiplies like a giant FIR filter, but in such a way that the computers […]
CabSVT is a monster plugin. It runs off convolution impulses, so it expects you to be running at 44.1K (mind you, it’ll still work whatever sampling rate you have, it’ll just be pitched up) and it applies a bass guitar cab impulse to your tone. It does it in an extremely peculiar way, even for Airwindows. […]
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 […]
ChannelEQ is an early four-band fixed-frequency EQ. It uses pretty normal EQ code—okay, I lied, it’s not really very normal at all. The basic EQ code isn’t that unusual, but it’s two separate EQs interleaved (a common Airwindows trick). The bands are built up in such a way that if it’s zeroed out, it’s passing unaltered […]
