The new version will not go to silence at all, but slams just the 20K range (or whatever’s really near the Nyquist frequency) […]
IronOxideDemo was the start of a whole lot! This plugin helped launch Airwindows. It’s an old school tape sim, by which I mean it’s ‘bandpassy’ and distorted. Back in the day, people considered that to be the sound of a ‘tape plugin’. Iron Oxide was largely created as a sort of crusade. I had friends who […]
