I saw your comments on kvr about this delay. In your opinion, how does this affect the quality of the result? If it doesn’t work well, do you have any confirmation of this?
No, I just wanted to express that 10ms of latency is not very useful for a plugin which you assumingly will use a lot in a song construct in many layers. The latency easily will add up then. I didn’t test the quality nor compared to other rm sidechain tools. I assume now that the latency is oversampling related, just for the ISP mode… For some reason the mode also is automatable, which would explain the permanent latency (no dynamic latency change possible then). I would suggest to the Kilohearts dev to drop the mode automation and instead auto adapt the latency (zero if not set to “isp mode”). These are all assumptions only though.
Personally I find oversampling in a ringmod sidechain, or e.g. for clipping completely dubious. It’s already distorted af, why then oversampling? But maybe I don’t understand the real purpose simply.
I think you can ask all this in their official discord channel. It is quite possible that the developer did not take into account what things are possibly being observed, since the observation technology is new.

Just realized it was never posted here, but Spectral plugins closed doors, but decided to give away their existing plugins for free. (or maybe I don’t know how to use the search properly haha)
Never used Spacer & OCS-45, but Pancz is a killer multiband transient shaper. I also use quite a lot their parallel compression feature that is easier than setting up a bus etc.. (even though the level of compression doesn’t seems configurable, it’s quite handy for small touches here and there)
EDIT: searched more, and it was indeed already posted Recommended Freeware Vst-plugins - #326 by Jonas
Guess it cost nothing to give a reminder haha

Edit: beware high resonance on the Vintage Ladder when algo choosing, particularly with loud monitoring/ headphones on!

Looks like it, not sure about Oberheim, but its a nice freebie on first tests.

6 hours agoHey thanks for the mention! As mentioned in the docs this exists to test some api changes we made to the surge filters but I’m glad folks find it handy in its own right!
from github:
Really, its a test bed for our new Filter API. But you may find it fun.

some of them look really interesting!
Is it a bundle that installs everything or could we just grab a few ?
On Windows at least, the installer puts them all in your VST 2 folder in one go. It fills a folder/ or sub-folder you make with dlls and keys like so:
like Legs says, just go through and delete/zip any your not keen on after.

Thanks! I’m on mac but that works the same usually, just not the same directory
Will probably get a few then. Did any of you tried some ? which are your favorites ?
For limiting I usually use LoudMax, not sure I will get Barricade.
I was thinking of getting Ferox, Broadcast Processor and ReelBus.
and Maybe Bus Compressor, De-Esser, EzEQ and Fix.

I don’t usually download new plugins when I’m working on a track (I usually wait to start a new one), but since I was entering the mixing phase of my last track I gave it a try.
BusCompressor is a killer thing, with the upward option, perfect to glue and give punch to a drum bus.
Broadcast Processor seems pretty powerful also, but the UI is quite hard to wiggle with

I’ve bought some of the toneboosters stuff back in the day (track essentials etc…) , seeing all of them given away for free is awesome .
Don’t sleep on reelbus 3 , it might be overshadowed by reelbus 4 but it’s still pretty damn nice .
So is ferox !

Oh nice. That was my first synth over 20 years ago, when that superwave sound was all the rage in many obnoxious trance tracks.
Edit: Looks like this is a JP8080, not 8000. I heard, they sound a little bit different. I compared the specs and the 8080 also has a vocoder and audio-in for preocessing. That’s pretty cool.
Wow! They always do a great job. Can’t wait to compare it with the original in my studio.
