FREE DIRECTX PLUG-INS For those of you with home
recording set ups here's a few plug-ins that
are distributed free by the manufacturers. All are very useful and I would
highly recommend their other software products.
The LMC-1 plug-in is a faithful recreation of the Listen Mic Compressor from
SSL's legendary "E" Series console. For the first time this unique
compression algorithm is now available to users of Digital Audio Workstations.
The ultimate lo-fi
weapon, iZotope Vinyl uses 64-bit processing and advanced filtering, modeling
and resampling to create authentic "vinyl" simulation, as if the audio
was a record being played on a record player. PSP VintageMeter provides professional VU and PPM metering for mono and
stereo tracks. All parameters like integration times and reference levels are
widely adjustable to make this free plug-in suitable for any application.
PSP PianoVerb reproduces
special kind of reverberation originally provided by piano strings. It generates
reverberation using twelve string operators with adjustable damping and decay
time. Each of them is tuned to a particular note starting from A(55Hz) to a
G#(103.8Hz). The PSP PianoVerb string system can be transposed in the range of
+-24 semitones, tuned within a range of +-100 cents and be detuned as well.
Transposing to lower octaves produces a bigger and less resonant sound similar
to traditional reverbs, while in turn transposing to higher octaves produces a
very bright harp-like effect.
dB-T tempo delay. Now in DirectX
form, this stereo delay still lets you enter time in measures, but now offers
individual high & low pass filters on each channel (for old tape delay
effects and special effect delays). Check out the presets for some starting
points.
