No matter how much you beg and plead, no matter how much you wait patiently, sometimes, your desires fall on deaf ears.
Wait no longer, that same auto engagement system you see on high end guitar systems is here right on your desktop/laptop/mobile device hosting your amp modeler of choice!
Put in your MIDI Continuous Controller signal and turn on and off your wah wah, pitch bender, volume control or any other MIDI switchable FX you want to modulate.
Audio Units Users: NOTE that Audio Units are not able to transmit MIDI CC messages. It will only function as a MIDI Effect.
DrumEQ is a static/dynamic EQ who’s frequency centers are set to octave multiples of the resonant frequency of the drum. A secondary, “Alternate Resonance” can also be added to subtly or drastically change the character of the drum as well.
How often when looking at old mixes, do you find that the cuts and boosts on your drum eq’s are centered around multiples of the drum’s resonant frequency? Perhaps this realization has led to you always keeping a calculator app open?
De-cramped filters remove all paranoia of cutting or boosting in the higher frequencies.
• Full featured compressor per band
• Lookahead
• Zero Latency for Realtime use! (when lookahead isn’t engaged of course)
• Upward AND downward expansion – add more bounce to your sound or cut some quiet frequencies out
• Hold control, for adding copious amounts of predictive power to your dynamic moves, in addition to the standard attack and release envelope parameters
• Defeatable soft or hard output limiter
• FU-G Mode – Thanks Glenn!
Whether for surgical corrections , wide smooth shifts, debleeding drums, de-essing and removing plosives from voices, making space in a mix, or even telephone vocals, aiXdsp’s Dynamic EQ has you covered!
Our Iconic Reverb is a full-featured reverb putting you in complete control of the reverb components’ shapes.
Iconic Reverb includes the standard, traditional reverb controls, but add some novel control over the shape of the early reflections and reverb tails. Early reflections can be a standard ER generator or a user drawn ER shape, or any mix between the two. The reverb tail itself is drawn by an envelope, allowing for even reverse, gated or other nonlinear fix rivaling or surpassing the iconic hardware units of yesteryear. High and lowpass vs time envelopes are also provided. The ER and the tail also have their own EQs. HOW the reverb will be used in the mix is also well addressed, with side-chainable gate and ducking modules, allowing a control signal internally, or from a separate channel’s signal. A modulation and shimmer module give Iconic Reverb the ability to create these more modern reverb sounds, without even leaving the plugin! Quality of life user interface features like early reflection solo.
Now with SSL Bus Mode!
You have often seen an oscilloscope output an example of a snare drum waveform before and after a compressor. You’ve seen it in various academic papers, ads, articles, or even your recording school curriculum. It’s amazing to see what affect dynamics processing is having on your signal!
Unfortunately, as you have also seen, it’s not so easy to use a virtual plugin O-scope to get this same information. It can have you questioning which calendar year you are in!
aiXdsp brings you the Intuition Compressor – A compressor that peels back the layers of mystery surrounding dynamics processing. You will have a clear and intuitive visual display that shows exactly what is happening to your precious audio at all times.
Sometimes, trying to figure out exactly where MIDI is going or what exactly the messages are or even….if there’s ANY MIDI going at all at the moment can be the most frustrating thing in the universe!
Fear not, aiXdsp is giving you a free MIDI monitor you can use in your DAW of choice and make sense of all the nonsense
Grab it here, spread the word, and please, let us know how you like it!
More than a decade ago, I made a version of this in WDL (thanks Rob!) to deal with the problem of “one note bass” and dealing with overly loud or overly dead bass notes across the bass fret-board. My mastering engineer ended up using it for far more things, and I have been meaning to update it ever since. In this version, you actually have a limiter per band. In earlier versions, just EQ-ing a hole sometimes caused more problems than it fixed, but now, with the limiter, you can get a hold of the mix when its making trouble and leave it alone when it isn’t! Click “E” (for Enable, were still deciding on the name) in order to enable a band (they are off by default) and “D” in an enabled band to turn on the limiter. Switch octaves with the +/- buttons under the spectrum. Note that the octaves are shown in the spectrum display so you don’t have to do the math.
