Just had a few moments with this instrument aimed at bassdrums and it’s pretty solid. Other than most plugins in this vein it comes with its own signal shaping facility containing a kind of compressor, eq, distortion and saturator. » read on!May 6th, 2008 in Gear/News

Bootsy released his Density compressor VST plugin a while ago already but judging compressors is nothing i can do within minutes, hence the delay. After comparing it with the precious UAD Fairchild and some others as well as using it in some tracks i have to say it rocks. » read on!April 23rd, 2008 in Gear/News

The list of available reverberation effects, even free ones, is long – very long. I’ve heard a pretty good selection of those the market has to offer. And eventhough i still dig the good UAD-1 Verbs and Magnus Ambience, the one that gets most of my attention at the moment doesn’t cost a dime and not even much cpu.

Atlantis is one of those rare occurances in the free VST landscape. It reminds me a bit of Crystal in terms of complexity although it’s much more obvious what’s happening inside. I’d need one page for its features alone (doubting they’d really fit on it), rounding it up quickly: it’s a very good VA with little cpu use and you probably won’t miss any features at all. » read on!

What an excellent freebie from the developers of analog emulations Nomad Factory. Warmer Phaser offers one of the best rotary effects i’ve ever heard. Especially at fast LFO rates and little depth it gives such a pleasant vibration rarely seen on the VST domain. » read on!April 7th, 2008 in Gear/News
