AirWindows Audio Unit Plug-ins


Chris Johnson is the brains behind the AirWindows audio units plug-ins, which he breaks down into the following groups: tape/tube, dynamics, effects, eq, emulation, mastering, modulation, spatial, bizarre and EXS24 (the sampler for Logic Pro). On the main page, there is also a large number of FREE plug-ins, such as the useful channel, an analog simulation plug-in.

Chris forgoes the faux vintage knob thing, but focuses on good sounding plug-ins, such as the Iron Oxide tape simulation plug-in or his LA2A compressor emulation, Smooth.

SoundHack Delay Trio plug-ins


Tom Erbe, the developer of SoundHack, today released a new version of the freeware SoundHack Delay Trio plug-ins.

All three are derived from a hermite interpolated delay line with variable modulation, and a feedback loop with DC blocking and saturation. Pitch shifting is achieved with a dual head crossfading delay (ala Eltro Tempophon/Dennis Gabor/Pierre Schaeffer phonogene) and is decidedly low-fi. The saturating feedback also allows them to be great drone and noise generators.

The three plugins are +delay, which presents all classic delay effects; +pitchdelay, which is essentially the same plugin with controls oriented toward pitch shifting; and finally +bubbler, which is a granular delay in which grains are pulled from the delay line with randomized start time, delay time and pitch shift.

Version 6.05 can be considered the first real release. Windows users should uninstall previous versions. Windows is for VST and RTAS, Mac is for VST, RTAS and AU, all are freeware.

Audio Damage plug-in videos

I'm a big fan of Audio Damage plug-ins and a regular reader of Chris Randall's blog so I was happy to see that Chris is putting out some useful video tutorial and example videos of how to use some of the plug-ins, particular Dr. Device, which is a complex filtering/effects plug-in.
