Betabugs Audio Simple Squeeze

Simple Squeeze - This plug-in is the embodi-ment of the Betabugs design ethos. One knob! Auto gain make-up is present, and there is an always-on smooth brick-wall limiter at the end, just to make sure you never get any nasty digital clipping. The knob simultaneously controls threshold and gain, so that the more you crank it, the more squashed your signal gets.

you left out the best one GCOMP . visualized waveform makes it much easier...

GComp is a compressor designed for general mixing duties, i.e. it aims to transparently level-out the incoming signal to fit better into a mix. The GUI features a waveform display to show what is happening to the signal and to aid the configuration process. It can be used in mono or stereo configurations, with the GUI adapting accordingly. This plug-in introduces a small delay, and so is best used in hosts featuring PDC (Plug-in Delay Compensation).

i know that, jesus and this as an ongoing thread, quite a few others one could post ;) / glad you're participating

the reason i haven't tried the gcomp plugs is this

''This plug-in introduces a small delay, and so is best used in hosts featuring PDC (Plug-in Delay Compensation). ''
cos this kinda irritated me. if that's no problem in fruity, i will give the entire g.series a test, mate

there used to be a similar vst by tbl (thug of war compressor), but his page is down (and with it other nice plugs as a maximizer, 'tapestop' and so on).

if anyone would like the plugs or would even be willing to host them, just give me a shout

George Yohng's W1 Limiter VST

No image here, because:

"W1 uses the plug-in host's default interface."

W1 Limiter is a clone of Waves L1, with identical output. :!: :!: :!:

I have not seen any Waves source code, and this result was obtained by tweaking 4Front YLimiter, by doing the following:
Release curve simplified
Release time multiplied 3 times (see notes below)
Softening circuit filter changed
Waves L1 famous limiter (and thus W1 - for compatibility reasons) uses three times longer actual release time than standard RT60 metric. This means that if you set 50ms release in the limiter, it will actually yield with 150ms standard RT60 release time.

Since this cloning could be done, you may have no doubt that in the future I'll provide you with a commercial limiter, that beats everything currently available (I have prototypes already).

How to check this limiter compatibility to L1?

Process the same sound with L1 and with this limiter, using the same threshold and release settings.

During measurement, check that both of the sounds are aligned properly. You can insert a single test peak in the beginning, and after processing - clip the sound, so that it starts exactly from the peak.

Subtract the results and see the residue.

Note, that you can't set sliders exactly to the same values on both limiters. 30ms release may mean actually 30.01234ms, so due to such minor differences, there will be small residue left.

Thanks to both for sterling work on the much freeness front!

the fish fillets
channel insert package

BLOCKFISH is a versatile compressor with countless ways to shape the incoming audio.
Unlike many other digital compressors, BLOCKFISH has 'soul'. It likes to bite, but it can be tamed easily once you've learned how to use its potential.

SPITFISH

SPITFISH is a dead-easy to use de-esser, aimed mainly at mono or stereo vocal tracks. Just like classic analog de-essers, this unit dynamically filters out harsh, annoying s-like sounds that would otherwise 'spit' in your face.

FLOORFISH

FLOORFISH is a simple expander / gate device, easy to set up and offers a broad variety of processing, ranging from slight expansion, backgound noise attenuation to extreme gating effects.
What's different from similar units is the ability to scan the source and adjust the transistion curve accordingly

...some lo-fi stuff now...

From just a little dirt, to total destruction of the sound.

- Downscaler (pitch shifting)

- Crusher/resampler

- 12dB lowpass, bandpass or highpass filter

- Waveshaper/distorter with 5 different waveshapes

- Random preset button!
- Automation support
- Smooth fader control
- 16 Presets

...waveshaping/dist kinda...

Cyanide 2.0

Oh YEAH, baby.
At last I've found the time to update Cyanide :-).
This one has taken a long time with lot's of new features.
The shaper now updates while you drag it, there's a preview, the filters are MUCH better and smooth, the bugs in the bank/patch-saving are gone and there's some SERIOUS heavy-duty anti-aliasing.
Oh, and you can control everything but the shaper via midi too. Read the readme included...

If you like this one PLEASE donate something. It's been hard work re-coding this one like it should have been.

PS (loopdon): whack dat behind a 303 fer some

okay i'm hooked on these free vsti's now
they do really unconventional stuff that sometimes fit the bill and without spending days programing reaktor or synthedit.
