TDR Nova

TDR Nova is a free equalizer VST, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Tokyo Dawn Labs. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

TDR NOVA is a parallel dynamic equalizer. Appearing in the familiar layout of a parametric equalizer, each band also includes a full featured dynamics section allowing the processor to cover an impressively wide range of applications. Be it a master lacking density, the drum bus asking for more crispiness, or a sibilance problem in your perfect take: NOVA has an elegant answer.

A user friendly WYSIWYG drag and drop display paired with a classic “knob” interface gives quick and smooth access to the various parameters driving NOVA’s powerful processing capabilities. With its four dynamic EQ bands and additional high-pass and low-pass filter sections, NOVA can meet the most exotic demand. Intuitive equal loudness functions help finding the optimal setting without getting distracted by loudness differences.

In practice, the processor covers a whole bucket of tasks:

Parametric equalization.

Dynamic equalization.

Frequency selective compression.

Multi-band compression.

Wideband compression.

Of course NOVA features all helpers and work-flow enhancements you’ve come to expect in a TDR plugin: A preset manager, undo/redo, A/B, detailed documentation, copy & paste, and much more.

TDR Nova is free. The improved “Gentleman’s Edition” is available here.

TDR Feedback Compressor II

TDR Feedback Compressor II is a free compressor VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Tokyo Dawn Labs. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

The TDR Feedback Compressor II is a major design update of its critically acclaimed predecessor. The compressor is dedicated to the highest fidelity stereo program (2-buss) compression, but shines equally in classic mixing tasks.

Most modern compressors analyse the input signal to control gain reduction. This is known as a “feed-forward” topology. The TDR Feedback Compressor II, however, analyses the output. This approach delivers unobtrusive and highly musical compression characteristics which mean the compressor is able to handle complex signals with ease.

The TDR Feedback Compressor II takes this traditional compression topology to new heights as a state of the art dynamics processor combining an unusual and highly flexible, yet intuitive control scheme. The compressor has been carefully tuned for intuitive and musical operation for almost every situation. No compromises have been made in order to achieve the highest possible quality of dynamic control.

We want to emphasize the fact that the processor neither tries to emulate any previously available device, nor does it follow popular trends like “virtual analogue”, “circuit modelling” or similar buzz words. This is a proud digital processor, made with an immense amount of love and care.

TDR Feedback Compressor

TDR Feedback Compressor is a free compressor VST plugin developed by Tokyo Dawn Labs. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Important: Version II is now available!

A carefully designed RMS-based dynamic range compressor. The processor is dedicated to sum/bus compression and is the result of an intensive study about the musical behaviour of “classic” feed-back compressor designs. Most modern compressors analyze the input signal to control gain reduction. The feed-back compressor design however “listens” to its output. This non-intuitive approach delivers an unobtrusive and highly musical compression characteristic that is able to handle complex signals with ease.

We want to emphasize the fact that the processor neither tries to emulate any previously available device, nor does it follow popular trends like “virtual analogue”, “vintage” or similar buzz terms. This is a proud digital processor, made an immense amount of love and care.

Notable features:

Typical “Feed-Back Compression” musicality and behavior.

All relevant calculations are done at 64-bit precision.

Differential oversampling structure (only the “wet” part is oversampled).

Re-sampling via high quality linear phase filters.

Advanced stereo-linking (reduces audible cross-modulation).

Adaptive integration time RMS detector. Optional PEAK and adjustable RMS detection.

Freely adjustable compression knee.

Upward compression mode.

Optional 6dB/oct and 3dB oct HP side-chain filters.

Optional low and high frequency harmonic distortion.

Independent release controls for fast and slow program material.

Delta preview mode. Allows to preview the difference between compressed and original signal.

Latency compensated parallel bypass (i.e. processing not interrupted).

TapeDelay

TapeDelay is a free delay and echo VST plugin developed by e-phonic. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Features:

Accurate tape delay emulation.

Smooth tape-like delay time changes.

Up to 1 second delay.

High and low cut.

Tapatiki

Tapatiki is a free delay VST plugin developed by GaryG. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

An 8 tap delay effect, designed with simplicity of operation in mind.

Primarily intended for the creation of rhythmic patterns, Tapatiki offers a large range of tempo sync options (2/1 down to 1/64, dotted and triplet options) as well as non-synced delay times of up to two seconds.

Each tap offers level, pan, feedback and a simple filter. This filter can be placed either within the feedback loop or after it. It offers both low and high pass filtering in a single control. Taps can be individually disabled when not required.

A global feedback multiplier can modify the feedback amount of each channel simultaneously from x0 (effectively killing the feedback) to x2. Although Tapatiki has been tuned to prevent excessive feedback loops, a Panic button is also offered to kill runaway feedback.

The controls have been designed for ease of use e.g. sliders that can be dragged from any point, quickly set a controls value with a right-click, no drop-downs, etc.

TAN

TAN is a free compressor VST, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Acustica Audio. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

Acustica is pleased to introduce TAN compressor based on CORE8 with a classic analog VCA compression. TAN it is a very versatile tool to provide a lot of possibilities to shape the sound with gorgeous graphical user interface.

In TAN you will find the most common compressors parameters like attack, release, threshold, ratio, dry/wet and gain, to allow you an extremely wide range of adjustments, but the exciting news is what we call “ShMod”, a compressor shape control for the attack behavior that allows you to fine-tune the attack shape so you can really customize the attack behavior for any audio source.

Preamp Section:
• Hardware preamp simulation (PRE): on and off.

Compressor Section:
• Threshold: from -64 dB to +0 dB.
• Ratio: from 2, 4 and 8.
• Attack: from 0.1 ms to 30 ms.
• Release: from 0.1 sec. to 1.6 sec.
• SHMod (adjustable attack shape): from 0 to 4.
• Gain: from 0 dB to 24 dB.
• Dry/Wet (parallel compressor): from 0 to 100%.

Formats Supported:
• Support operation systems: OS X and Windows.
• Supported plug-in formats: VST2, AAX, and AU.
• Supported architectures: 32 and 64-bits.

Price and Availability:
• free. Available as a digital download immediately after website registration.

About Acqua Effect plug-ins:
An Acqua plug-in is a stand-alone skinned Nebula library, in other words it is a software product developed as a parametrization of one or more Nebula’s instances. Parametrization is achieved using the script languages proprietary to Acustica Audio and does not require external tools and compilers.

About Acustica Audio:
Acustica Audio is a company that is active in the field of information technology and audio engineering. The company’s goal is to provide the most authentic reproduction of sampled vintage gear and other high-end hardware devices. Over the years it has become well known for audio plug-ins, by manufacturing its own software products and marketing them both in Italy and worldwide. Acustica technology is based on a software engine of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) developed by Acustica Audio that emulates other DSPs, by modelling them through a proprietary sampling technique. Unlike the audio sampler, which is an electronic musical instrument able to capture and reproduce audio samples, Acustica technology can sample and emulate the behavior of an audio processor, by reproducing its harmonic response, harmonic distortion and dynamic response as time and other external variables (like user controls) change.
