Vanilla Compressor

ZynAddSubFX free software-synthesizer by paulnasca 2

Vanilla Compressor is a free compressor VST plugin developed by ChunkWare. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

The Vanilla Compressor is a general-purpose, stereo compressor plugin, with optional sidechain input. It can be used on individual instruments, across aux busses, or even as a mastering effect. Its fine-tuned, “smooth as buttah” sidechain and specialized release shapes make it equally at home with vocals, drums, guitars and full mixes. Use it sparingly for subtle, transparent “tightening”; or drive it hard and fast for deep, “balls-to-the-walls” pumping.

The Vanilla Compressor is currently in the alpha stage, and is free to download and evaluate. After development is completed, the final release will be available for purchase for US$50.

Features:

  • Threshold: -40dB to 0dB in 0.1dB increments.
  • Ratio: 1:1 (no compression) to 20:1 (limiting).
  • Soft-knee: 0dB (linear/”hard knee”) to 12dB (nonlinear/”soft knee”) in 0.5dB steps.
  • Max Make-up: Maximizes the output gain to 0dB, such that it is proportional to the threshold and ratio parameters.
  • Compressor Output: -40dB to +40dB in 0.1dB increments.
  • Attack.
  • Release.
  • Release Shape: Smooth, Pump, ARC-1 & ARC-2 (Auto Release Control).
  • Key Input (for sidechain).
  • Detection: Peak and RMS.
  • SideChain Filter: Let the compressor react to certain frequencies, while ignoring others. Off, Low, High and Band settings.
  • Frequency: Cutoff frequency for the sidechain filter (60Hz to 6kHz).
  • Listen: Listen to the sidechain (control) signal at the output of the filter, before it is rectified/averaged.
  • Mix: Wet/Dry mix.
  • Output: -40dB to +40dB in 0.1dB increments.
  • Limiter.

The Vanilla Compressor uses RMS power summing for stereo linking, to maintain an accurate image of stereo signals.

ThrillseekerVBL

ThrillseekerVBL free limiter by Variety Of Sound

ThrillseekerVBL is a free limiter VST plugin developed by Variety Of Sound. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

ThrillseekerVBL – Vintage Broadcast Limiter – is an emulation of a “vintage broadcast limiter” following the classic Variable-Mu design principles from the early 1950’s. They were used to prevent audio overshoots by managing sudden signals changes. From today’s perspective, and compared to brickwall limiters, they are rather slow and should be seen as more of a gain structure leveler, but they still are shining when it comes to perform gain riding in a very musical fashion – they have warmth and mojo written all over.

Thrillseeker VBL is a “modded” version, which not only has the classic gain reduction controls but also grants detailed access to the amount and appearance of harmonic tube amplifier distortion occurring in the analog tube circuit. Applied in subtle doses, this dials in that analog magic we often miss when working in the digital domain, but you can also overdrive the circuit to have more obvious but still musical sounding harmonic distortion (and according side-effects) for use as a creative effect.

On top, Thrillseeker VBL offers an incredibly authentic audio transformer simulation which not only models the typical low-end harmonic distortion but also all the frequency and load dependent subtleties occurring in a transformer coupled tube circuit, and which add up to that typical mojo we know from the analog classics. This would not have been possible with plain waveshaping techniques but has been realized with my innovative Stateful Saturation approach, making it possible to model circuits having a (short) sort of memory.
