Instrument: Preserves the authentic character of the instrument.

Bass: Adds punch and weight to electric, acoustic, and synth basses.

Muteomatic

Muteomatic is a free audio and studio utility VST, VST3, Audio Unit, RTAS, AAX plugin developed by Sound Radix. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Muteomatic is an elegant and simple plug-in that automates the activation of a talkback or listen microphone channel according to your DAW’s transport state and boldly displays the channel’s activation status.

Did you ever find yourself talking to the band in the studio excitedly, only to realize that you’ve spoken to yourself for the last few minutes, because you’d forgotten to press the talkback button? Or did you ever have to put out a fire started by a client who had commented on a talent’s attitude while the talkback mic had been unwittingly left open?

Enter Muteomatic.

Muteomatic will auto-mute the talkback or listen mic channels according to your DAW’s transport state, opening the mic automatically when the DAW stops and muting it back when the DAW is in playback or recording mode, all while clearly displaying when the mic is open or muted, so that you won’t find yourself in awkward positions or have to play fireman again.

In addition, Muteomatic can be used to auto-mute long effect tails or a monitor’s vocal effects when the DAW is no longer playing, clearing the air for intelligible conversation.

Harpex-B

Harpex-B is a free stereo imaging VST, Audio Unit, RTAS, AAX plugin developed by Harpex. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Harpex-B is a high-resolution surround processor for soundfield recordings. Available both as a plug-in and a stand-alone player, these tools make an already versatile surround and stereo recording technique even more interesting.

Soundfield microphones have gained a faithful following since their introduction thirty years ago and are today offered by several manufacturers. They are commonly used both as compact stereo microphones and surround microphones. They already provide more post-production possibilities than any other portable recording technique.

With the introduction of Harpex-B, several new and useful possibilities become available:

Precise rendering of the frontal stage in 5.1 surround with good channel separation.

Emulating non-coincident microphone techniques like ORTF or AB with a single, compact microphone unit.

Adjusting the ratio between reverberant and direct sound.

Emulating high-resolution 3D dummy head recordings.

Isolating sound sources through sharp spatial filtering.

B-format is the standard surround format for soundfield microphones. While conversion between B-format and other formats has always been possible, the spatial resolution has been limited to that of first-order microphones. This is insufficient for the frontal stage of 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 speaker layouts. High-resolution processors make use of advanced signal processing that mimics the kind of spatial analysis that a human listener uses to separate and localize the many sound sources in a complex sound scene. This results in a level of channel separation and spatial definition that has never been possible before.
