Dead simple, powerful compression.

Introducing EpicPRESS from Cut Through Recordings! EpicPRESS is designed to be as flexible as possible, giving you full control over your dynamics. This plug-in features stereo-linked compressors to give a smooth and even compression across both channels, as well as automatic make-up gain. The one of a kind display shows the threshold, knee, and output peak level as one.

Features:

  • Attack, release, threshold, knee, and gain controls.
  • Automatic make-up gain.
  • Visualized compression curve.
  • Input/Output meter.
  • Low-latency.
  • Low CPU usage.

Compression

The compression for EpicPRESS comes with the following controls: Attack Time, Release Time, Threshold, Knee width, and Gain.

Attack and release time is measured in milliseconds with attack time ranging from 0 to 300ms, and release time ranging from 20 to 5000ms.

Threshold is measured in decibels and ranges from 0 to -40dB.

EpicPRESS has a soft-knee function which is measured in decibels with a max width of 12dB. 0dB results in a hard knee.

The Display

The display for EpicPRESS is one of a kind. It allows you to visualize what the compression curve looks like. The display to the right of the controls shows a graph of input to output measured in dB. In realtime the input and output are shown as the shaded area under the compression curve.

This compressor will feel at home on any track and any workflow. Add it to your toolbox and find out for yourself.

EnveLover

EnveLover free gate by Press Play

EnveLover is a free gate VST, VST3, Audio Unit plugin developed by Press Play. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

EnveLover is a one-of-a-kind midi-controlled audio gate effect. It will speed up your musical workflow by giving you the ability to trigger a dynamics processor with MIDI signals. Play it with a keyboard or drum pad just like you would play any digital instrument. Versatile envelope settings and visualizations allow for accurate control of the sound.

Key features:

  • midi-controlled audio gate effect.
  • sample-accurate MIDI processing and zero latency.
  • analog and digital style envelope models.
  • fine-grained control over all important envelope settings.
  • support for velocity and aftertouch.
  • inverse mode for dynamic gain reduction (compressor mode).
  • envelope signal visualization.

EnveLover is an audio effect plug-in which applies a dynamic gain to the incoming audio stream. The amount of gain is controlled by an envelope signal that is triggered by MIDI note-on messages. The plug-in parameters allow to adjust both the envelope curves and the applied gain, covering a wide range of audio applications. There are three different envelope models available, two analog and one digital. In addition, it is possible to modulate the gain with MIDI velocity and channel aftertouch.

Emissary

Emissary free amp-simulator by Ignite Amps

Emissary is a free amp simulator VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Ignite Amps. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

The Emissary is a digital emulation of a custom dual channel guitar tube amplifier. It has been developed to accurately model its real hardware counterpart, built for Ryan Huthnance (The Seer / Gaped / Chrome Bison / Emissary Studios) by Ignite Amps, in 2014.

The Emissary is a no compromise custom amp built for the kill. Featuring a very versatile clean channel that ranges from pristine cleans to slightly overdriven tones and a mean lead channel designed for serious bone-crushing distortions, it offers a very wide tonal palette for the modern metal musician.

Every single component on the signal path of the real analog circuit has been taken into account and modeled in the best possible way to match the original sound, keeping an eye on CPU performance and real-time playability at the same time.

The plug-in GUI has been 3D modeled and rendered by Voger Design, in order to resemble the real amplifier as much as possible.

The Emissary is meant to be used as a virtual guitar amplifier for live playing and jamming, tracking or mixing inside hosts capable of AAX, AU VST or VST3 Plug-Ins support.

Elysia niveau filter

Elysia niveau filter free filter | eq by Plugin Alliance

Elysia niveau filter is a free filter and eq VST, VST3, Audio Unit, RTAS, AAX plugin developed by Plugin Alliance. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

The frequency balance

Get the niveau filter section of our famous mpressor plugin – its free! Add punch to muffled snares, reduce the harshness from active pickups, create some wonderful Dub and LoFi sounds…

This filter is a specialist in changing the overall sonic character of a signal with ease. It features two comprehensive controllers and is capable of producing convincing results in no time at all. Whenever a classic shelving filter would be too limited and a fully parametric filter would be too much, the niveau filter is the perfect tool.

Description

Its main function is to change the proportions between high and low frequencies. The principle is quite similar to a pair of scales: Dependent on the gain setting around a variable center frequency, the high frequencies are boosted whereas the low frequencies are attenuated (or vice versa) at the same time.

The center frequency can be shifted continuously between 26 Hz and 2.2 kHz or between 260 Hz and 22 kHz respectively (when the x10 switch is activated). The characteristics of the filter change in the extreme positions of the EQ Gain controller: The fully counter-clockwise setting will give you a low pass filter; fully clockwise position will result in a high pass filter.

Elastik

Elastik free sampler by Ueberschall

Elastik is a free sampler VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Ueberschall. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Elastik is a flexible studio tool for the creation of professional music productions. It powers all of Ueberschall’s sample libraries.

Elastik offers a whole range of desirable features:

– The ReTune tab in the Loopeye editor gives you complete control over the scale and key of any tonal loop and can even work with polyphonic material. The ReTune algorithm, developed by zplane.development, analyzes polyphonic and monophonic sound material in realtime and transform it to the desired key and scale while retaining high audio quality.

– If you want complete control over the time and pitch stretching process, the Time tab within the Loopeye editor allows you to choose between six different algorithms, from the simple and efficient PitchSpeed to the high quality ProV3 which gives you the maximum scope for varying pitch and tempo while minimizing audio artifacts.

– Elastik includes a random sound replacement function called Inspire: one click on the Inspire button and Elastik will select an alternative loop. You can define which soundbanks will be used in the Inspire tool with the new Inspire browser. Now, with Elastik 3.1 you can also chose between Wide or Normal mode. With Wide Mode the Inspire button will select loops not only from the same instrument but from a wider instrument group, for example basses, guitars or vocals. This way, an acoustic bass may be replaced by an electric or synth bass.

– Elastik’s central Loopeye forms a detailed loop-editing tool. A large number of parameters can be adjusted, including volume and pan, reverse, formant, filter and resample. Each parameter can be altered on a per-slice basis.

Elastik’s key Features include
+ innovative Loopeye functions
+ Retune: polyphonic scale and key shifting
+ timestretch and pitchshift in best quality
+ fast browser features (multiple filter search, tagging)
+ prelisten in BPM, key and scale sync
+ sequence mode (loads of editing features per slice)
+ random sound replacement via Inspire
+ parameter automation
+ realtime sync to host
+ multiple outs
+ bounce of original and modified loops
+ resizable window format
+ multiple soundbank management.
