Correlometer

Correlometer free correlation-meter by Voxengo

Correlometer is a free correlation meter VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Voxengo. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Correlometer is an analog-style stereo multi-band correlation meter plug-in based on the correlation meter found in the PHA-979 phase-alignment plugin.

Multi-band correlation meter is an advanced way to check for presence of out-of-phase elements in the mix. Broadband correlation metering reports overall phase issues and may misrepresent problems present in select spectral bands, while multi-band correlation meter easily highlights problems present in mid to high frequencies that are not easily heard by ear, but may still reduce clarity of the mix. Another application of multi-band correlation metering is phase- and time-aligning of channels and tracks, especially bass and bass-drum pairs, guitar mic and D.I. source pairs, two-microphone stereo recordings, etc.

Correlometer can display 4 to 64 individual spectral bands, with adjustable band quality factor that controls the degree of band’s selectivity. Averaging time of correlation estimator can be adjusted. Correlometer supports side-chain inputs for easy correlation estimation between separate audio tracks.

Correlometer features:

  • 4 to 64 band correlation meter.
  • Adjustable band quality factor.
  • Adjustable averaging time.
  • Side-chain input.
  • Resizable user interface.
  • All sample rates support.
  • Zero processing latency.
  • User interface color schemes.
  • Retina and HighDPI support.

ComBear

ComBear free compressor by W. A. Production

ComBear is a free compressor VST, VST3, Audio Unit plugin developed by W. A. Production. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

What is ComBear?

ComBear is an EXTREMELY powerful and incredibly dynamic Parallel Compression effect plugin that brings an amazing sound and feel to Drums, Synth, Vocals and anything else you can thank of! This plugin is going to change the game and sound the EDM Industry.

ComBear is packed full with incredible features like; Compress, Mix, Input Gain, Make-Up Gain and Bypass. By adjusting the Compress knob, you increase the Parallel Compression that ComBear adds the the element from value 0 to 100, Bypass ComBear’s effects on an element by flipping the Bypass switch, correct the Make-Up Gain that is altered based on how much Compress you add the the element by adjusting the Make-Up Gain, adjust how much gain comes in from the element by adjusting the Input Gain and finally adjust how much of ComBear you hear on the element with the Mix knob. The Idea behind this plugin was of course Parallel Compression.

The main way ComBear can be used is add the plugin to a certain element then have the ability to compress that element pretty hard, and then mix this harshly compressed element with a duplicate of the element that is not compressed. This tactic brings a bold, delightful and intense sound to any and all elements of the production. ComBear is a must have tool in the production world, and is something any and all producers should look into investing in.

What is Parallel Compression?

In the simplest way, Parallel Compression, also called New York Compression, is a very dynamic range compression technique that is used in sound recording and mixing. Basically, Parallel Compression is a big form of upward compression and is achieved by mixing an unprocessed “dry”, or lightly compressed signal with a heavily compressed version of the same signal. The Compress knob is what will add the Parallel Compression to the element from the value 0 to 100.

Make-Up Gain

Make-Up Gain as a whole is a make up for the gain reduction due to compression. Making sure to adjust the Make-Up Gain will bring the fullness of the compression to the sound. Do be careful not to over use the Make-Up Gain, as you can cause the plugin and the element to clip. Make-Up Gain is an amazing and useful tool inside of ComBear that we know will bring the effected element more power.

Input Gain

Input Gain is a setting that usually allows users to control the gain coming from the original element. Adjusting the Input Gain in ComBear will increase or decrease the amount of gain that comes from the original element into ComBear. If you decrease the amount of gain, then you may need to compensate this with the Make-Up Gain.

Mix

On most if not all plugins in the world, the Mix knob is a very basic feature that allows the user to judge exactly how much of the effect they want to actually be heard. ComBear’s Mix knob does the same thing, but you can also automate it to add some dynamics to the track, like bringing the effected element into the track slowly to bring in intensity.

ComBear is a plugin that will change the EDM scene forever. If you want to jump the to the top of the game, you need to get your hands on this beast. Be like the professionals and make your tracks sound top tier! W. A. Production has strived to make some of the industries highest quality sample packs as well as some of the most amazing and hard hitting plugins. We believe that ComBear is a game changer and can not WAIT for all of you to get your eager hands on this beast.

ClipShifter 2

ClipShifter 2 free limiter | clipper by LVC-Audio

ClipShifter 2 is a free limiter and clipper VST, VST3, Audio Unit, RTAS, AAX plugin developed by LVC-Audio. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

ClipShifter is a wave-shaping clipping-style limiter that provides enough user controls to be useful in all mixing stages. ClipShifter uses a unique threshold control to change the clipping threshold dynamically based on the transient characteristics of the incoming audio. The sonic characteristics of the clipping distortion can be altered from hard, brickwall-style clipping, to softer saturation with compression. Additional parameters allow the user to control the even- and odd-order components of the saturation.

ClipShifter is released as a free and paid plugin. The paid plugin adds oversampling (2, 4, and 8 times) with selectable double processing, mid/side processing, and a 3-way multiband frequency control. The multiband frequency control can be used to apply clipping to certain frequency bands independently, while the free version applies the audio clipping to the entire frequency spectrum.

Major features

Plugin Features::

  • Clipping style limiter: from transparent sounding compression to hard clipping distortion.
  • Initial and End thresholds controls that can dynamically change the clipping level based on the incoming signal.
  • Controls for Clip Shape (hard to soft) and harmonics (even- and odd-order).
  • Visual display of signals using VU-style, PPM-style, and loudness/RMS meters to monitor input and output levels.
  • Scalable waveform history view with click-and-drag editing of clipping thresholds.

Paid Features::

  • Multiband EQ controls: 3-band EQ crossover, with independent processing of each band through the clipping algorithm.
  • Oversamping: 2X, 4X, and 8X internal oversampling to reduce aliasing.
  • Double processing: additional option to process audio an additional time through the clipping algorithm when oversampling is engaged.
  • Mid/Side processing: Selectable control for processing Mid/Side signals independently.

System Requirements and Specifications:

  • Windows: VST, VST3, RTAS, and AAX plugin formats. Limited-MAX requires Windows XP SP 3 or newer with a processor that supports SSE2 (AMD or Intel processor from around 2004 or later). An iLok device is required to use the AAX format.
  • OS X: AU, VST, VST3, RTAS, and AAX plugin formats. Limited-MAX requires OS X 10.5 or later, and an Intel processor. An iLok device is required to use the AAX format.

ClipShifter can be purchased for $24.95 USD. For more information or to download the free/demo version, visit LVC-Audio.

T-RackS Classic Equalizer consists of a high quality six-band parametric EQ, specially designed to achieve high-end performance in a mastering environment. The T-RackS Classic Equalizer consists of a high quality six-band parametric EQ, specially designed to achieve high-end performance in a mastering environment. The design of this parametric EQ filter bands allows to perform broad EQing such as giving “air” to the high end, “fullness” to the low end or “focus” to the midrange of a mix with a nice and smooth result for creative and musical applications; when needed though, given its flexibility, this processor can be used very effectively to perform very precise interventions; considering the sharpness its peaking bands can reach, it makes it easy to remove a troublesome frequency without touching the rest of the spectrum.

Classic T-RackS Equalizer can now be used in Stereo or MS modes.

The equalizer comprises the following bands:

  • 4th order High-pass filter, from 16 Hz to 5.3 kHz.
  • Low shelving type filter, from 30 Hz to 200 Hz.
  • Low-mid peaking type filter, from 33 Hz to 5.4 kHz, variable Q.
  • High-mid peaking type filter, from 200 Hz to 17.5 kHz, variable Q.
