A1StereoControl

A1StereoControl free stereo-imaging by Alex Hilton / A1AUDIO

A1StereoControl is a free stereo imaging VST, Audio Unit, RTAS, AAX plugin developed by Alex Hilton / A1AUDIO. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

A1StereoControl is a plugin to expand or limit the ‘stereo width’ or your tracks. It can be used on single or group tracks and is also usable in final mastering situations.

The integrated ‘Safe Bass‘ algorithm centers all bass frequencies below a adjustable value right back into the middle of the stereo field. This gives your tracks the solidity and definition you want while preserving maximum transpancy and sharpness. Similar techniques were used by professional studio producers over ages with either expansive hardware devices like elliptical equalizers or even advanced m/s-processors. With this plugin you will be able to manage this complicated task with a minimum effort.

Additionally A1StereoControl brings you the possibility to place your stereo signal inside the stereo field in a very intuitive way. Our expert mode features different ‘pan laws’ (0db, -3db, -6db), different pan curves (linear, logarithmic, sin/cos) as well as classic ‘balance’ mode or ‘dual panning’.

Features:

  • FREE.
  • VST / AU / RTAS / AAX for MAC & PC (32 / 64-bit).
  • Expand or limit stereo wideness (from 0% to 200%).
  • ‘SAFE BASS’ algorithm centers all bass frequencies (BASS gets MONO).
  • linear phase (important for mastering).
  • RESIZABLE GUI (fully vector-based, nice on ‘retina’ displays or even very small ones).
  • no latency.
  • ‘Phase Flip’ (flips the whole input signal 180°).
  • ‘Swap L-R’ (swaps left and right input channel).
  • ‘Mono’ turns the input signal to mono, but panning is still possible.
  • all parameters automatable.
  • all parameters fully undoable (undo / redo).
  • /- 12 dB input and output gain.

4U+ DynamicTiltEQ

ZynAddSubFX free software-synthesizer by paulnasca 3

4U+ DynamicTiltEQ is a free equalizer VST, VST3, Audio Unit, RTAS, AAX plugin developed by HOFA-Plugins. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

HOFA 4U+ DynamicTiltEQ is the only available freeware Tilt EQ. It can do everything the legendary analogue models could:
Use just one knob for the perfect balancing of low and high frequencies on the highest audio level.

This alone is a fantastic feature, but (of course) was not enough to suit our idea. We brainstormed about the setup of the best Tilt EQ of all times and came up with a list that leaves no wish unfulfilled. The freeware includes:

  • gain/cut up to 24 dB.
  • variable tilt width for transparent adjustments as well as musical sound shaping.
  • splittable bass and treble tilt.
  • low and highcut filter (6 & 12 dB/octave).
  • individual routing for stereo, mid, side left and right processing.
  • up to 32x oversampling.
  • support for Mac and PC, 32- and 64-bit DAWs.

It’s extremely rewarding to activate the dynamics for the low and high range and the integrated analyzer for very little money. In combination with parallel processing and a dry/wet control this makes for fascinating creative possibilities.

Despite all these extras, 4U+ DynamicTiltEQ is a simple, self-explaining sound shaper – so just install it, start to work and enjoy the good sound.

HOFA 4U+ DynamicTiltEQ – The worldwide first dynamic Tilt EQ.

HOFA 4U+ DynamicTiltEQ provides for:

  • sound shaping on the highest level.
  • balanced sounds.
  • less waste of time by its intuitive workflow.
  • analogue feel of handling and sound.
  • new creative means of expression.

2WarpDelay

2WarpDelay free delay | echo by Mutagene

2WarpDelay is a free delay and echo VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Mutagene. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

2WarpDelay pairs two warped-lattice IIR filters with a pair of delay lines and a bitmap which it scans to extract filter coefficients.

A stereo signal is fed through two delay lines followed by a warped IIR lattice filter. The lattice filter can be of any order from 1 to 80 and uses reflection coefficients extracted from an image. This output is fed through a saturation stage and a ducking / limiting stage before being fed back, again, into the delay lines. The lattice filter is warped, and by adjusting the warping parameter its frequency response can be easily adjusted.

Resonance controls the distance between spectral peaks and spectral valleys in the filter transfer function, and cutoff controls the cutoff of a first-order low pass filter that follows the lattice filter.

2BusControl

2BusControl free metering by MAAT

2BusControl is a free metering VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by MAAT. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

As an introduction to everyone in the KVR community, we’re giving away this free and rather useful plug–in. Available for all major plug-in formats, including VST2/VST3 and AAX for MacOS and Windows plus AU for Mac OS, 2BusControl offers five essential options for specialized monitoring modes plus highly responsive and user-friendly metering for left/right balance and correlation.

Solo is available post-metering with a single button push. Traditional left/right soloing (as phantom center) can be chosen, or the equally useful MONO/DIFF (erence) or M/S (Mid/Side) rendering of the soloed signal. In addition, the stereo perspective can be swapped or flipped with the left and right channels changing places. Each solo control is a single button, allowing you to check placement and amplitude easily for all aspects of your mix.

Usable metering is another essential for any engineer, and options are equally practical, with stereo balance and inter-channel correlation occupying the upper half of the user interface. Unlike prior products that provide similar metering functions, 2BusControl’s measurement and display algorithms adhere to our guiding philosophy of enhancing your workflow and improving ergonomics through careful attention to the way you actually work. Ballistics are meticulously tuned to achieve the best match between the aural impression you hear, and the optical rendering by the meters.

All of 2BusControl’s functionality is wrapped in an information-rich yet visually unobtrusive user interface that occupies only a small slice of screen real estate. Likewise, the plug-in is “light weight” demanding a minimum of CPU resources so it won’t slow down your host.

Product Features:

Metering:

  • Left/Right Balance.
  • Left/Right Correlation.

Soloing:

  • Left/Right.
  • MONO/DIFF (Mid/Side).

Channel Swap:

  • Left/Right Flip.
