Airwindows AU Plugins & DP

Post by Radiogal »

Anybody tried the AU Airwindows Plugins?
To be found at
http://store.kagi.com/cgi-bin/store.cgi ... EGJ_LIVE&&

They have a great deal of free AU plug ins too. A whole bunch, free to be downloaded.
Reading about them on the page makes u wanna get them instantly.
But some lack of info needs me to ask you guys on the UN first :)

No info about required OSX nor system.
Anyone?

No I haven't tried them, although, at your recommendation I did visit their kagi website. I post this here because I wanted to be directly under you.

I've bought several AirWindows plugins, and have the free ones, too. Not only do I like the plugins, but the developer is very attentive to his customers; good service, in other words.

Hey RG,
I've had the free ones for quite a while.
A couple of things to look out for:

ClassicChannel includes Channel.
Chorus & Flanger won't load if DP's Chorus & Flanger are present because the names are the same.
Changing them doesn't seem to help, so if you must use the plugs you may have to remove DP's equivalents first. :D

If you go over to bigbluelounge and search "airwindows", there are quite a few posts by "chrisj", who's the developer. You'll find a lot of info in those posts, about his philosophy (stripped-down plugs focused on one task each), and more in-depth descriptions of the plugs (important, since there are no demo versions).

I have tried them, but I had an issue with them playing nice with FCP, so I removed them. But that was a while back, so given that FCP has had some updates since then, I might give them a try again.
