Harrison Mastering EQ

Post by bayswater »

$9 for a few days. I haven't heard it, but assuming it has the usual Harrison "character", it could b useful in some cases. All the usual formats.

Its way cool I got it a while back and works well and sounds great. I have a few of their other plugins which sound great but be forewarned the meters of the Muiltiband Compressor generate garbage automation data in DP (if automation record is enabled). I forget the process (because its too annoying to bother with so I stopped using it) but you have to tell DP to ignore that data for each track its used in so it doesn't get written.

BOZ Pan Knob $19; Claps, Stomps & Snaps

Post by mikehalloran »

Here is a Pan knob plugin with a variable crossover — frequencies below stay centered — and adjustable center level. On sale for $19. There are times when this was exactly what I was looking for.
https://www.bozdigitallabs.com/plugins/

After I purchased and installed, I had to reboot my Mac before they would show up in DP. I had to type in the serial#—DP wouldn't let me paste. I'll live.

Claps, Stomps & Snaps includes three VIs, El Clappo, Das Boot and Le Snippett for $79.95. If I were to imagine the best hand clap VI, it would be a large assortment of samples over a MIDI keyboard. That's El Clappo. The other two are finger snaps and foot stomps. Only downside is that it requires Kontakt.

Interestingly, when I bought Pan Knob and logged back into my account, it showed Claps, Stomps & Snaps at a better sale price. I don't know if it's a secret sale or reflects the fact that I bought it pre-release late in 2020. If you do buy Pan Knob, log back in and see what the price is now — I don't want to get anyone's hopes up if it's just a web site mistake.

They have some freebies, too.

Rigid Audio Stombox (for Kontakt 6)

Post by stubbsonic »

Rigid Audio sells these decent libraries. Throughout July, they are selling things for up to 95% off, every 72 hours.

Today I checked out their Stompbox, which I assumed was about "pedal effects", but it is actually an interesting percussion/fx library for Kontakt. The demo sounded pretty nice and versatile, so I bought for their absurdly low sale price of $3.48 It does require a full version of Kontakt 6.4.2 to fly.

I got their email about this one. I’m a sucker for reverb plugs and considering the price and with your recommendation I just grabbed it. Nice!

PSP FETPressor

Post by bayswater »

This is on sale until tomorrow for $29. I've stopped buying most effects plugins because I have dozens of every effect and don't use most of them. But I like and use PSP stuff and wonder if anyone has used this to their benefit. Does it do things the Masterworks FET 76 won't?

AudioDeluxe has the bundle on sale for $29, not quite the price I paid pre-release but sure beats $80. The individual modules are on sale for $15. I've used El Clappo to enhance a couple of choir tracks lately (Thank you, J…). Without naming names, I'll just say that some denominations benefit more than others.

Since I've purchased it, I have no idea the current price on Pan Knob that I posted earlier. Lovin' it.
Here is a panning plugin with a variable crossover — frequencies below stay centered — and adjustable center level.

Some prices change for the better after I log into my user account. You might want to create one first in case the bundle is priced any better once you log in.

Thanks for the heads-up on this, Mike! I was looking for something like this recently. I just bought the package and they run as independent plugins, not Kontakt instruments.

Just picked up the claps/stomps/snaps, then got inspired and got the panner, too. Total was under $60. Thanks for the reminder Mike!

Let us know how you like the Panner plug. I was looking at that as well. It seems to be more headphone focused, so I didn't go ahead and get it this time.

The panner looks like a great way to keep low end information (which is perceived as non-localized by listeners) from straying from center, so should contribute to solid bottom end in mixes. Also, variable Pan Law, which may come in handy as I always strive for Mono/Stereo compatibility.

You're right. Not sure how that stayed in there.

There are times when you want to pan a signal leaving the low frequencies centered in the mix and this just does it. What surprised me is that I have found it useful on some of my virtual choir tracks. I like my basses panned L but some anthems get way down there. Since we're not in a room, using the Pan Knob lets me get a more natural sound by leaving the lowest frequencies in the middle. Reverb doesn't quite get it there.

Thanks for the heads-up. I own a few of their plugs outright and have others on subscription. Big fan of bx_limiter True Peak among others.
