Waves IDX Intelligent Dynamics: A Compressor That Thinks For You
Waves is giving away the IDX Intelligent Dynamics plug-in during the Black Friday weekend, which is specially designed to process dynamics and presence with better clarity. The plug-in specifically analyzes and processes dynamic elements of audio tracks to emphasize transients, define frequencies and improve the overall effect of a track. It works with multiple detectors that analyze different frequency ranges and adjusts the dynamics accordingly without depth or adding unwanted “harshness” to the sound.
Thanks to innovative processing technology, IDX Intelligent Dynamics works like a precise camera lens, focusing on the essential sound details. It makes vocals stand out more, drums sound crisper, and bass lines more powerful. At the same time, it helps protect your mix from unwanted frequency overlap by clearly defining sonic structures.
The plug-in is especially effective when used at the beginning of an effects chain. IDX lays a solid foundation on both the individual tracks and the master bus upon which the rest of the mix can be built. This approach not only saves time, but also produces professional results.
Waves is offering the IDX Intelligent Dynamics plugin for free this Black Friday weekend – just enter your email address to receive a download link. This is a great opportunity to get a tool that will help both experienced mixing professionals and ambitious beginners. IDX not only makes mixing more efficient, it also makes it more precise. Thank you, Waves!
Waves IDX Intelligent Dynamics is available for MacOS 12 or higher and Windows 10 or higher in VST3, AU and AAX formats in 64-bit. After the Black Friday weekend, the price will be $79.00.
Air Music Tech Multiband Filterbank: The Creative 3-Band Filter
Multiband Filterbank is a new plugin from AIR Music Tech that can also be downloaded as freeware during the Black Friday weekend as-well. Available for MacOS, Windows and MPC standalone, this versatile filter plug-in is a creative tool for sound processing. Inspired by classic hardware filters, it combines vintage-inspired design with modern multi-band processing. The plug-in processes audio signals in three separate bands: low, mid, and high, allowing for precise sound design.
Each band has five different filter types: low-pass, band-pass, high-pass, notch, and peak. These can be customized with access to cutoff and resonance parameters. In addition, each band offers the option of adding a pre-drive, which greatly expands the sonic design possibilities. What’s most interesting is that all of these features are available in each of the three bands, allowing for exceptionally versatile sonic results.
The modulation capabilities of the AIR Multiband Filterbank can give you a creative boost. Each band has its own envelope follower with adjustable parameters such as rise, fall, gain and amount. This allows you to precisely match the modulation to the filter settings. Three preset behaviors – low follow, mid follow and high follow – allow you to further adjust the dynamics of the envelope follower.
Another highlight is the plug-in’s intuitive user interface. The crossfade function allows for seamless transitions between bands, while a live spectrum display provides visual control of the audio signal. An output level control and a solo function per band round out the features. The plug-in also includes an extensive selection of factory presets to get you started quickly. For those looking for high-quality audio tools during the Black Friday deals, this plugin is a valuable addition.
Air Music Tech Multiband Filterbank is available as freeware for MacOS 13 or later and Windows 10 or later, standalone and in AU, AAX, VST and VST3 formats during the Black Friday weekend. It runs on MPC standalone systems with version 2.15.1 and higher. After December 2, the price will be $99.00.
Newfangled Audio Obliterate: A Versatile Distortion Filter Plugin
Newfangled Audio presents Obliterate, a free plug-in that combines filtering and distortion in an unusual and drastic way. This effect tool differs from conventional plug-ins in that it not only offers signal optimization, but also integrates the “destruction” of sound as a creative tool. The mix of resonant filters and aggressive distortion creates unique soundscapes that range from subtle to extreme.
The plug-in is based on two resonant multimode filters that seamlessly morph between low pass, high pass, band pass, all pass and notch. An intuitive X/Y pad control allows precise adjustment of the filter characteristics. The visual display allows direct adjustment of the cutoff and resonance parameters. This flexibility makes Obliterate particularly interesting for experimental sound design.
At the very core of Obliterate is a choice of two digital distortion algorithms: “too much” and “too most”. These destructive modes create a sonic spectrum ranging from subtle enrichment to chaotic noise. The unconventional distortion provides an aggressive, characterful sonic experience that is perfect for creating extreme effects.
Obliterate’s origin story is as remarkable as the plug-in itself. Originally conceived as a simple filter, an undiscovered bug in the code turned it into a whole new class of effects. Instead of fixing the bug, Newfangled Audio allowed it to persist and evolve, eventually resulting in the unique functionality of Obliterate.
For those looking to add a raw, untamed edge to their sounds, Obliterate is an exciting addition to your effects arsenal. Newfangled Audio is making the plug-in available for free as part of their Black Friday deals (and apparently beyond!), giving everyone access to this innovative tool. Very slick!
Newfangled Audio Obliterate is available for MacOS 10.14 or later and Windows 10 or later in VST, VST3, AAX and AU formats in 64-bit.
