Developer Bakuage released three free plug-ins – a compressor, panner, and spectrum analyzer.
BasicComp is a dynamics processor with adjustable knee and four controls – Fixed Volume, Speed, Ratio, and Stereo Expander. It’s designed for mastering and processing vocal or drum tracks.
ITDPanner controls the panning of stereo sound sources without degrading sound quality or channel interference. The plug-in incorporates Interaural Time Difference control, a Balance control, and swapping of input signals.
DRAnalyzer displays real-time spectrum analysis as well as past spectrums as a distribution. It is possible to see the dynamic range of each band, making for great compatibility with multi-band compressors. Furthermore, the spectrum can be corrected according to human hearing, letting you see the sound as it’s heard. Good stuff!
