Free Plugin UltraChannel by Eventide until July 8

Free Plugin UltraChannel by Eventide until July 8

This is an Exceptional opportunity limited to the 8 of July, an amazing versatile plugin that you can use in a channel strip or side chain.

UltraChannel™ is Eventide’s new 64-bit native channel strip plug-in for AU, VST, and AAX64 for Mac and PC featuring micro pitch functionality from our flagship H8000, stereo delays with variable feedback paths, plus two stages of compression, gating, and five bands of parametric EQ. UltraChannel is available as a free download through midnight July 8, 2014, after which it will cost $249.
UltraChannel features a pair of dynamics processors: the O-Pressor™, capable of extreme compression (this is the compressor section of the Omnipressor®) and a conventional compressor with de-essing and side-chain capability.

UltraChannel™ also offers Soft-Saturation, and Transformer emulation which recreates transformer core saturation. This feature adds harmonics to low frequency material while remaining relatively transparent to the rest of signal. While relatively subtle, in aggregate, Transformer can bring life to otherwise dull mixes and help glue disparate sound sources together.

 

 

FlexiPath™ routing allows drag and drop for reordering the signal path of the top level components (O-Pressor, compressor/de-esser, EQ, Gate).

UltraChannel includes a variety of factory presets tailored to signal sources such as guitar, bass, kick drum, snare, piano, strings, synths and vocals. A number of the presets were created by Eventide artists.

UltraChannel does not require you to own or use an iLok dongle, but the iLok License Manager and an ilok.com account are required to use the plugin. An ilok.com account can be created either at ilok.com or within the iLok License Manager application. Please download and install this software if it is not already installed on your computer.

REVIEW TDR FEEDBACK COMPRESSOR II by TOKIO DAWN RECORDS

Hi everyone, I just wanted to write a short post of an amazing free plugin I discovered yesterday,I was watching a Logic Pro X video tutorial in youtube about mixing, and I saw that the guy was using this amazing vst pluging compressor, so I went to try to find information on the web. My surprise was when I found out that is FREE, powerful and available for MAC and Windows.

About TDR FEEDBACK COMPRESSOR II:

The TDR Feedback Compressor II is a major design update of its critically acclaimed predecessor. The compressor is dedicated to compressing the highest fidelity stereo program (2-buss), but equally shines in classic mixing tasks.

Most modern compressors analyze the input signal to control gain reduction, using a “feed-forward” topology. TDR Feedback Compressor II, however, analyzes the output. This approach delivers an unobtrusive and highly musical compression characteristic.

TDR Feedback Compressor II takes this traditional compression topology to new heights with a highly flexible, yet intuitive control scheme. The compressor has been carefully tuned for intuitive and musical operation for almost every situation.

We want to emphasize the fact that the processor neither tries to emulate any previously available device, nor does it follow popular trends like “virtual analogue”, “circuit modeling” or similar buzz words. This is a proud digital processor, made with an immense amount of love and care.

Notable features:
-Beautiful “Feed-Back Compression” sound and behavior
-64bit floating point precision for all relevant calculations
-Multi-rate processing structure for highest accuracy, critical operations run up to 8 times the audio rate
-Delta oversampled signal path (bit transparent at 0dB gain reduction)
-Three side-chain filter slopes: 3dB/Oct, 6dB/Oct and 12dB/Oct
-Super fast and natural sounding compression
-Unique control scheme with independent release controls for peak and RMS events, as well as a compression Crest Factor control
-Advanced stereo linking options optimized for the stereo bus
-Delta preview mode to preview the difference between compressed and original signal
-Latency compensated parallel bypass (i.e. processing not interrupted)

What they say:

Features detailed control of compression behaviour, extremely low distortion and almost ‘invisible’ compression

Bootsie

Offers a wide array of controls to dial the sound in just right and leaves you with the original sound, only louder.

Lean Audio (A+ rating)

A highly competent compressor plugin that can stand proudly head to head with its paid alternatives

This thing might be the best compressor I have, even better than my Slate Virtual Buss Compressors, Vintage Warmer and Kush UBK-1. It’s absurdly good on the mixbuss, and has the kind of weight only hardware typically has

Dave Edwards

TDR Feedback Compressor II is among the best software compressors for bus use out there.

Nebula 3, free vst plugins download

Nebula3 Free is a fully functional, feature-limited version of Nebula3 Pro.

Nebula emulates the character and personality of analog hardware with exacting accuracy. Whether it is high end outboard equalizers, classic compressors, the latest reverbs, or vintage time-variant effects like phasers and flangers, Nebula has them all. With a large library of free included presets, you’ll be adding the warmth of analog to your digital mixes in no time at all.

Nebula is a VST multieffect plug-in that is able to emulate and replicate several types of expensive audio equipment, eliminating the need for costly and bulky hardware. Nebula uses libraries which are created using a sophisticated “sampling approach” making it possible to “record” aspects of the sound of audio devices and play them back. Our sampling process results in highly realistic, complex emulations of many types of audio processing devices that can then be used to process any audio signal digitally, all within a VST plug-in that is compatible with all major DAWs and editing software.
