Visual Multi vs DelayJaVu

This is an AUv3 compatible visual effect plugin which is intended for use inside your favourite DAW such as Cubasis, Auria, Meteor, AUM etc. It will not function as a standalone app. Visual Compressor is a 4 band compressor/expander which has the ability to analyse audio in real time giving an accurate and reliable spectrum representation of your signal as well as visual feedback of compression or expansion levels. It's uses range from final mastering of songs to dynamic manipulation and EQing of drum tracks. What makes this different from a normal compressor is the ability to compress or expand frequency ranges rather than the whole mix, with up to 4 bands available. This allows you to say tighten up a wayward snare drum while adding that extra punch to the bass drum while leaving the rest of the track intact. Each of the 4 configurable frequency bands can be modified using drag and drop operations directly on the graph making it easy to understand and quick to configure. Turn on the labelling option for colour coded details. Each band can function as an EQ allowing raising and lowering the bands gain by +/-24dB. You can assign either a compressor or expander to each of the bands. The compressor allows you to compress excessively loud sounds that exceed a specified threshold. Each band has configurable attack, release and ratio settings. The expander can be used to expand sound exceeding the threshold while compressing anything below it. This makes it useful for adding dynamics or even for noise reduction of a specific band. Each band has mute and solo buttons so you can audition what is coming through a certain band, great for use during band frequency setup. There is also a bypass option which removes a band from use and reduces CPU load. You can load and save custom presets as well as copy and paste settngs between instances. This is great if you need to setup multiple instances with the same settings. One of the cool features is the ability to save up to 3 mixes and switch between them for comparision. These mixes are actually saved as part of custom presets and as the saved state in your DAW. This is the third of three products which will make up part of the 'visual' range of effects. Main Features: ○ 4 distinct frequency bands. ○ Assignable Compressor or Expander. ○ +/-24dB gain per band. ○ Assignable Q to control precise crossovers. ○ Spectrum Analyser with 'Pre' and 'Post' monitoring. ○ Vertical shift and scale options for the spectrum. ○ Mute and Solo buttons for each band. ○ Save & Compare up to 3 separate mixes. ○ Bypass option to remove a band and reduce CPU load. ○ Create and save custom presets. ○ Copy / Paste presets between instances. ○ Compressor / Limiter with Auto Makup Gain. ○ Twin VU meters with RMS/Peak display as well as peak and gate lights per band. ○ Brick wall limiter. ○ Quick Reset options for each section of the effect.

DelayJaVu - Stereo Reverse Delay (AUv3) DelayJaVu is an audio effect plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host application such as Logic Pro or GarageBand. Overview Deja Vu - French for "already seen". The brief, intense and often startling sensation that a current, new experience has happened before. DelayJaVu is a stereo reverse delay with independent delay times for the left and right channels. DelayJaVu works by capturing your dry signal in a delay buffer, which is then read backwards over a time period corresponding to a delay time. As the virtual delay head repeatedly scans back through the delay buffer, you hear segments your original dry signal, repeated in reverse. I think reverse delay is a really cool effect - one of my favourites in fact! I especially like its slightly unpredictable nature, making it a great effect to interact with, as you play. I don't recall seeing any reverse delay plugins with independent times for the left and right channels so that may be something unique that DelayJaVu has to offer. And the addition of modulation and variable stereo spread adds further creative options, while keeping DelayJaVu compact, super easy to use and very DSP-friendly. Controls Mode - Off bypasses the effect and uses a "soft switching" aka "trails mode", to avoid pops and clicks. In L/R Lock mode, the delay time is set to be the same for the left and right channel, and the parameter sliders will be "locked" to the same value when changed. In L/R Free mode, you can set independent delay times for the left and right channel. Time L / R - Sets the delay time for the left and right channels independently, from 250ms to 2.5 seconds. Interesting effects can be achieved by setting the delay times to be close, but not exactly the same. Please note - Unlike a "normal" delay where you will hear the sound repeat after the delay time specified, DelayJaVu doesn't quite work like that. The delay heads for both channels are always in motion and repeat their cycles according to the delay time. This means that sometimes the delay head will be "closer" to the incoming audio. In this case you may hear the first repeat almost straight away, with subsequent repeats occurring at delay time intervals when the Feedback is > 0%. This is especially noticeable (and cool!) when running in Free mode with different delay times. This is also the way many reverse delays are implemented and why this particular design doesn't lend itself to tempo sync delay effects as the repeats will not "quantise" to note length boundaries. Feedback - Sets the feedback / regeneration for the delay on both channels. Mod - Adds a variable amount of modulation to both channels. As each channel is modulated differently, this can produce a nice stereo effect. Spread - At maximum, the left and right delay channels are hard-panned and have their own independent modulation applied. Decreasing the Spread parameter effectively narrows the stereo image of the delay and modulation all the way down to mono. Mix - The mix control goes from 100% dry to 100% wet. At the centre 50% position, the dry and wet signals are evenly balanced. At 100%, you only hear the wet / processed signal.
