Drum Surgeon AUv3 Plugin vs LoFiFx

DrumSurgeon is an AUv3 plugin designed for use in your favourite DAW such as AUM, Logic, Loopy Pro, Cubasis or GarageBand etc. Drum surgeon is a dynamics / transient processor specifically designed for fine tuning your drums. So your drum sounds are lacking punch and lost in the mix? This is where Drum Doctor can really help by allowing you to literally shape and boost your kit to break through the mix safetly and without clipping. The attack or onset of a sound is known as its transient. By controlling the level, shape and duration of these sounds, you change the dynamics of a drum track to achieve that perfect tightness, while boosting them to give your kick the right punch and snare the right amount of bite. Use the saturation to overdrive your mix prior to shaping. This can drastically change the character of some drum sounds at the filtering stage. The single LP/HP filtering knob lets you quickly find the tone that suits combined with the 8 band EQ to define your sound. Finally the intensity knob allows you to control the level of dynamics applied to your mix. Automate this in real time when you want to relax or accentuate your drum track during your song. Features: ○ Supports factory and user presets. ○ Add bite using the Attack & Hold controls. ○ Use the Release to get extra dynamic range. ○ Both Attack and Release can be inverted to transform the dynamics. ○ LP/HP filtering. ○ Saturation control. ○ 8 Band Graphic EQ. ○ Real-time gain display. ○ Intensity control to amplify the effect up to 200%. ○ Limiter/clipper for driving your sound to the max. ○ Auto ranging option for graphing.

Lo-Fi Multi-Effects Plugin (AUv3) LoFiFx is an audio effect plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host application such as Logic or GarageBand. Overview LoFiFx is a collection of effects often used in the production of lo-fi music, although you might find it useful on just about any sound source. LoFiFx works particularly well on sounds that you may feel are a little dry or lifeless, by adding warmth, increased stereo spread and movement, and at times, unpredictable tonal changes. Parameters Active - Toggles the effect On or Off. Crunch - sends a variable amount of gain into a virtual diode-based clipper. Diodes are often used in simple guitar overdrive pedal circuits, and when pushed, produce an unrefined crunchy tone - hence the name. Wobble - applies a randomised rate and depth pitch modulation effect that can sound similar to a faulty tape recorder at higher settings. The LoFiFx wobble effect is different from most tape emulations as the left and right channels wobble independently. Sway - varies the amount of randomised panning. Similar to the Wobble effect, this does not occur at a set rate or depth, so it can be used to add a sense or unpredictable movement in the stereo field. Reverb - adds a bit of vintage-flavoured reverb to the mix. As the parameter is increased past half-way, the size and decay of the reverb also increase. A low-cut filter is also applied to the signal sent to the reverb which helps retain clarity on drum and bass sounds. LPF - sets the frequency of a lowpass / high-cut filter. HPF - sets the frequency of a highpass / low-cut filter. Note that the LPF and HPF frequencies overlap, so at some settings, you might find the overall output is being reduced significantly as the filters are in series. If you want to prevent this, make sure the LPF frequency is higher than the HPF / the HPF frequency is lower than the LPF. Basically what gets through the two filters depends on the size of the gap between the two frequency values so they can be combined to create a simple bandpass filter. LFO - sets the destination of a triangle waveform LFO. In addition to classic LPF / HPF sweeps, assigning the LFO to the Crunch parameter can create an interesting tremolo effect. Rate - sets the rate of the LFO. Depth - sets the depth of the LFO. Drift - introduces a variable amount of rate and depth modulation. Adding drift is a handy way of making the LFO cycle less obvious and predictable. LoFiFx has a built-in clipper at the output stage so can be used as a utility effect to brick-wall limit any incoming signal to 0dB. This isn't going to replace your favourite mastering plugin anytime soon and it gets very crunchy when pushed. If the name sounds familiar, LoFiFx is an original design based on the LOFIFX module developed for Voltage Modular by Waverley Instruments.
