Spatializer vs TAIP

Spatializer is a great choice if you want to widen your sounds but need to avoid: • phase smearing in the mono mix • phasing / comb filter effects (from asymmetric channel delays) • or any changes to the mid channel or mono mix The plugin's main focus is to enhance sounds that have little or no side channel information, where traditional widening approaches like mid-side processing can't be effectively used. It also offers more flexibility in case of mixed inputs, widening narrow components without boosting already existing stereo width to extreme levels that would drown out the mid channel, leading to stereo image problems. Spatializer can also be combined with other effects, for example it's excellent for augmenting large-scale reverbs by enhancing the more immediate space or effectively moving the listener closer to the virtual sound source. At large timescales, the plugin takes on some of the qualities of a reverb itself, while keeping the mid channel sharp and free of any reflections. This could either be used as a special effect in and of itself (depending on the transient characteristics of the input), or be blended together with traditional ambience or acoustic space simulation effects. FEATURES: • Synthesis of side channel information where there was none (stereoization of mono sources) • Linear phase mid channel • Capability to deliver both a neutral / transparent response as well as stronger effects • Built-in multiband transient shapers for delivering a more focused response by suppressing outlier reflections • Multiple visualization options: Directional RMS distribution, position and motion • Effects can range from close-proximity / spatial audio effects to larger acoustic space reflections • Baseline frequency response is optimized to maximize flatness, balancing the spectral density of Left, Right, Side channels The built-in selection of subtly tuned presets and the combined psychoacoustic properties of the above features give more leeway to easily experiment with kinds of source material that have traditionally presented difficulties, like tracks with prominent LF content. Due to its ability to provide transparent, subtle and high-clarity responses, as well as good spectral density characteristics, Spatializer can also be included in master bus effects chains. In multi-track setups it can be used in parallel with other positioning methods to bring more variation to the sound stage or to provide additional ways to adjust the mix.

Warm up your sound TAIP brings the true sound and behavior of analog tape to iOS with the power of AI. Use it to add organic saturation and life to any source that needs a little extra spark. About TAIP TAIP offers a faithful, AI-based emulation of a beloved vintage tape machine from the early 70s. You’ll get the same harmonic richness and nonlinear magic as the classic hardware with features that take you beyond the limits of the original. TAIP’s unique approach to emulation uses a neural network in place of traditional DSP techniques to accurately decipher the magic characteristics of tape. The result is a happy marriage between classic sound and modern versatility. And we encourage you to drive it hard! TAIP Features: - Drive: TAIP’s most important parameter - add a subtle touch of warmth or extreme saturation (or anything in between). - Mix: Add tape saturation in parallel with the dry signal. Or combine the “Wear” and “Mix” parameters to create tape flanging. - Model: ”Single” brings you one tape emulation, while “Dual” combines two tape machines in a series under the hood. - Lo / Hi-Shape: Saturates the low/high end more or less than the rest of the frequency spectrum. - Glue: Exaggerates the compression effect that naturally occurs in tape recordings. - Noise: Adds more tape noise – or removes it entirely. - Presence: Brings back the brightness that gets lost on tape recordings. - Wear: Recreates the instabilities of a worn-out tape machine and subtly alters the tape speed. - Input: Lets you distort the signal more - or less - without affecting the output level. - Auto-Gain: Lets you add more drive while keeping a consistent plugin output.
