FAC Clipper vs FakeTake

• Enhances Mix Loudness and Adds Harmonic Warmth • Full-Band and Two-Band Clipper in a Single Plugin • Quick, lightweight, and designed for effortless flexibility! • Precise Visual Metering for Fast Peak Control • Knee Curve Adjustment, from Super Soft to Hard • Shape Control of the Harmonic Profile • Dry/Wet Mix for a Natural, Balanced Sound • Low Latency with Optional Oversampling • Advanced Responsive Design, portrait and landscape views • Universal Purchase: AUv3 for iOS (iPad/iPhone), macOS and Vision Pro FAC Clipper is designed to enhance your mix's loudness and add signature harmonic warmth. While it is based on a similar DSP architecture to the Clip processor in FAC Punchlab, it takes a different approach to clipping control, featuring an advanced user interface with precise metering to track and manage the peaks of the audio signal. The plugin also includes both a full-band clipper that processes the entire spectrum and a multi-band clipper, allowing you to independently clip low, high, or both frequency bands. This provides the flexibility to maintain transparent processing or experiment with creative adjustments, depending on your needs. Built with simplicity and flexibility in mind, FAC Clipper is quick, lightweight, and highly intuitive. The clean, streamlined interface lets you focus on what matters most; controlling the peak levels to maximize loudness while preserving clarity and avoiding the pumping effects often associated with heavily limited signals. Thanks to its precise waveform and level meters, using FAC Clipper is a breeze. Simply add the plugin to your track and adjust the input gain until the waveform meter reaches 0 dB. This gives you a clear view of the signal's dynamic range, making it easier to identify peaks. Next, set the ceiling just below the peaks you wish to control. You can also adjust the Knee parameter for smoother clipping and fine-tune the saturation to achieve the perfect warmth and character. Use the Mix parameter to blend the clipped signal with the original audio, allowing you to control the amount of clipping applied. This helps preserve the natural character of the sound while enhancing loudness and harmonic warmth. This is an AUv3 Effect and requires a compatible host to work The documentation is available at fredantoncorvest.com/FAC_Clipper.html

FakeTake Double Tracker Plugin (AUv3) FakeTake is an audio effect plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host application such as Logic or GarageBand. Overview FakeTake is a tribute to the old "automatic double tracker" studio trick. The idea is that ADT creates the illusion of the same part, overdubbed again (a "fake take") which can work great with many instruments, especially guitar and vocals. There are various approaches for achieving this effect, but most use a short delay, a bit of stereo processing and possibly some modulation applied to the delay. FakeTake uses all three! Parameters Active - Toggles the effect On or Off. Delay - Sets the base delay time of the "fake take". Low settings can be thought of as "tighter", and higher values, "looser", going up to almost a slap-back echo effect. Drift - Varies the amount of delay time modulation. This is applied to the original and processed signal. At zero, no modulation is applied to the dry signal. Spread - Varies the stereo width of the ADT effect. At maximum, the original and delayed signals are panned hard-left and hard-right respectively. At zero, both are dead-centre. Spread can also be used to create space in a mix. For example, apply spread to a guitar track to leave room for vocals in the middle. If the name sounds familiar, FakeTake is an improved and simplified version of the FAKE TAKE ADT module developed for Voltage Modular by Waverley Instruments. Please do take a look at my other AudioUnits on the App Store if you can spare the time. Supporting paid apps allows me to release free ones as a little thankyou from time to time.
