VST Connect Performer vs GSDSP MagicBlur

VST Connect Performer for iPad offers absolute freedom when it comes to remote recording collaborations with producers and musicians. Connect your iPad to the Web, hook up your mic or instrument and allow any studio running Cubase and Nuendo with the VST Connect plug-in record your performance in real time, no matter where you are! And it just gets better: with VST Connect Pro on the host machine VST Connect Performer for iPad excels in audio quality as well as providing multi-channel and LAN support. And with onboard cue mix capability for talkback and monitoring, it’s just like in a typical recording studio environment, but that’s probably as representative as it’ll get: you could be anywhere besides the studio! System requirements VST Connect Performer for iPad requires VST Connect SE 4 or VST Connect Pro 4 as a counterpart. VST Connect SE 4 is included in Cubase Pro 10. For earlier Cubase versions, please go to the VST Connect website and download the appropriate update.

Turn any sound into lush pads, frozen textures, or drifting spectral motion with this multi-curve spectral blur and freeze effect. Frequency-Dependent Blur MagicBlur is a multi-curve spectral blur and freeze processor designed for transforming audio into pads, overtone glissandi, reversed textures, and glitch-like movements. Apply separate blur times per frequency or frequency range, then mix, modulate, and spread them to explore anything from subtle, washed-out ambience to extreme spectral experimentation. How Spectral Blur Works Incoming audio is analyzed into fast-moving spectral frames, each representing the frequency content of a small slice of sound. Instead of playing every frame in sequence, MagicBlur lets you pick frames at defined intervals and morph smoothly toward the next one. The Blur Time sets how gradually frequencies transition — and because MagicBlur supports independent blur times per frequency, you can shape different parts of the spectrum with fine-grained control. Freeze, Reverse & Transform Disable morphing to create a spectral freeze, holding each frame until the next is selected. Reverse the morph direction, apply envelopes, or shift pitch to create evolving drones and unique spectral transitions. Combined with MagicBlur’s modulation system, these tools unlock a wide range of expressive and experimental sound design possibilities. MagicBlur is an AUv3 audio effect plugin compatible with Logic Pro, AUM, Cubasis, GarageBand and many more. A Desktop version is also available for Windows and macOS (VST3 / AU / AAX).
