free vst plugin, pc.
This should be used on single, mono tracks, but do NOT place it in the 'insert' section of the track (Cubase) as this will not give you a stereo output. Instead use it in the Mixer.
One common way enhance the stereo image of a track is to do the following:
1. Make two additional copies of the track
2. Delay the copies slightly
3. Pan one of the copies full left and the other full right
4. Make one of the copies out-of-phase so that the effect doesn't sound strange in mono.
If that sounds a bit too much like hard work, then this plugin does it all for you! Try it with overdriven electric guitar to get that 'wall of sound' effect common to tracks by Evanescence etc.. We think you'll be pleased.
Controls:
Delay Time - The amount of delay
Mix - The mix between the original (centre) signal, and the delayed signals
Basslane is a free audio effect for VST compatible hosts. It's a simple, yet very handy little utility to control the stereo field of lower frequencies in your audio material. Allows you to define the processed frequency range while using several monitoring options, and to tweak how much you want it squeezed .
What is this useful for?
• Regain tightness in the bottom of your mix by keeping kick drums and bass lines centered in the stereo field.
• Drum tracks mixed from multiple sources, or processed with delay, reverb etc will often sound "messy" if the kick drum isn't centered. Just drop Basslane on the track.
• Experiment with effects on various tracks without losing definition and focus in the bass region.
Bass manager: This plug-in is designed for use in Cubase SX and Nuendo. It simulates the bass management systems found on most dolby digital and dts surround sound receivers. This allows surround sound engineers to hear what their 5.1 surround mix sounds like without having to burn a CDr or DVDr and then play it through a consumer 5.1 surround receiver.
