LinComp – Nice new linear phase multiband mastering compressor
DDMF has released LinComp, a new linear phase multiband mastering compressor plug-in for 32- and 64-bit Windows and Mac OS X in VST and AU effect plug-in formats. It costs $29.
LinComp is a linear phase multiband compressor, a tool that belongs in every mastering chain. Multiband compression allows you to take care of the levels and response times of four frequency bands independently, and the linear phase crossover guarantee that all this happens with no damage done to the audio whatsoever.
Independent threshold, attack, release, ratio and gain controls as well as master faders for simultaneous control let you sculpt the dynamics of your tracks in any way imaginable. Select the compression type by switching between hard and soft knee, use LinComp as a brickwall limiter with the built-in clipping function, and do A/B tests to find out the optimal setting.
Simple IDM Track Using Only Audio Damage Plug-Ins
This track, inspired by Autechre’s “Corc” from LP5, is a demonstration of using Audio Damage effects and instruments to create an entire track.

WOK tells us that BassPlus is an enhancer for low frequencies that is intended for drums, but works on other signals too. It’s not a fixed EQ, but has a detector for lower frequencies and enhances them and/or adds a new subtone.
Adjusting the amount of bass frequencies as well as the extra bass volume and frequency is quick and easy, the plugin can even be used in the end mix.
Unlimited, free version. Made with Synthedit 1.1 (no multicore bug).

New distort unit from Rob Papen
Rob Papen has announced RP-Distort, a new effect plug-in for Windows and Mac.
RP-Distort is not just a distortion unit, but much more. The distortion unit inside RP-Distort can be combined with an analog modelled filter, compressor and widener unit.
These units can be re-order, but also can be turned on or off. So in case you only want a great analog modelled filter… RP-Distort can offer this. Or only the unique widener unit which is great for widening a boring mono track.
On top of that, the controls can be modulated using midi sources or by one of the 4 build in LFO’s that can sync to your host tempo..
The distortion unit offers 22 distortion types included ring modulator and lo-fi. Inside this section you can also find the EQ and noise-gate.
RP-Distort is in fact a wicked FX unit that will distort or alter your tracks in an inspirational way.
First plugin especially developed for creating rich motion sounds
Sinevibes has announced Diffusion, a synthesizer instrument plug-in for Mac.
Sinevibes is extremely excited to announce Diffusion, its very first instrument plugin which has been especially developed for creating rich motion sounds. Diffusion’s unique synthesizer engine combines additive oscillators and waveshaping models with an advanced matrix sequencer that allows for over 400 different parameter combinations per step. All this being accessible via an intuitive interface makes Diffusion an extremely capable tool for producing animated synths and basses which have incredible density and character while being clean and warm at the same time.
“To create synth and bass parts required for today’s electronic music styles, producers often need to layer multiple plugins and do a lot of post-processing.” – says Artemiy Pavlov, founder and chief developer at Sinevibes. “With Diffusion alone, they can now create very complex motion instruments with a lot of liveliness and character, enjoying an extremely fun-to-use interface while at it.”
Diffusion features
- Dual monophonic oscillator with 6 additive waveforms and 6 waveshape transformation models.
- Flexible tempo-synchronized sequencer with up to 32 steps, each with individual setting for note switch, waveform, waveshape model, envelope type and modulation depth.
- High-contrast user interface with randomization features.
- Useful collection of preset patches and templates.
Diffusion for Mac (AU) is available to purchase for $59 USD. It requires Mac OS 10.5 or later, and a 32 or 64 bit AudioUnit instrument host application that supports Cocoa user interface technology.

Need more grit and dirt bass synth sounds in your music?
Noisebud needed a bass synth that delivered more grit and dirt and didn’t need hours of twiddling before getting there. They based the sound engine on waveshaping through distortion, bit crush and resonance since their VST fx chains on bass channels almost always contain that sort of plug-ins. The result is an angry old fart named Burt. He can get so angry that his audio buffers overflow and get silent – you have to restart your DAW to cool him down but don’t worry, Burt will start to scream again.
Burt is available for Windows as a VST instrument plug-in. It will be released publicly and free on the first of November, 2011.
