TransGainer from Voxengo
Voxengo has released TransGainer — an audio plug-in suitable for a wide range of professional music production uses. TransGainer implements audio signal envelope adjustment algorithm that reacts on transients rather than on signal’s loudness level. This algorithm allows you to adjust volume of attack and sustain stages of any sounds you use it on. TransGainer was designed in a way to be suitable for all possible sound sources — be it individual tracks or full mixes.
Features :
• Transient stage loudness adjustments
• Sustain stage loudness adjustments
• Transient-to-transient time control
• Multi-channel processing
• Internal channel routing
• Channel grouping
• Mid/side processing
• Up to 8x oversampling
• 64-bit floating point processing
• Preset manager
• Undo/redo history
• A/B comparisons
• Contextual hint messages
TransGainer is available for both Mac (VST, AU) and PC (VST).
Free plug-ins from Lower Rythm and new free Reason Refills
The Lower Rhythm has announced the release of Signals, a synthesizer plug-in for Windows.
Intended to create incredibly intricate and lush pad sounds, Signals utilizes four oscillators (each with their own signal path) in conjunction with two powerful LFOs (32 possible destinations each, 5 waveforms) and an LFO-modulated global delay. Each oscillator has its own waveform selector (5 shapes), tuning control, lowpass filter, bit crusher and volume envelope.
Signals features
- Four independent oscillator channels w/coarse tuning.
- Bit crusher.
- Lowpass filter.
- Volume envelope.
- Two LFO’s with 32 output destinations each.
- LFO-modulated delay channel.
However The Lower Rythm has also released several nice totally free effect and generator plug-ins that can be downloaded at Stereoklang >>
and
Stereoklang has also uploaded 12 more Reason Refills (the 20081211-folder) here >>
Enjoy

We like >> Universal Audio Fatso & EMT 250 for UAD2
| A really good emulation of the Fatso | |
|
Universal Audio have scored a first for their UAD2 DSP system, with the only official emulation of Empirical Labs Fatso Jr. tape simulator and compressor. Fatso is designed to give users the “wonderfully warm and pleasing sound of magnetic recording tape, class-A transformers, and tube circuits,” and will be of use to anyone who wants to achieve the sound of classic analogue outboard in their DAW software. The plug-in version has been created with the help of Empirical Labs’ designer Dave Derr, who has also assisted Universal Audio in emulating his previously unavailable concept version of the hardware Fatso Jr, known as the Fatso Sr., which comes bundled in the software package.
 The original Fatso Jr. hardware includes controls for harmonic generation and soft clipping, high-frequency saturation, transformer and tape-head emulation, and soft-knee compression, all of which are faithfully modelled in the plug-in release. With Universal Audio’s excellent track record of emulating high-end hardware, UAD2 users are likely to be in for an exclusive treat with Fatso. Universal Audio have also introduced an emulation of the EMT 250 digital reverb for their UAD2 platform. In true UA style, they’ve sourced a ‘golden unit’ from Ocean Way studios and modelled every nuance to create an emulation that EMT have endorsed. Published originally by SOS

- Synthesizer
Glass Viper is a synthesizer with unique waveform shaping, that has a deep and natural sense of movement. Going beyond analogue simulation, into a truly organic sound, from simple old synths to grungy filthy basses, or delicate pianos to strange unnatural film effects.
Instead of taking a sample or oscillator and applying just filters and FX techniques, Glass Viper bends the actual shape of its waveforms through a series of moving control points. Up to four of these swirling and changing sounds can be layered together to create a huge range of instruments. Glass Viper allows you to really shake things up with a deep, natural sense of movement.
| What’s new in this version | |
|
|
- * Preset saving errors in Garage Band, fixed.
* Pitch LFO small range problems, fixed.
* Minor memory freeing issues on exit, cleaned up.

Rob is back with a new great plug-in
This is what you cn read about the new reverb effect
Reverb is a very critical effect when mixing. A bad sounding reverb can ruin the mix of your music! Today’s powerful computers makes it possible to run far more complex algorithms then in the past. But still… it is down to the algorithms if a reverb sounds great or terrible.
As a young synth player, Rob became obsessed with rooms and reverbs. Together with Jon Ayres, Rob Papen has dived into codes and searched for new directions.. new algorithms. After long testing and tweaking, the result is an unique sounding reverb plugin, the reverb you have been waiting for for year to have available in your setup.
The first respond of pro users like Arman van Buuren were comments like “Wow” or “Amazing!”….
The “main focus” of the RP-VERB plug is its sound. So the controls are “exactly” the ones you need!
Easy to use “space types” are included, each of them have their own character. Long tail reverbs… or unheard of rooms are possible. Just like the RP synthesizers….it is purely made for audio quality, performance and making music. Mix with RP-Verb and you will discover its amazing sound.
