Sat, 18 May 2013 20:00:00 +0000 Copyright 2002-2013 Aleksey Vaneev en Voxengo SPAN Plus extended spectrum analyzer plugin released http://www.voxengo.com/forum/ar/3228/ http://www.voxengo.com/forum/ar/3228/
SPAN Plus is an extended version of the freeware SPAN plug-in: SPAN Plus provides several additional features such as PNG file export, real-time spectrum import/export and static spectrums display.

Voxengo SPAN Plus 1.0 Screenshot

SPAN Plus provides you with a very flexible “mode” system which you can use to setup your spectrum analyzer preferences.  You may specify Fourier block size in samples, FFT window overlap percentage, spectrum's visual slope.  Beside that you can choose to display secondary spectrum of a desired type (e.g. real-time maximum, all-time maximum).  Spectrum can be smoothed out visually for an easier examination.

SPAN Plus supports multi-channel analysis and can be set to display spectrums from two different channels or channel groups at the same time.  Spectrum's color can be chosen to taste.

SPAN Plus also features output level metering with adjustable ballistics and integration time, K-metering (including calibration K-metering).  SPAN Plus displays level metering statistics, headroom estimation and clipping detection.  Correlation metering is available as well.

SPAN Plus features:

  • Real-time spectrum import/export
  • PNG file export
  • Static spectrums display
  • Output signal power statistics
  • Spectrum smoothing
  • User interface window resizing
  • Clipping statistics

CurveEQ implements spectrum matching technology that allows you to transfer spectrum’s shape of one recording to another.  In other words, this allows you to “copy” frequency balance of existing time-proven mixes so that other mixes that are still in the works may have a chance to sound better.  This technology also greatly helps in music mastering since using it allows you to easily lessen any dramatic differences in the area of frequency balance between various tracks.

CurveEQ features:

  • 3 EQ curves per channel group
  • Linear- and minimum-phase filtering
  • Spectrum matching
  • Freeform EQ curve drawing mode
  • CSV file import/export

Version 1.3 update includes the following changes:

  • The EQ curve is now hidden when the equalizer is set to "Off".
  • A crash when loading some routing presets was fixed.

Drumformer can operate in broadband, 2-band and 3-band modes, with each band having compressor-expander and saturation modules.  The sound of the compressor can be defined as “gluey with a ping”, because it instantly creates a “tight and glued together” sound while masterfully emphasizing the transients.  The saturation module offers you a choice between six saturation modes, each having a smooth sound and differing harmonic content.

Drumformer features:

  • Broadband, 2- and 3-band operation
  • 3-band compressor/expander
  • 3-band saturation module with 6 modes

Shinechilla is mainly usable for solo instrument processing where it literally “shines” by producing convincing and full-bodied harmonic coloration.  Shinechilla is also unique in that it is able to add harmonic coloration on top of the sound instead of distorting the whole sound.  However, the option to saturate the whole sound is also available.

The strength of harmonic coloration added by Shinechilla can be flexibly adjusted over the whole frequency range, for each harmonic.  In overall, Shinechilla is a great tool for contemporary electronic music producers looking for impressive timbres.

  • Spectrum mode presets are now shared between all Voxengo plug-ins.

Voxengo Voxformer 2.8 Screenshot

The coolest feature of Voxformer is its one-knob vocal compressor.  Using only a single knob, you can get a tight, open and definitive professional vocal sound with an excellent articulation in no time.  You do not have to worry about common ratio and make-up gain controls since they are automatically selected by the advanced compression algorithm while attack and release parameters are stored in a mode preset.  Moreover, Voxformer features two compressors of this type, allowing you to apply either a two-band or a two-stage (serial) vocal compression.

http://www.voxengo.com/group-buys/

On this page you can participate in Voxengo product group buys.

Before a group buy for a given Voxengo product is initiated it should first collect a certain number of initial votes in the recent 20-day period, so for a group buy to be initiated there should be a high level of public interest available.  The initiated group buy then lasts 15 days or until it reaches the maximal 50% discount.  Each initiated group buy guarantees at least 10% discount upon its finish.  You can recall your current vote at any time.  Your vote does not construe obligation to purchase the product.

Voxengo group buys are fully automated and their outcome solely depends on its participants' social activity.  The more votes a group buy collects the higher discount is reached during the 15-day voting period.  So, if you are in, it is advised that you also invite your colleagues and friends via e-mails, forums, social networks, etc.

Once a group buy finishes, a special discount will be offered to all purchasers of the product during the 7-day period following group buy's finish date.  Group buy's start and finish conditions are checked once a day.

Note that voting requirements and discount parameters may change in the future, but for newly-started group buys only. ]]> Sun, 14 Oct 2012 20:00:00 +0000 Voxengo Deft Compressor 1.4 track and bus compressor plugin released http://www.voxengo.com/forum/ar/3136/ http://www.voxengo.com/forum/ar/3136/
Note that on Mac, Deft Compressor now supports Mac OS X v10.5 and higher only, running on Intel processors.  Mac PowerPC support is not available.

Version 1.4 includes the following changes:

  • Key signal gain parameter added.
  • Plug-in's popup-windows now recover last position after reopening.
  • Mouse backward and forward buttons can be used for parameter value selection.
  • The "Min Infrastructure" user interface display mode added.
  • The "Flat Level Meters" level meter display mode added.
  • Version change history information window added.
  • The input level meter can be dragged now for threshold adjustment.
  • Native 64-bit AudioUnit and VST support on Mac OS X added.
  • Fixed user interface freezing on Mac OS X 10.8.

Voxengo Deft Compressor 1.4 Screenshot

The characteristic feature of this compressor is its ability to produce “slim” and “slick” sounding compression, with intelligibility enhancement effect.  Such result is achieved by compressor’s timing function that closely resembles the S-curve on both attack and release stages.

The S-curve timing function means that the attack and release stages “look” like S-curve (sigmoid curve).  Such curve sonically adds a very warm coloration, without sharp edge.  Beside that, S-curve on longer release times possesses a bit of “hold” time delay where it does not change.  This allows the compressor to have clean, almost uncolored higher frequencies.

Deft Compressor features:

  • Adjustable S-curve timing function
  • “Vintage” compression mode
  • Feedback compression mode
  • Auto make-up gain
  • External side-chaining
  • Key signal filtering
  • Stereo and multi-channel processing
  • Internal channel routing
