Voxengo Shumovick

Shumovick AudioUnit, AAX, and VST plugin for professional music production applications produces a creative dynamic noise-padding effect.  This effect is most effective on beats and synth sounds used in electronic music production: EDM, hip-hop, and many others.  The noise-padding effect created by this plugin is correlated to the spectral content of the sound being processed.

As a result, on beats, this creates mellow noise bursts that make bassdrum sounds a lot softer, with a bit of stereo-field enhancement effect.  On synths, on the other hand, such noise-padding effect may boost the power and density of the sound.  Shumovick can be also effective when used on sterile-sounding basslines where it can add a bit of “pillowy” noise background.  In practice, Shumovick can be also used on acoustic drum buses adding “vintage” feel and aggression to them.  When used on a full mix lightly, Shumovick can add a slight “vintage” feel to the sound, make it slightly rougher, and add a stereo-widening effect: this is reminiscent of what a reel-to-reel tape and vinyl recording media does to the sound, naturally.

Shumovick is a relatively CPU-demanding effect plugin, so it requires a higher-end computer processor for a comfortable use.  However, the CPU requirements can be lowered by adjusting plugin’s processing band count.
