Plugins information:

1. DJMfilter: is one the nornal frequancy filters (Xfer)


2. Valhalla shimmer: works just other reverbs
3. Valhallafreqecho: is like reverb as a delay effect
4. Tal bud: also works like reverb as a delay effect (Togu Tal)
5. OTT: works like a compressor, but use it to make something sound tight
over sounds quashed or over compressed.
6. Sometimes it makes something sound like the reverb tail has been made
short.
7. Delta modulator: is used as some kind of a special modulator effect ,
commonly in EDM.
8. Cthulhu: is some MIDI input plugin, find out about it online
9. DrMs spiral effect: makes you adjust mid and side information of the
signal.
10.You can check this with isotope stereo imager to see what you
adjustments doing. This plugin has four major important controls

.Mid

.Side

.Focus and

.Field

Check online and also check the presets, otherwise this is one of the great
stereo imaging plugin.

Sound toy
1. Soundtoys filter freak: This plugin is grate for gluing sort of molding a
sound (im not gonna use it that much). The presets have amazing
filtering movement!!!

2. Soundtoys primaltal : very interesting plugin effect , but automate it. it


is a great tool when composing beats, just to go crazy and nock yourself
out
3. Soundtoys little radiator: is fun , use it for pushing things a bit with
some subtle distortion. pay attention though. Switch off the noise
unless you need it there.
4. Soundtoys tremolator: Is also a beautiful sound modifying effect , just
like the filterfreak to form coolest tremilo sounds way beyond the
normal tremilo effect.
5. Soundtoys alterboy: allows you to change the voice/instrument pitch.
this plugin is good , especially for 1 or 2 semitones up or down the audio.
6. Soundtoys devilcoc: is crunch, compress and distort plugin. i would
prefare to use it on bus compression so that I can be able to use just the
good dialling into my original signal
1. 7 .Soundtoys phasemistress: is not really a flanger but it is like flanger. it
creates some kind of movement in sound.
2. You can try parallel it with the main sound using the aux track and the
small fader to pre.

Sounds pot

1. Soundspot halcyon: is a saturator plugin, but it lets you saturate chosen


areas in the frequancy spectrum. And you can choose that for the sound
do you want to saturate in the middle or sides.
1. Obviously, for for sounds or instruments that must be in stereo you may
want to saturate on side point. Hint , saturation adds harmonics.
Awesome plugin in my opinion for low end boost on the drums mode.
2. Soundspot FAT: its a filter plugin
3. Soundspot Focus: this a mastering plugin that makes you shape the
stereo image of the master (learn this before getting comfortable with
it)
4. Soundspot syclone: is a mastering compressor with both side and mid
options. The difference and great feature of this plugin is that it has
5. Soundspot percolate: it is for the drums
6. Soundspot overtone : its also a good either master or subgroup EQ ( My
note, remember with EQ its better to dail all there to worse and go back
to the sweet spot)
7. Soundspot propane: this plugin makes you be able to pan mid and side
as you desire (you can pan the mono part of track and also position the
stereo information as you like)
8. Soundspot MSW 1: It is a stereo with plugin like other stereo with
plugins
9. Soundspot Nebula : it’s a delay plugin with its own characteristics and
great features, wel not so good for the vocals unless one is looking for a
specific effect
10.Soundspot oracle: this is a reverb plugin. This plugin actually allows you
to separate reverb into its mid and side. Meaning you can place the mid
verb toward the left and side to the right or vise vesa.
11.Incredible effect!!. It has a saturation control that brings a nice tape
analogue feel and if distortion is a bit too much, then use the parallel
control which mixes the compressed and a dry signal nice and evenly

SONOX OXFORD

Great thing about oxford plugins is their transparency, meaning you can
overuse them without actually realizing them.

1. Sonox dynamic native: this plugin has more in one, but my favourite
thing with it is that you can compress a vocal quiet heavily and without
hearing the compression effect.
This plugin is actually ideal for vocals; one can also warm up vocals in
just one plugin.

2. Oxford EQ : comes with 4 types: type 1 sounds like the 80's console (SSL
400 for instance) the eq boost and cut have the identical q-band

Type 2: on this one, the cut is narrower or tighter that boost, this is good for
taking out problem frequencies

Type 3: it has a British sounding (neve console for instance)

Type 4: this is kind of a mastering EQ, It has a wide curves, so its gentle for
tweaking in mastering stage.

Type 5 : this is modelled after GML-EQ (outboard EQ). This one the frequency
goes up to 26 kHz. This serves vocals with a nice air if that is what you are
after.

3. Oxford transMod : can be used to harden or soften transients like kick


drums or enhance elements that are lost in the mix without pushing the
volume sliders.

Remember if you dealing with EQ, back off a little bit if you are overloading, do
not just boost.

Softube
1. Console 1 : this is a channel stripe plugin and has a sound like that of an
SSL 400 console. This plugin needs hardware to work.
2. Drawmer 1973: is a multiband compressor used either for an individual
track or bus

3. FET compressor: Has a superfast response that allows you to crush


drums or guitars or vocals or anything without pinching or pumping
heard in any types of compressors. The fast response of this compressor
means that you can grab transients fast without losing musicality of
audio. With low cut knob, you can tell the compressor to start
compressing for instance above 200Hz. Note , when compressing the
longer attack time lets in transients in for a longer before compression
takes place. Now, the release time should be dialled in such a way that

4. Fix doubler: this works a doubler (creates a duplicate signal) and with
dual sweep turned on, the duplicated signal is panned left and right and
the original remaining in the centre creating even a nicer effect.

5. Valley people Dynamite: Valley People Dyna-mite is probably mostly


known for its capability of ruthless compression and limiting. But it's also
super useful for expanding, gating, keying and de-essing

6. Tube-Tech PE 1C: This is like a pultec eq. Tube-tech has only two
frequency bands (High and low end). It’s interesting for adding a 100Hz
to a kick drum

7. Tube-Tech ME 1B: This is like a pultec Mid-range EQ

8. Tube-Tech Classic Channel: This is sort of a pultec channel strip (Eq and
compressor in one).

9. Tube-Tech CL 1B: This is a pultec compressor

10.Tube Delay: Try tube delay , it’s also very interesting

11.TSAR-1R Reverb: Beautiful for creating small reverbs (using a short pre-
delay and reverb) to add a nice small reverb for the drums. Long hall
reverbs can also be added to for instance those sustained synths, pads
and stuff.

12. Mutator: this plugin emulates a nice wobbling tremolo effect on a sound

13. Saturation Knob: This plugin helps beef up the sound to make it sit in
the mix without affecting the volume. This is actually great because it
noticeably raises the RMS loudness and drops down the peak volume of
audio.
14. Focusing EQ: This is a combination of an active and passive equalizer and
then a saturation knob. You can switch back and forth between the two
modes to get the sound you want.

15.Spring verb: This is also a nice reverb plugin, especially for guitars or
other sounds according to your liking. Remember, anything you do in
mixing listen to it in the mix not just on its own. It has to groove with the
mix

16. Summit Audio EQF-100: This is warm in character type of EQ,


experiment

17. Summit Audio TLA-100A: This is a tube based levelling compressor with
additional features that make it outstanding. The option to choose
between fast attack (when dealing with fast transients), fast or slow
releases as well as the audio requires.

There is also a low cut option to prevent the compressor circuit from
being triggered by low frequencies, meaning things like kick drums and
bass sound come out nicely without being tamed by the compressor.

18. Tonelux Tilt Live: This is a quick toning EQ that lets you deal quickly with
issues of tone in terms of frequencies

19. Trident A-Range: This is a great EQ for guitars. Well it can be used for
other things such as drums, etc, as well.

KLANGHELM
Let’s look at UV meters in general first. These are averaging volume units
meters. They are fairly accurate for metering steady state sounds , but sound
with some kind of quietness (drums) may be indicate lower levels than the
actual peak energy in the recording. DBfs (Db full scale) has a lot in common
with PPM (peak power meters).

PPM will show you peak spikes that may be missed by VU meters. VU
is volume unit, and is an analogue measurement. To convert from
dBFS to dBVu, o dBVu is equal to somewhere between -18 to -22 dBfS
depending on your converter. This means that if a VU meter niddle
hits odBs, that indicates -18dBs in dBfs. You can prove this if you have
an analogue console.

With VU, you can go above 0Db. When compressing, the threshold
value is actually the RMS value and when we compressing we have a
special interest in the levelling of the RMS value. However, when we
limiting we want to tame the peak values.

The other common unit is LUFS (loudness unit full scale). These is the
meter you would instantiate along with the true peak meter in the
master channel to see what is the actual level before the record
leaves the DAW.

True peak measures a loudest point in a signal, “NB” in terms of level,


not loudness. RMS is also deals with loudness as compared to signal
level, but it still does it in average Db terms but LUFS measures
loudness in a more advanced way. It deals with the perceived
loudness (for instance, the high frequency is perceived louder than
low frequencies, even when they are played at the same volume
level).

With the LUFS meter, you can read off the momentary loudness,
short term, the LU range (the difference in loudest and quietest
points of the signal) AND the integrated, which measures the whole
thing from press play to whatever point at which you stop. The song
that is in a good loudness level is the one that has an integrated LUFS
value of -11dBs and momentary level of around -9dBs.

1. Klanghelm VU meter:

With this plugin, you can change the reference point from -18dBs for
instance -10dBs. When used for mastering, you set the limiter ceiling
point (i.e. -1dB) and then adjust the threshold all the way to a point
where it’s loud enough without losing the dynamics of the track or a
channel. With this plugin you can also use the trim control to increase
the volume of the signal without having to attenuate anything with a
limiter. NOTE, use the volume automation the tame highest peaks in
the audio file.

2. Klanghelm SDRR:

This one of the saturation plugins with four different colours, namely
tube, Digi, Fuzz and desk. It also comes with a whole lot of presets to
choose from and tweak as needed.

3. Klanghelm MJUCjr:

This is a compressor that may remind you of an LA 2A. Fast means


fast attack and fast release. Slow means slow attack and slow release.
Experiment!!.

4. Klanghelm MJUC:

This is a tube compressor with awesome three options to select from


(Mk1, Mk2 and Mk3). The Mk1 is from the 50s and has nice
coloration without the noticeable thump, giving you smooth dense
sound on vocals. The Mk 2 has more forward sounding for rock and
roll kind of think. It has a great harmonic content and great character.
The Mk 3 is less colouring than the other two, great on vocals still and
provides good punch on drums as well and to percussive material in
general. The other control that is not found in any compressor of its
time is the features on the drop down section. The timbre to add that
crisp without introducing harshness, the SCF control to low
frequencies from triggering the internal side chain and the dry/wet
control.
