TDR Limiter 6 GE
Tokyo Dawn Records
TDR Limiter 6 GE is a modern dynamics compression and limiting toolkit featuring six specialized modules that can be arranged in variable order. Together, they cover a remarkable range of applications from delicate loudness control, to brutal “brick-walling” and creative mix bus crunching. Each module offers dedicated control over different types of events, from macro to micro, and allows you to determine the signal path. Combined wisely they can greatly increase the perceived loudness of a mix while preserving superior musical fidelity, punch, and excitement. With its appealing visual aesthetic, the advanced true peak and EBU R128 compliant loudness metering section gives a detailed insight into the signal’s dynamics. The equal loudness bypass will also make sure the operators’ aural perception doesn’t get tricked by any loudness differences. A collection of sensible starting points allows for quick, yet precise loudness maximization.Starting Price: €50 one-time payment -

TDR Kotelnikov
Tokyo Dawn Records
TDR Kotelnikov is a wideband dynamics processor combining high fidelity dynamic range control with deep musical flexibility.

With a sonic signature best described as “stealthy”, Kotelnikov has the ability to manipulate the dynamic range by dramatic amounts, while carefully preserving the original tone, timbre and punch of a musical signal. As such, it is perfectly suited to stereo bus compression as well as other critical applications. The “Gentleman’s Edition” (GE) adds several improvements to the standard edition’s feature set. The most obvious being an intuitive access to various equal loudness workflows, the ability to specify ratio in a frequency-dependent manner, etc.Starting Price: €50 one-time payment -

Paragon
NUGEN Audio
Paragon is a true convolution reverb with the flexibility and control of a classic algorithmic reverb, giving you the sound of real spaces, now with unprecedented tweakability. Via re-synthesis, Paragon offers full control of the decay, room size and brightness of reverbs modelled on 3D recordings of real spaces - with no time-stretching, which means no artefacts - not to mention spectral analysis and precise EQ of the Impulse Responses themselves. Paragon’s reverb decay and room size can be set significantly longer, larger, shorter and smaller than that of the original IR space, without introducing ugly artefacts as a result of stretching or removing samples. Unlike a traditional convolution reverb, Paragon does not use a static Impulse Response, and this wider scope allows you to transparently transform the sound of the space.Starting Price: $599 one-time payment -

MasterCheck
NUGEN Audio
MasterCheck is the complete optimization solution for today’s delivery services, a plug-in providing the tools to make sure your music reaches the listener as intended. Streaming apps, download stores and podcasts all use data compression, loudness normalization or both.

MasterCheck reveals these problems ahead of time, and enables you to deliver masters perfectly tuned for specific playout systems. MasterCheck demonstrates the effects of loudness normalization so you can find the sweet spot between perceived loudness and dynamics, and allows you to hear artefacts introduced by the encoding process ahead of time. You can quickly find the point where these processes will start to negatively impact the music, putting you back in control.Starting Price: $199 one-time payment -

Audioalter
Audioalter
This is a free web tool that allows you to remove the vocals from a song to create a karaoke version of it. How good the results will be depends on how the track is recorded. If any instruments are centered, they will also get removed. The vocals are removed by using the OOPS (Out Of Phase Stereo) effect. The OOPS effect relies on that most songs have the the vocals perfectly centered while the instruments are panned slightly to the left and right channel. The two channels are then subtracted from each other, and since the vocals are as present on the left channel as the right channel, they will cancel each other out and dissapear. This tool is specifically made to be used with voice recordings and will reduce unwanted sounds from the recordings while trying to maintain a good audio quality.Starting Price: Free -

VCV RACK
VCV RACK
VCV RACK simulates a modular synthesizer where each module itself can be a challenge to simulate on a modern computer, whether it’s a virtual analog model with hundreds of analog components to simulate, or a digital module designed to be run on an ARM microprocessor similar to your smart phone’s. A common patch of a hundred modules can require billions of floating point calculations per second to simulate and millions of 2D path elements to draw using OpenGL. Use VCV Recorder to record audio or video. It operates in engine “time”, not real-time, and therefore does not record real-time audio hiccups/stuttering. This means that any hiccups/stuttering you hear in real time will not be present when the recording is played back. Plugins extend VCV RACK functionality by adding one or more modules to use in your patch. Plugins are typically installed via the VCV Library. Save, share, edit, and move around selections of modules.Starting Price: $19 per month -
