FLH3 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) Don't know if this was already posted here but you cant get an Access Virus B and C and Waldorf MicroQ with a motorola 56300 dsp emulator: Osirus & Vavra. It's not immediate and "click on the .pkg instaler ready" but it's worth the effort in my opinon. https://dsp56300.wordpress.com/ http://futurenoize.com/dsp56300/builds/microQ/beta/ https://waldorfmusic.com/legacy-micro-q-series/ https://dbwbp.com/index.php/9-misc/37-synth-eprom-dumps And obvisoulsy this emulator is compatible with all the soundbanks .syx and .mid for those synths You'll find many tutorials and other links to get the things working Edited April 22, 2023 by FLH3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deckard1 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) Free overdrive plugin based on famous tube screamer pedal. Plugin works fine but had to restart computer after loading into component folder for the plugin to initially appear in Logic. I've had to do this with some other third party plugins as well. Does anybody know why the restart is required? Simply opening and closing Logic won't do it for Audio Unit plugin scan. https://www.tseaudio.com/software/tse808 Edited July 2, 2023 by deckard1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLH3 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) Sometime restarting the session, not the computer, is enough. If a plugin require a total computer restart I don't instal it on my main computer (I usualy test the plugins on my "mobile studio" laptop). This one works after restarting the session, so it's OK. It will live 😄 Edited July 2, 2023 by FLH3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find that simply logging off and back on is sufficient. A complete restart is not necessary. The main reason is to get AudioComponentRegistrar service to recognise a new plugin has been added, if it doesn't see it. Sometimes, it won't see it, and needs a "kick" - you can either get it to restart by restarting the computer, or by logging out and in again, or by literally kicking the process with 'killall -9 AudioComponentRegistrar' (where it will then restart itself).

deckard1 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Any opinions on this free plugin by Voxengo? It's a free guitar amplifier and cabinet simulation plugin... https://www.voxengo.com/press/voxengo-boogex-3-0-free-guitar-amplifier-plugin-released-397/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLH3 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) I've just tried it. For me it works well, the plugin is recognized without problem, no need to quit and reopen the session which is a good point for me. The CPU usage, often high with the convolution technic, is 25% on one thread bar with an intel 3 GHz Intel Xeon W 10 (my desktop 2018 iMac Pro) and 75%, and some jumping, on one thread bar with a 2,3 GHz Intel Core i9 8 (my laptop 2018 MBP 16''). See pictures, the piano played E minor 7 chords on both. So beware if you're short on CPU. The IRs are easy to load and the link to free IRs on the voxengo page is cool. I haven't dig yet in all its settings but they're many. Well, as usual with voxengo the GUI is not sexy nor even nice, but who care, the final listener will never see your screen Edited July 13, 2023 by FLH3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deckard1 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Chow Tape Model is a digital emulation of a reel-to-reel analog tape machine. The original algorithm was developed to emulate the Sony TC-260, but has since been expanded to be able to model a wide variety of tape machines. https://chowdsp.com/products.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLH3 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I confirm this is a excellent plugin. As I'm sometimes too lazy to plug my own reel-to-reels (plug, load a reel, compensate the delay, etc...) I use it often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoPro Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Not a plugin effect or instrument but this looks like a useful tool ! It’s an audio unit uninstaller that looks good . I haven’t personally installed this yet and have no idea if it’s worth your time but it may help for trying out plugins. Please if you’ve used this free plugin let me know your thoughts . I’ll probably install soon. The plugin is located at https://www.widebluesound.com/audio-plugin-uninstaller/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
