Airwindows — Relove
So I found Airwindows crap. Like analogue obsession.
But I changed my mind
I think that man is a godgiven person.
The gui qeuestion divides ppl. I was on the Opposition side saying airwindows is like bland looking and just wants to be "above" things with his no frontend approach.
Fastforward: his fx convinced me of his aproach. The dsp skills are so good I stopped caring about grafx and ui...
My recent views=
Mackity: heavy distortion, pleasing big sweetspot
Tape and tapefat: less control than satin by uhe but different aound. More grained. To me even more pleasing than satin.. let alone maschine tape algo...
Channel 9: the big girl/boy. Boom mofo. Sounds like a console; altough i never had one
One can change neve, api, ssl, mackie and one more I forgot. I use mackie anyway. Sounds like essential jeroen-search to me.
Like THAT 90s techno sound and skudge/efdemin.
Favourite plugin in a long time.
Tapedelay: wow like dubstation but I like it more. Different vibe but similar in execution... hope that makes senses.
I'll try to expand on this list as soon as possible guys.
I am unsure if a woman is on subsekt.

Re: Airwindows — Relove
I toyed around quite a bit further with airwindows plugins:
1. Metaverb: Absolutely nice on anything low end like kicks and toms. I manage to make some nice Bassey percussion with it. I am not sure how many of you will be afraid of the approach of the plugin. I found it to be one of the more cryptic ones of air windows. But after a few sessions I found it to be very good at what it does.
2. Bassamp: Wow what a nice disto unit. Reminds me of Maschine distortion plugin. Can get really wild in a good way. Perfect for everyone looking to „Harden“ a sound.
Now what I haven't gotten on doing is using the console plugins like an ssl console in comparison to sonimus satson. That's next on my list. I know it's not much money, but if otherwise possible I don't want to shove the money for sonimus ssl emulation.

Nice, didn’t know bout drumslam.
How do you use mackity? Only on instruments or also busses?
Hhave to try. It’s like a treasure trove. I just scroll through and often find something great in the airwindows folder.

Re: Airwindows — Relove
I often use Mackity as a send effect, it gives you a lot of flexibility and it seems to respond well when you send different channels to it and squash them together that way.Bradley1602 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 19, 2022 10:23 amNice, didn’t know bout drumslam.

don't forget there's also MackEQ which is an updated version of Mackity that adds low and high shelf EQ, plus a wet/dry mix
