    Tokyo Dawn Labs TDR Ultrasonic Filter
    It filters highs above 20 kHz for sample-rates 88.2 and higher. Useful for aliasing reduction, which appears when using effects with non-linear distortions (saturators, exciters, compressors...) at high sample-rates. Less ultrasonic stuff, much warmer audible frequency range. Can be used after each FX instances on inserts, busses, sends, master-bus.

    rs-met engineers filter
    A lot of filter-types and filter controllers. Extremely high quality.

  5. From Tokyo Dawn Labs about the Ultrasonic Filter...

    I experimented with the Ultrasonic filter on a just-for-fun master at 96kHz. I had about 10 plugins in a chain (all producing harmonic distortion of various degrees, mainly Acustica Audio Aqua and Nebula instances) and smashed into Voxengo Elephant ridiculously hot (limiting up to 8dB at best). I inserted Ultrasonic filter first in the chain and then after (and thus before) each and every plugin, including after elephant (so actually after the limiting.. just before final dither). The difference is ASTONISHING!! It is so ridiculously obvious and much better with the filters than without. A truly mind-blowing “WTF???!!” experience for me. It basically removed a lot of problems I’ve identified in mixes and previous masters that had heavy processing with a lot of harmonics.. mainly that nasty build up of “ringing” around 2.3 to 4kHz area. It also cleared out the congested mids and lower mids.

    This is a game changer for me. I will not do any more high resolution mastering without this filtering. Period. Heck, I will never mix at high resolution again without this plugin inserted all over the place

    Good advice on doing the things we need to do to protect our systems. Just got me a new one and getting back into things again after taking off most of last year from playing and recording.

    I had microcenter build mine out for me and all they charged was $129 to build it and install the OS, I just bought the parts and gave them to them to build it, of course I bought most of the parts from them anyway. I put everything in a cooler master cube style case. A desktop is way more powerful than a laptop if you go for 6 core intel processors and 32 gigs of ram.

    2 things we need in a desk top: 1. It has hand grips like a marshall cabinet so its a lot easier to carry around, and 2. hot swappable drive bays in the front for doing quick swaps of hard drives.

    sugaraudio.de Oscarizor v1.0 Free

    [​IMG]

    „This oscillator has already helped us many times in our DAW projects to exactly adjust our compressors and transient controllers.” – Sugar Audio

    Oscarizor, a freeware oscilloscope (32-bit & 64-bit VST/AU plugin format for Windows & Mac OS) plugin for DAW. A commercial Pro version of the plugin is also available, offering more features and multi-channel support.

    The free version of Oscarizor, although limited in terms of available features when compared to the Pro version, is actually a fully functional and very usable freeware oscilloscope plugin in its own right. It doesn’t come with an annoying nag screen, nor does it feature any other aggressive limitations like noise bursts, timeouts, and such.
