I agree! Airwindows plugins sounds really nice. Some of my favourites so far: Console5, Channel6, Spiral2, Acceleration, Slew2, Distance, Buttercomp2, ClipOnly. TL;DW: Minimalist 2-buss safety clipper at dB with powerful anti-glare processing. It occurred to me I hadn’t brought any clippers to VST yet. Also, I’ve been getting requests for the latest ADClip in VST format. Thing is, ADClip is part of the for-pay collection that was formerly sold through Kagi Question about Airwindows and analog emulation. I’ve worked in hybrid studios and have experience with analog hardware, all except tape machines. I’ve never used one. I’ve used various tape emus over the years, and have always been intrigued by what Chris at airwindows does. His tape plugs seem to have a little something extra about them OneCornerClip. TL;DW: An ultimate full-bandwidth clipper. It’s great to patiently develop and improve subtleties like nonlinear DAW mixers and dithers and such, but now and then it’s very satisfying to just drop a bomb. OneCornerClip works like this: it’s like ADClip, except it spreads out the onset to clipping over possibly many samples YNotHighpass October 8, ; YNotLowpass October 1, ; CrickBass September 24, ; ResEQ2 September 17, ; SubTight September 9, ; Sweeten September Chris. Hi! I've got a new plugin you can have! These plugins come in Mac AU, and Mac, Windows and Linux VST. but if the sweetening is what you need it might be worth it, because it’s a super clean way to do that.

StudioKit is an EXS24 sampler instrument that’s designed to work with Airwindows Console. Each sample has ConsoleChannel already applied, which makes all of EXS24 including the filters and effects run ‘inside’ Console. kPlateB April 9, ; kPlateA April 2, ; Pafnuty2 Hey Chris, I was curious to ask you something. People hype the Inflator from Sonnox a lot, for many years. or if you had an opinion if its worth the hype it generated for many years. I defer to your opinion on these matters of subtile sonic voodoo magic:) Pear July 9, ; GalacticVibe July 2, ; Fracture2 June 25, ; MV2

Chris. Hi! I've got a new plugin you can have! These plugins come in Mac AU, and Mac, Windows and Linux VST. but the Airwindows biquad bandpass turns out to be ideally suited to test monitoring, where you want the bandwidth very limited but without sounding unusual or vibey about it. Pear July 9, ; GalacticVibe July 2, Having the Airwindows effects available in this form is just so good, thank you for that. Today when browsing the numerous cool effects in the VCV module, it hit me: having this available as a standalone VST would be awesome, too. Basically, the same stuff as the module, built as a VST - no CV inputs of course, but otherwise the same, i.e. In a digital world, the summing is technically infinite and absolute. Chris is trying to make an environment where it's limited like a console. Only the "PurestConsole" variations will actually produce an identical input and output on a single channel. What makes the other "Console" plugins different is the "x" part of the sat/desat functions I don’t think it’s worth for you to learn VST3 or deal with steinberg at all, just thought it might be easy to push it out for baconpaul, maybe as part of the surge team releases. baconpaul (Paul) June 4, , am Hi Chris, compliments for your Great work, I need help to be able to try the console series plugin. I use win7 64bit SP1 with Cubase SX3 (32bit) and Reaper(64bit) All of Chris Johnson’s work with AirWindows is freely available for download.

TL;DW: Pear is the testbed for a new filter, implemented as a highpass/lowpass shelf. [HOST] (k) Welcome to the Airwindows skunkworks, where you can get your hands on really unusual experiments! Pear is a new sort of filter I’m looking to use for my famous-console versions of Console. I’ve taken the concept of Holt and altered it along KPlateA. TL;DW: kPlateA is a plate reverb, not unlike its namesake atop Abbey Road:) [HOST] (k) So I just happened to turn my efforts to plate reverbs last week, since the internet exploded over some plugin drama and some of the plugins in question just happened to be models of some specific plate reverbs in a famous place: atop Abbey Chris.

They can be placed anywhere you like in your plug-in chain (unlike the Console series, which rely on ConsoleChannel plug-ins placed last in each channel plug-in chain, and a single ConsoleBuss plug-in at the beginning of your mixing Chris.
