Product Description
This library contains programs that give you some really incredible sounding analog ‘doubling’ effects, some lo-fi analog ‘reverb’ programs, some lo-fi EQ programs, and lastly a simple pseudo stereo program as a little bonus.
I think of the ‘Sooper Time Tube’ doubling programs as the main draw for this library. The hardware those programs are based on is essentially a ‘one trick pony’ but has been favored by many studio greats. It just sounds good. The stereo mode is great for not just doubling but also subtle widening of the audio. Normally you have no control over the length of actual delay you’re getting, as it’s determined by the time it takes the sound to go through a hose (two hoses in stereo mode) and get to the other end! Here you have a program that gives you variable time for the mono effect from 15-50ms (in 1ms steps), and multiple combos of stereo delay times for the stereo effect. You can add some feedback for entirely other types of effects, also. You can always use the OG versions which work and sound just like the real deal, too.
The rest I think of as kind of a bonus to the Time Tube stuff, but a pretty extensive bonus. I used an old analog ‘reverb’ unit, which was aimed at the consumer market and intended to add reverb to your stereo system in case you didn’t think the music you enjoyed listening to had enough reverb already! Many units of this type exist, and the older ones used spring reverbs, but this one used an analog delay with feedback to try to approximate a reverb. You can adjust the reverb effect with a graphic EQ, and I’ve made programs where you can ‘morph’ from a ‘frown’ EQ to a ‘smile’, as well as a program that morphs between high and low ’tilt’ style EQ settings.
Last there are some programs just for EQ, which you can use on anything, made from the same unit. These also go from smile-frown and tilt up-down. There are two sets, made from the other 2 graphic EQs on the unit (there are 3 on that unit altogether). These aren’t super hi-fidelity EQs to say the least, but they also don’t sound awful, and can give you a nice variety for your sonic palette in addition to all of the great hi-fi Nebula EQs you probably already have. In some cases the panning tilts a bit, at extreme settings, but that’s part of the charm. As a final extra bonus is a simple ‘pseudo stereo’ program, which ‘widens’ a mono input by applying inverted cut/boost EQing to the stereo channels. It’s not amazing but it’s kind of interesting!
