Altar of Wisdom Time SpiralTime Spiral is a creative delay plugin featuring a groundbreaking Spring BBD mode — where delay taps bounce, overshoot, and settle like real springs, creating organic modulation effects you can't get anywhere else. Spring BBD Mode Delay taps that bounce — change delay time and watch taps overshoot, bounce back and forth, creating gorgeous pitch modulation. 1 to 8 independent taps — fewer for clear spring effects, or up to 8 for swarms of evolving echoes. Weight & Tension controls — shape how springs behave: sluggish and smooth, or fast and bouncy. Spread parameters — give each tap its own personality for rich, complex textures. Ready-to-go presets — No Osc, One Slow, Medium, and Fast spring behaviors. Animated scope — watch your taps bouncing in real-time. Three Delay Modes Digital Delay — pristine, transparent delays with smooth parameter changes. BBD Mode — authentic Bucket Brigade Device emulation for warm analog character with vintage pitch wobbling. Spring BBD — physics-based spring simulation for unique organic modulation. Flexible Timing Beats — musical subdivisions synced to tempo (1/32 to whole notes, including dotted). Milliseconds — precise timing from -1000 to +1000 ms. Samples — sample-accurate control for phase tricks and comb filtering. Negative delays — push tracks ahead in your mix. Pitch mode — short delay times show musical note for Karplus-Strong effects. Ping-Pong — bouncing stereo delays for width and movement. Advanced Filtering Three filter types: One-Pole, SVF, and IIR. Low-pass, high-pass, or band-pass modes. Filter before, after, or in the feedback loop. Real-time spectrum analyzer with adjustable FFT resolution. Interactive frequency response graph (20 Hz – 20 kHz). Drive & Dynamics Drive/Saturation — from subtle warmth to gritty distortion. Built-in compressor with ducking. Hard limiter. Full metering at every stage. Professional Loudness Tools Five measurement standards: Momentary, Short Term, Integrated, True Peak, and VU. Color-coded history graphs with smart auto-scaling. Zoomable time display. Visual Feedback Animated delay scope with pitch markers (±24 semitones). Total delay display showing beats, milliseconds, and samples simultaneously. Clean, resizable interface. Perfect for: ambient textures, vintage tape delay character, rhythmic delay patterns, experimental sound design with spring physics, Karplus-Strong synthesis, and professional mixing with broadcast-standard metering. Available in AU, VST3, and CLAP formats. Works with macOS 10.13+ and Windows 10+ (64-bit). Read More

Red Rock Sound 11FF Immersive Compressor / LimiterThe 11FF Compressor/Limiter was developed in collaboration with NICHOLAY MIX. Most of us are musicians and/or sound engineers. We love the recording process and are truly inspired when tracks are recorded beautifully. Our goal in developing the 11FF was to create a compressor/limiter that we ourselves would enjoy using—one that would evoke that wow factor that comes from listening to music recorded in its most natural, inspired form. We made a careful side-by-side comparison of the hardware original and our emulation to ensure the 11FF plug-in works indistinguishably from its physical prototype in terms of sound character. Designed for fast and efficient work on mid/side, stereo and the objects, the beds (fixed channels) of immersive mixing environments. Read More
