Berglind Audio Oolong Saturator JrOolong is a saturation plugin built for music production, mixing, and mastering. It's designed to offer exceptional flexibility, outstanding sound quality and a deeply musical character. Oolong Jr is a FREE version featuring the core functions of Oolong. Free from the usual constraints of traditional analog modeling, Oolong draws inspiration from tube preamps and tape machines–but it's tuned by ear, not by textbook. The result: a sound that's not bound by emulation, but built to feel right. With just a few simple controls, Oolong moves easily from subtle enhancement to bold distortion—from the sweet harmonics of a tube amp to the smooth dynamic shaping of vintage tape—and everything in between.

Windows-G E-SubkickSimulator300A JSFX sub-bass enhancer plugin for REAPER that emulates the tone of a subkick speaker-microphone through a clean EQ curve. This means it preserves the original sound character while adding sub-bass enhancement through EQ shaping. Simply route your kick drum, bass, 808s, toms, or any source needing sub-bass weight to a parallel track. Insert the E-SubkickSimulator300 on that parallel track and use the output gain to blend in the desired amount of sub-bass weight. You can then use the high-cut filter to shape it further. You may also insert it directly on a track for creative effects or experimentation. Oh, and that animated speaker cone moving with the audio is something I enjoy watching, just for the eyes. Have fun with it. Grab it for free. Email Support: info.windowsg@gmail.com. ================================================== Using This JSFX Plugin in Other DAWs: If you want to use this JSFX plugin in other DAWs, you can do so using the open-source YSFX plugin.
