  • Bram Vocal SeparatorVocal separator DAW plugin (CLAP format, x86_64) for Linux, using an offline AI model that runs on your device, and it is light enough to not require a GPU. On my regular laptop it processes a second of audio in roughly one second. This plugin also has no DRM or activation, so if you get it once you will be able to use it forever, also without an internet connection. The plugin is powered by Demucs, a state-of-the-art music source separation model. You can load .mp3 and .wav audio files, and adjust the selection where you want to separate the vocals with the sliders in the GUI. You can play any note on the track to hear your selection. When you are happy with the selection, you can click "Isolate vocals" to separate the vocals. Now, you can play a note of the track to hear the result. You can use the isolated vocals by playing notes on the track with the plugin, or export the result to a .wav file and load it in your favorite sampler to use it in the rest of your song. You can see a demo video here: https://youtu.be/aHLQoB0BuBk Also, here are some results from using this plugin: (see audio files). If you are interested in a plugin that separates other stems as well (drums, bass, etc.), let me know at audio@btertoolen.eu. You can also email me there for any support or other questions / feedback. Read More

  • Adam Baker Reflection: MIDI + Chord ViewerReflection: The chords you're playing, big and bold, on any screen. Reflection came about because I always wanted a plugin with a giant piano and chord viewer that I could see from across the room. My MIDI keyboard isn't in front of my computer, it's next to it, and I'm still (always) learning piano and music theory. None of the existing plugins were big enough for me to see. Once the basic plugin was built, I thought, why not have that broadcast to my iPad? My other app, Grip (for Ableton Live), already had a desktop companion to connect over Wi-Fi, so I reused it for Reflection. And why just one device? A phone and a tablet, or a whole classroom of piano students with iPads, could all show the same thing. Plus, why not be able to teach or share over the web? So, sharing, Jackbox-style, is a part of Reflection too. Reflection has three parts: a free plugin (VST3, AU), a mobile app (iOS, Android in beta), and a desktop app (Mac, Windows). They all have: Real-time chord detection from MIDI. Piano keyboard, grand staff, and equivalent guitar chord notation. Key signature and mode. Tap, type, or (on mobile) speak a chord name to see how to play it. The mobile and desktop apps also have a built-in piano and other sounds, so they work without a DAW. Chord analysis plugins aren't new. What's different about Reflection is seeing the same thing on multiple screens at once: Producer: Stick your phone on your keyboard and see what's playing through your DAW without turning around. Band/jam/collaborators or teachers & students: All of you can see what's being played in your own devices, e.g. to follow a band leader as they play. Either real-time over Wi-Fi in the same room, or over the web. I've got lots of ideas for how to extend this, either into the teaching/learning space, or more for live use, or for production. But starting with the basics and want to hear from producers, teachers, students, and others about what would make Reflection useful to you. Read More

  • Analog Realism Sphinx 101Master bus processor with the world's first shared voltage rail. Three console topologies, four transformer models, multiband dynamics, EQ, stereo width, filters, and HF soft clipping (tube and solid-state modes) - all physically modeled at the component level. The core technology, TrueRail, connects all processing modules through a shared virtual power supply. When you push one module harder, every other module responds - rail sag, thermal drift, transformer saturation shifts, crosstalk between stages. Twelve analog mechanisms running simultaneously, just like real hardware. Each plugin instance loads with unique per-component tolerance variation, so no two instances sound exactly alike. Verified with 2,043 automated signal measurements across 9 test suites, zero failures. Full Plugin Doctor measurements published openly at https://analogrealism.com/pages/test-results.html Free demo available - fully functional with brief periodic silence. No subscriptions. Read More
