What I should point out, in advance, is that there are generally two editions to Auburn Sounds VSTs, and Renegate is no exception. We usually sound like freshly minted fanboys at a Comic Con when talking about Auburn Sounds plugins, but we swear there is a good reason for that. But if you’ve captured a performance, you’re happy with and are wondering whether you can save it because of the excess background noise, a gate will come in extremely handy. Meaning – if you have a distorted vocal track (because of too much gain), a gate is not going to fix that. The main thing to remember is to start with a source you’re happy with. With a bit of tweaking, you can remove a lot of background noise using FLOORFISH. The graphical user interface is a little early 2000s, to be sure, but it has a pleasing, brushed metallic quality, and it’s easy on the eyes. Simple enough to figure out even for the beginner music producer. It comes with controls for listen, detect freq, bypass, stereo, soft, sense, expansion, attack, and release. You can even scan the source and adjust the transition curve.

Basically, a set of plugins that help you even out and clean up your soundwaves.įLOORFISH lets you tap into a variety of processing options, from slight expansion and background noise attenuation to extreme gating for specialized effects and sounds that cut in and out. The fish fillets are made up of the BLOCKFISH compressor, SPITFISH de-esser, and of course, the FLOORFISH expander/gate. A good set of free VSTs to explore and experiment with. They’re nicely designed, simple to use, and effective besides. To compile and install this plug-in you will need the LV2 SDK, Meson build system (use pip3 to install it), ninja compiler, git and fftw3 library (>= 3.3.5 is recommended to avoid threading issues).We’ve featured Sascha Eversmeier’s plugin pack (also known as “the fish fillets”) on MIDINation before. Just extract the adequate zip file for your platform to your lv2 plugins folder (normally /usr/local/lib/lv2 or $HOME/.lv2) It was developed to be used with Ardour however it is known to work with other hostsīinaries for most platforms are provided with releases but if you are an experienced user you can go ahead an compile it from source.The plug-in will introduce latency so it's not appropriate to be used while recording (35 ms for 44.1 kHz).Option to listen to the residual signal.Whitening of the noise floor to mask artifacts and to recover higher frequencies.Basic onset detector to avoid transients suppression.Time smoothing and a masking estimation to reduce artifacts.


Adjustable offset of thresholds to perform over-subtraction.Adaptive and manual noise thresholds estimation.Spectral gating and spectral subtraction suppression rule.An lv2 plug-in for broadband noise reduction.
