VST Effects for sound design

[OldmanChompski]

this thread seems to have become a shaperbox thread but I will jump in as well and say shaperbox 3 is dope.

[Sternenlicht]

could you elaborate on the time effect? What is it exactly?

[OldmanChompski]

It takes the incoming sound and drops the tempo of it. Like if you were to play a sample at -12 semitones it’ll slow it down. Then you can have the actual amount of semitones be modulated by the shapers automation tool and of course adjust the mix and have it only effect certain bands. On a basic level it’s great for emulating tape stop effects but you can get real wacky with it. I’m still like a more powerful version of FL Studios Grossbeat.

TimeShaper & ShaperBox 2 by Cableguys | Tutorial on Sound Design & MIDI Switching

This is gonna be a better video to explain what it can all do.

Edit:

Here’s another one from Shaperbox 1 but it shows the basics of what it does:

buy modalics beat scholar and abuse it

is infiltrator 2 the best of it’s sort or is there anything comparable for example I don’t think effectrix is comparable… so what is ?

[OldmanChompski]

Looks like a combo of effectrix / glitch 2, Shaperbox, and izotopes stutter edit.

But to be honest most of this could be done in youre DAW, it’s just drawing automation.

[captain8]

yeah, but I love stacking these kind of plugs together and slowing them way down to extract sample fodder from them. Does anybody know what kind of Black Friday deals to expect on infiltrator?

+1 on Trash. I really wish Izotope would do a Trash 3 (or at least an Apple Silicon version of Trash 2) but it seems like that isn’t happening

Izotope just sent out an email that they are discontinuing Trash 2. No new sales and only support for 12 more months then it’s done.

R2/R4/Breaktweaker(I think it’s called that) share the same fate FYI.

[spikysimon]

Yeah I saw that, it’s a shame. But not unexpected, I guess. I find it a bit odd because Trash must have done quite well for them, but I guess it doesn’t really fit with Izotope’s core mixing/mastering type product lineup

[Sternenlicht]

that means, they wont port the code to ARM, (M1) cpu ?

[spikysimon]

Almost certainly not, unfortunately.

Latest obsession is Dumpster Fire by Freakshow, was hard to handle first as it caracteristical sound can quickly overcome the result, but what a twisted pitch shifter it is !

[Narti]

Unfiltered Audio SILO is realy nice.

[Sternenlicht]

I put my drum loop through omnisphere now to create variations, the granular oscillator is quiet usable with it.
