Anyone have a working link for TesslaSE?

The link in the first post here worked for me.

Yeah, the dev said it's back online.

Could someone please upload TesslaSE at some free webspace?

I finally got a chance to try Tessla AND rescue as well. Oh my! These plugins are rather excellent!

Unlike some certain "sonic maximizer", which I will not mention by name

, these actually kick ass, IMHO! I really REALLY like the subtle enhancement of Tessla especially. Looking forward to destroying a lot of mixes in the future by overusing/abusing this plugin!

Cheers!

Is that enough for a "blind" test?

hmm wish I could get a visual at least. Maybe a spectral screen cap of ABX

?

+10 really smooth like! I'm going to compare it to another similar older plug I use all the time. I've been waiting for something to knock that one out of the water, maybe this is it!?!.

bootsie now if only you could do the same thing with soft distortion/fuzz! That would be impressive..

Maybe one for the suite

?

Just a thought..

Are you kidding me or don't you know what an ABX test is?

Yeah cool! Don't use your ears. bmanic likes it. That's all you need.

Exactly! Just use whatever plugins I like and you'll be 1337.

Sorry for the inconvenience and glad you liked that plug so far.
Please don't redistribute this plug on your own.

thanks,
bootsie

Thanks bootsie - I'll load them up and give you some feedback.

EDIT - Really like Rescue - Nice old-school sound and feel, cool retro UI - punchy - rather like TLs2095 not on steroids.

IMHO, the only improvement I would suggest would be to reconfigure the volume control so that it only works when the VST is in the on position; or at least some way to a/b original signal to processed signal at the same apparent volume level.

I'll have to work with TesslaSE more. Either the effect is so subtle, I'm not feeling it, or I'm not together with the basic operation. (Testing with some Mayall/Clapton Bluesbreakers tunes).

An ABX test is a blind listening test which eliminates the psycho effects of "thinking" that you hear a difference while in fact you're expecting a difference.
For Reaper there is a ABX plugin available that gives you exactly that test configuration. feed it with tracks A and B and the plugin randomly plays those tracks and you can press buttons to say which is which. It gives you a trial number, score number and score percentage.

I recommend such tests to everybody who is THAT serious about sound that he/she is beyond the fanboy, shiny-GUI-sounds-cool, high-price-is-good, name dropping, etc. state of being.
I know that this thing can destroy some idols but to me this was eye opening. Something like:
