Aye, Scottish Camels toooo!
Extra hairy? Spit more often? Turn lobster-red when the sun comes out? Sound like they're choking on phlegm? What makes Scottish camels special?

Yes unless they use mousse,yes bucket fulls,yes they do turn beet red, they choke on the Dundee biscuits, not phlegm, fuel injection, and ask Hunter. That about covers all your questions!

Go check it out at http://www.filterscape.com

There's also Volcano from Fabfilter which should be a VERY good filter...hope they release it soon

Fair enough, just thought I'd try

Now, back on topic...Filters

Ah yes...I got a question about Crayon Filter - when I instantiate it, it immediately boosts the signal and I can't get it to NOT clip - is that normal? I know it's supposed to be a driven-sounding filter.

Personally, I've had trouble finding a good, smooth filter that doesn't sound cold, stepped, or peaks out easily. My absolute favourite right now is this little-known puppy:

http://www.kvraudio.com/get/730.html

It's smooth, doesn't clip during sweeps and allows for more complex filter-tempo-fuzz techniques. I don't know why - at this price - it isn't all the rage (maybe it's the awkward name...).

I second the Kjaerhus recommendation for a freebie and Filterscape for something truly outstanding.

You guys convinced me to try Filterscape but I'm having a problem: is the trial version Mac only? It seems to be...

I personally think that Reaktor has the best sounding filters around. Not so great on CPU usage though. But really a different yet pleasing sound you can't find anywhere else.

Oh yeah and you can make the filter do anything too.

For me the MS-20 in the legacy collection has the best filter i've heard so far in a software plugin. It just sounds awesome....cpu hungry little bastard though

I still received no answer from mpc84 on his CPU problem. NWRCFil eats around 3% on a P4 Dothan 2.1 notebook with XP, and around 5-6% on a P4 1.8 desktop with Win2000. I dont think, this is too much.

Nope, there's 3 sections on the download page, one for Mac AU, one for VST Mac and one for VST PC... just scroll a bit down on the page...

http://www.filterscape.com/index.php?item=downloads

It's still named "beta", but it's pretty stable and usable. Final version (some minor fixes and a couple of enhancements all over the place) is expected within two weeks.

Cheers,

Urs

Betabugs plugs never crashed my Tracktion.

Here's my Tracktion setup:

Athlon 1.2 GHz
256 MB RAM
SB Live using KX Drivers, at 5.3 mS latency, thank you very much.

Betabugs plugs are great. They work very nicely with Tracktion in my opinion. And it's not because I've got some killer PC setup, as you can tell. I probably have one of the oldest/least capable machines of the KVR membership.

(I still prefer Frohmage, however)
