'Ather' - the worlds first predither
Since dither and noiseshaping is used in every professional mastering, our new plugin 'Ather' acts as an add-on to every Dither/Noiseshaper and thus gives you more control over this magic ingredient.
Instead of shaping the noise after the dithering progress, this plugin shapes the noise before it is applied. This way a watermark can easily be added to the lowest bits (perfectly to copyright your audio data). But it also goes even further. It also decouples the noise with a special algorith for a warmer and deeper sound.

The preliminary RC1 can be downloaded here: http://www.savioursofsoul.de/Christian/ ... nstall.exe

Have fun,

Christian

Hey wow! excellent! I've been looking forward to a new take on dithering. Thanks for this.

Your previous record goes such a long way this must be good.

I'll give it thorough test round after I sort out my hardware troubles.

Wow...now i can get that "pro" sound everyone talks about.

Edit: Extra "wows." After trying it on a track that didn't sound so good, my respect for this plug has went up 1000 fold. i really do now sound like a pro...can you believe it? ME? PRO!!!!! i wont forget you man, i swear i wont forget you when i'm "up there."

This one is only a nice ADD-ON to every dither/noiseshaper not a replacement!

Best plug ever. Had to be said.

Plus nice manual, presets and the incredibly useful validator as well! What a joy!

You better use ABX testing for it.. it's rather subtle.

Cheers!

Oh!

Well that's certainly going to be subtle.

I'd think this is more your field in the light of this knowledge.

Or is this an april fools type thing again?
