FREE Analogue Transformer

[vista]

... a nice combination

have you ever tried the combination
of jerome's JS Magneto + digitalfishphones Normalizer ?

...perhaps together with the KorgLegacy MS20FX ?

you will get a nice punchy analogue sound

what do you use to make it analogish ?

[VariKusBrainZ]

hmm, have to try this out laters, thanks

[brok landers]

vista, why the normalizer?? does js magneto produce denormals??

[Paulie Phonick]

Maybe just to add a little bit of noise which will surely contribute to the analog sound.

you won't hear it, it's running at nyquist ... and, at -100db at least ... that cannot be the reason he does it ... it would be strictly placebo then ...

Come on, guys... be inventive
Vista's idea might sound weird, but he's right: you can use the normalizer to add DC *before* any waveshaping plugin. The result is an asymmetric waveform that produces odd & even harmonics (as long as no hp filter doesn't cancel out the DC).
I wouldn't call it transformer distortion, though. Trannies distort frequency-dependent, the harmonic spectrum isn't quite predictable, depends on their exteriour. Plus, trannies add phase shift. They are highly complex beats.

well, as i understand it from his post, his order of the plugins was js magneto>normalizer ...
at least his post suggests that ...
i thought that he maybe missunderstood the name of the "normalizer" as some kind of mastering processor ...
i just wanted to be sure bout that ...
however, i'll try your suggestion, i'll see if it does a trick for me ...

how about a chaotic subtle filter mixed with the original signal to give it a bit of a more "analog" feel and those phase differences.

Dont waveshapers distort according to frequency content?

In that case I'd go for allpass filters.

Not quite. Without anything, they basically enhance the overtone spectrum. Surely things get twisted the more you approach nyquist. The higher the distortion, the more aliasing occurs without proper techniques (high amount of oversampling with 'naive'/brute-force shaping or polynomial shapers (degree equals required oversampling factor)).
In the analog domain the overtone spectrum is limited by the system's band range (e.g. gain=10000 at DC, gain=1 at 5Mhz), hence no aliasing products (only HF oscillation maybe with lousy compensated circuits).

Very low frequencies can cause intermodulation noise in both domains.

But the more practical essence is: you can greatly control the shaping sound by using pre and post filtering. That's exactly what guitar amps do and is part of 'the sound' that makes a Fender Blues sound different from a Marshall JCM or whatever...
Very 'responsive' things happen when you assemble multiple shapers that interact with each other in some way, e.g. like in a real circuit that has decoupling stages, bias-point shifting, positive and negative feedback loops etc.

Or some nice harmonic distortion..

I use the magneto plugin built into Nuendo most times...that and the tube plugin that comes with the package. Works every time.
