Simple wet/dry vst?

[lingyai]

There are times when it is cumbersome to to set up sends or duplicate tracks for parallel processing when a particular dsp plug lacks a wet/dry mix.

I'm looking for something wich provides a simple wet/dry mix knob for such cases.

I've downloaded the demo for Blue Cat's Patchwork, which does exactly what I want, but it also does more than I need, and at around $100, costs more than I'd care to spend. Any ideas?

No Reaper-only solutions please as I don't use Reaper.

ddmf have metaplugin. It`s another chainer that can also do a lot, so your best bet would be to save presets (called graphs in metaplugin) and recall those from its right-click menu.

It also has the advantage of VST scanning over Patchwork. i.e. plugin paths don`t have to be the same if you re-install stuff - though this may have changed in PatchWork since I last tried it?

To use wet dry control you press shift and drag on the plug`s 'rectangle' in the main UI

Demo at bottom of page:
https://ddmf.eu/metaplugin-chainer-vst- ... x-wrapper/

it`s £34 which google says $43.85 (though +VAT if applicable to you)

There`s also Plug n Mix Chainer though that`s $99, I managed to pick it up in the market place recently so you might be able to do a WTB thread.

It also has VST scanning:

I`ll post back if I can think of any cheaper options.

Kushview Element is another option. It's like the Blue Cat thing; it's more than you want. I like the responsive developer and rapid update stream.

Why not use a send FX channel in your DAW?

Then what do you use?

I never have to worry about this because I use Reaper. The only thing easier then they're drag and drop routing is the wet dry knob on they're plugin wrapper. lol.

You can also use MUX Modular to create a simple wet-dry patch and save it as preset.

Asking since most DAWs have a built in device/solution to that.

4tune, Mutools, thank you both. I'd thought of DDMF, checked the product page but no wet/dry control jumped oput at me; thanks 4tune for pointing that out. I actually rate both the DDMF and MUtools developers pretty highly (have an old MuLab 5 license somewhere; enjoyed working with it.)

I thing you could do it with Nugen Audio's SigMod for $26 although it supports only VST3

I use Patchwork myself. It’s extremely handy for many things. Including adding wet dry to an effect or using a sidechain on a vst2 plugin in cubase without having to do the bizarre quad channel thing. You’re going to end up with some kind of sub host. I think that the fruity loops one is free. Then there’s metaplugin. You could render a new version in sythedit(free) with wet and dry added. Lots of options. Most aren’t free. I highly recommend bluecat. It works extremely well for its purposes. If you want to do really complicated stuff then you can use plogue Bidule.

What host do you use anyway? A version of this is possible in lots of hosts.

Yeah, the wet dry control is a bit hidden in Metaplugin if you don`t know it. They could do with adding it to the tooltip.

I had Metaplugin for ages before realising you could shift-drag on the plugin nodes to set wet/dry amount.
