A brief update on the future of Variety of Sound plugins

[jens]

I didn't even hear about VoS plugins. Are they really that good? Сan I ask someone to take a step away from the raving and tell me why they are so great? Thank you

Back in the early 2010s, these were some of the best freeware mixing options around. They're kind of out of date now, but they still sound pretty good. I hope the developer is going to release 64 bit versions and include 4x oversampling.

They only way in which they are "out of date" is that they're only 32bit, I think.

They are still amongst the top of their class, regardless of if we talk about freeware or payware!

There's no delay like NastyDLA.

Well, yes, they're outdated in the sense they're 32 bit only, it'd be nice to have some internal oversampling going on too though.

If the Pro's dont use oversampling or dont care about, why should we

[heavymetalmixer]

I vote for good oversampling too.

[MogwaiBoy]

+1 for oversampling. Aliasing is not analog. TDR do it right.

Nasty Delay and VBL Thrillseeker. Would love to be able to use those again in my 64bit DAW.

4x oversampling ? you can't be serious!

Lol still, oversampling (to me atleast) is pretty overrated. I have never used overampling. Not ONCE! I make music for humans, not bats.

Ey man, got no dogs in this fight, just impulse memeing... by default I let the developers descern if it's a good thing for their specific product or not...then later one can of course analyze how it's impelemented and what the results are and what not...if one so choose.

In this case I'll be overjoyed if I won't need to bridge the x86 versions of my favorite VOS plugins anymore...anything more than that I currently have no way to quantify in words.

Hmm, I wonder if he's going to update them in what was it, Flowstone? or if they will be re-written.

I think they were originally Synthedit or something like that, but Flowstone is the new name for it now. Much as Synthedit/Flowstone looks like making a plugin out of Lego (a compressor module here, an eq module there, a dash of hi/low pass filters, ta-daaaa new plugin) I've read of many devs who use/used that technology as a framework and hand-coded the actual DSP in C++.

Well, let's see.
