Voxengo Shumovick 2.0 creative noise-padding plugin released

[Aleksey Vaneev]

April 16, 2022: Voxengo is pleased to release Shumovick 2.0, a creative dynamic noise-padding effect plugin for professional music production applications, available in AAX, AudioUnit, VST and VST3 plug-in formats, for macOS and Windows computers.

Shumovick is a renamed and improved version of CRTIV Shumovick. It features the following changes:

* Redesigned the user interface.
* Added the "Pre-Delay" and "Stereo" parameters.
* Made the "Dry Mute" switch persistent: its state is not affected by preset loading using plug-in's preset features.
* Updated the noise generator to PRVHASH 4.3.
* Changed noise gain range to -30..12.



Shumovick plug-in for professional music production applications produces a creative dynamic noise-padding effect. This effect is most effective on beats and synth sounds used in electronic music production: EDM, hip-hop, and many others. The noise-padding effect created by this plug-in is correlated to the spectral content of the sound being processed.

As a result, on beats, this creates mellow noise bursts that make bassdrum sounds a lot softer, with a bit of stereo-field enhancement effect. On synths, on the other hand, such noise-padding effect may boost the power and density of the sound. Shumovick can be also effective when used on sterile-sounding basslines where it can add a bit of “pillowy” noise background. In practice, Shumovick can be also used on acoustic drum buses adding “vintage” feel and aggression to them. When used on a full mix lightly, Shumovick can add a slight “vintage” feel to the sound, make it slightly rougher, and add a stereo-widening effect: this is reminiscent of what a reel-to-reel tape and vinyl recording media does to the sound, naturally.

Shumovick is a relatively CPU-demanding effect plug-in, so it requires a higher-end computer processor for a comfortable use. However, the CPU requirements can be lowered by adjusting plug-in’s processing band count.

Shumovick features:

* Noise-padding signal envelope controls
* Noise-padding signal equalization
* Selectable processing band count
* 64-bit floating point processing
* Preset manager
* Undo/redo history
* A/B comparisons
* Contextual hint messages
* All sample rates support
* Zero processing latency
* User interface color schemes
* Resizable interface
* Retina and HighDPI support

Shumovick is available for purchase online for US$49.95. Shumovick is free for Premium Membership owners. Discontinued CRTIV Shumovick can be upgraded to Shumovick for US$9.95. 20% OFF sale is currently in effect!

Fantastic update! I had been using the CRTIV version followed by Sound Delay for a 13ms delay and MSED stereo widening to emulate the maat fidef psychoacoustic effect. Using Shumovick is way better because it can be used as a send, with a lot more control and flexibility.
Now it's all in one... sweet! Thank you Aleksey!
Here's a screenshot of my fidef emulation settings as an fx send. The key is to be subtle and keep the meters between -48 and -24. It doesn't work well on everything (slow classical for example) but when it does work it is quite cool.

Thx for update nice GUI

[MogwaiBoy]

Pre-delay and Stereo are nice additions!

Can the GUI colours be customised? Will investigate.

Looking forward to the CRTIV Chorus update

Just dropping by to say thanks, the new Shumovick is awesome for subtle stereo widening and adding organic punch to the sound. Have a Happy Easter, Aleksey.
