Sup guys! My name is TEK.LUN and I am a producer/composer who's been making beats and producing for roughly 20 years. I spent the last 3 and a half of those years learning C++ and JUCE to build a VST I would have used on pretty much everything.It's called TapeSole. A modular effects chain plugin with 9 modules you drag in any order, with a master panel. I was always juggling ten separate plugins and destroying my little Lenovo's CPU lol, but now I put everything I need into one window.
Here's what's inside:
Analog: console/preamp color, color FX, stereo tools
EQ: 6-band parametric with per-band dynamics and a multiband stereo width mode
Dynamics: four compressor types (FET, Vari-Mu, two opticals)
Drive: four distortion and four saturation engines
SendFX: reverb, delay, modulation, and filter strips, all reorderable
Tape: reel-to-reel tape saturation, wow, flutter, hiss, aging
Vinyl: dust, crackle, pops, wow, warp, RPM control
IR Loader: load your own impulse responses
Degrade: bitcrush, sample-rate reduction, codec-style glitching
Master Panel: real-time pitch shifting, two "one-knob" multiband glue controls, a second 6-band EQ, a limiter/maximizer, a 3-mode clipper, and a built-in 5-minute recorder to drag your processed output straight into your DAW
As a plugin hoarder, I know this vintage channel strip market's saturated, but I built TapeSole to be the one-stop shop I always wanted... I think I cracked the code, but I'll let you be the judge!
VST3 + AU, Windows and macOS (10.15+). $69 standard, or $99 for the bundle that adds all 9 modules as individual standalone plugins.

First time posting here after lurking for years and I would genuinely love you guys' feedback, good or bad. Happy to answer anything about the modules, the workflow, or the DSP.
Cheers!
