Restoration plug-ins – Grungelizer
The Grungelizer adds noise and static to your recordings
– kind of like listening to a radio with bad reception, or a
worn and scratched vinyl record. The available parameters
are as follows:
Reverb plug-ins
This section contains descriptions of the plug-ins in the
“Reverb” category.
REVerence (Cubase only)
REVerence is a convolution tool that allows you to apply
room characteristics (reverb) to the audio. This is done by
processing the audio signal according to an impulse re-
sponse – a recording of an impulse in a room or another lo-
cation that is used as a fingerprint of the room. As a result,
the processed audio will sound as if it were played in the
same location. Included with the plug-in are top quality
samples of real spaces to create reverberation. REVerence
also contains an integrated equalizer with a high shelving fil-
ter, a parametric filter and a low shelving filter. You can also
reverse and trim impulse responses and use the integrated
program matrix to automate smooth parameter changes.
Ö REVerence is a plug-in that can be very demanding in
terms of RAM. This is because the impulse responses that
you load into the REVerence program slots are loaded into
RAM in order to guarantee an artefact-free switching be-
tween the different programs.
Parameter Description
Crackle This adds crackle to create that old vinyl record sound.
The farther to the right you turn the dial, the more crackle
is added.
RPM switch When emulating the sound of a vinyl record, this switch
lets you set the RPM (revolutions per minute) speed of
the record (33/45/78 RPM).
Noise This dial regulates the amount of static noise added.
Distort Use this dial to add distortion.
EQ Turn this dial to the right to cut off the low frequencies,
and create a more hollow, lo-fi sound.
AC This emulates a constant, low hum of AC current.
Frequency
switch
This sets the frequency of the AC current (50 or 60Hz),
and thus the pitch of the AC hum.
Timeline This dial regulates the amount of overall effect. The far-
ther to the right (1900) you turn this dial, the more notice-
able the effect.
