the Outhouse has announced the release of Inerthia v1.66 and Elatua v0.36. Both are available as VST effect plug-ins for Windows and are priced at €90 / $133 each (Elatua is not yet available for purchase).
Inerthia is a fully-featured compressor made for demanding users.
Features:
- Latency free. Zero ms Latency unless you hit the LAH (Look A Head) 2 ms button. Then it would be 2 milliseconds LAH effectively killing any poor transient you might have had.
- Fast Attack time from 0 ms.
- Fast Release with PDR (Program Dependent Release).
- Variable knee from Soft through Linear to Hard. Very Hard.
- A nice sounding Lowcut filter and Hicut filter with Q knobs so that you can add some bottom or high end to your material. It also has a semi automatic bypass button that lets you double check what you are doing.
- A vintage styled SClip (softclip).
- A very broad Bandpass Side-chain that makes it easy to use as e.g. DeEsser or to get a vintage styled compression. A listen button lets your hear your sidechain signal and while that is engaged a flashing light above the Ratio knob will tell you that you are in "Listening mode".
- A mix parameter to mix the dry signal with the compressed.
- A input gain Trim to adjust for low gain signals or to modify the fixed Threshold (-30dB).
- Works at Sample Rate which gives very nice result. Especially if you belong to the lucky few that gets to use 96kHz or more.
- Two old-style VUs that can be set in 3 ways to display different things. e.g. VU 1 shows Left channel Output and VU 2 shows the Gain Reduction.
- A variable Peak-meter that displays Input, Gain Reduction and Output. It can be set to display from -40dB up to -6dB by simply dragging your mouse up and down in the peak-meter area. Watch the result in the presets area.
Elatua is a VCA / Opto Limiter that has similarities with some of the old classic limiters and compressors. Made to be extremely easy to use.
Features:
- VCA / Opto Compression/ Limiting
- Simple Env knob from Slow to Fast.
- A multi VU that shows either Input, Reduction or Output.
- Works at Sample Rate which gives very nice result. Especially if you belong to the lucky few that gets to use 96kHz or more.
