@ -7,11 +7,15 @@ without affecting its spectral content. This effect can be used to emphasize
transients and other parts of a sound that in a way that isn't possible with
regular equalizers or dynamics processors, especially when applied to low
pitched or wide band sounds. More extreme settings will make everything sound
like a cartoon laser beam, or a psytrance kickdrum. If you are experimenting
with those kinds of settings, then you may want to consider temporarily placing
a peak limiter after the plugin in case loud resonances start building up. Or
maybe you'll want to check out [Safety Limiter](../safety_limiter), which is
made for this exact purpose.
like a cartoon laser beam, or a psytrance kickdrum.
Because this plugin lets you crank every parameter up to 11, you may want to
avoid rapidly sweeping the frequency parameter down all the way to 5 Hertz when
you have many filter stages enabled. Because of the way these filters work, this
may cause comparatively loud resonances in the 0-15 Hertz range. In that case
you may want to use a peak limiter after this plugin until you understand how it
reacts to different changes, or maybe you'll want to check out [Safety
Limiter](../safety_limiter), which is made for this exact purpose.
This is a port from https://github.com/robbert-vdh/diopser with more features
and much better performance.
