Plugin Boutique is offering an exclusive deal on an effects bundle from Baby Audio and Excite Audio, featuring four plugins for less than £50.
You can save over £180 by purchasing the bundle, which features Excite Audio’s Motion: Harmonic and Lifeline Mod, plus Baby Audio’s Crystalline and Super VHS. The offer runs until 6 July.
Plugin Boutique describes these effects plugins as “four of the hottest” on the market right now, so let’s dive a little further into each one.
Excite Audio Motion: Harmonic
This distortion plugin can create “subtle warming and shaping” all the way to “intense modulated signal destruction”, with parameters for distortion, bitcrushing, and filtering. With a hexagonal control area and a reactive 3D object at the centre point of the UI, it offers six macro sliders that can be assigned to control any of its effect parameters. These sliders then react to a ‘magnetic’ cursor whose path can be recorded using mouse movements or drawn graphically.
Excite Audio Lifeline Mod
The Lifeline Mod is a pitch warping tool that revives the “magic of pitch variations” as heard across tape, vinyl and cassettes. The plugin hosts three core modes inspired by each of these physical mediums.
Tape mode introduces subtle pitch modulation where the speed and depth are compensated, and Vinyl mode simulates the warping of a record by “lending a moderate pitch modulation with some speed and depth compensation”. The Cassette mode achieves a more extreme pitch modulation effect as heard on compact-style tapes, left untamed by keeping speed and depth independent.
Baby Audio Crystalline
The Crystalline reverb plugin follows the traditions of classic algorithmic reverbs, but adds “new features and higher fidelity thanks to modern computer power”. You can set the room size from tiny to large, and there is a detached “length” control for any size/length combination you desire. Find out more below:
Baby Audio Super VHS
Inspired by the 1980s, this plugin captures the spirit of a worn out VHS tape. It utilises six effects that come together in a “versatile” signal chain to add lo-fi character and charm to any clean sound. Each effect has a single control, but multiple parameters to experiment with under the hood.
The Baby Audio x Excite Audio bundle is available now for £49. To find out more or shop the bundle, head over to Plugin Boutique.
