Crossover Vst Plugin
What is it?
In case the VST needs a refresher, a retrigger button is embedded coupled with a simple level visualizer. Although this plugin may take up a good amount of CPU and be a little more on the costly side, it’s definitely a great investment for those producers looking to take their transient crafting to the next level. Free VST Plugins are one of the most exciting things about mixing. In the past it was impossible to imagine that so many quality tools could be available at no cost. Today there are more great free plugins. By Wavesfactory. Trackspacer is an award-nominated plugin that. The HoRNet 3XOver is a very peculiar plugin since it’a half a DJ eq, half a three band crossover with selectable slope and output for each band. At it’s core there is a system of three filters, a low-pass, for. Metaplugin is a plugin that loads other plugins. As simple as that. Build your own effect networks with this plugin wrapper using any VST/VST3 (and AU, if you’re on Mac) effect you already have on your harddisk. To get you started, a Mid-Side matrix, a fourband crossover filter and a routing plugin are included in the package.
Metaplugin is a plugin that loads other plugins. As simple as that. Build your own effect networks with this plugin wrapper using any VST/VST3 (and AU, if you’re on Mac) effect you already have on your harddisk. To get you started, a Mid-Side matrix, a fourband crossover filter and a routing plugin are included in the package. This means instant cross-track routing, mid-side, multiband compression/distortion/reverb/… you name it. Of course that’s only the beginning… let your imagination run free, nothing is impossible, from creating your own layered synth sounds to building whole sound generators from scratch using simple modules.
Another favourite use case for Metaplugin is to load VST plugins in Pro Tools (or to load AudioUnits in Pro Tools if you’re on a Mac). Hence, you can use it as a VST to AAX wrapper or an AU to AAX wrapper. While we’re at it: you can also use Metaplugin to load VST plugins in Logic/LogicX (VST to AU wrapper), or AU plugins in Cubase (AU to VST wrapper).
- Effect version supports up to eight individual channels for, e.g. surround or other multichannel purposes.
- Instrument version featuring 16 stereo output buses for all conceivable routing purposes using multichannel instruments
- Double precision audio processing when supported by DAW and plugin format (not for Audio Units)
- Additional stereo sidechain input
- Convenient plugin organizer: scan your plugins once, then just drag and drop them onto the graph area
- Internal bridge from 32 to 64 bit, with seamless plugin window integration: load 32 bit plugins in ProTools or LogicPro X without the need for a 3rd party bridging solution
- NEW since v3.4: internal bridge from 64 bit to 32 bit too!
- Support for native Apple Audio Unit plugins
- Dry/wet ratio can be adjusted for each loaded plugin.
- Individual bypass for each loaded plugin
- Full plugin delay compensation included.
- Automate up to 100 parameters by mapping them on any parameter of a loaded plugin
- Negligible additional CPU overhead.
- Synths can also be loaded and played with any MIDI control, which means you can create custom synthesizers with existing building blocks.
- Up to 8x oversampling option of the whole signal chain is available.
- Included: mid-side matrix, multiband splitter and cross track send/receive helper plugins.
- Define your own colour palette for the plugin: check!
- Freely resizable plugin window for maximum convenience: check!
- Can be used as a VST (2 or 3) to AU wrapper, a VST (2 or 3) to AAX wrapper or an AU to AAX wrapper.
Honestly, we can’t think of any reason not to own this baby! Available for Windows (32/64 bit VST/VST3 and AAX) and Mac OSX (32/64 bit VST/VST3/AU/AAX, 10.7 or higher needed). As always, we strongly recommend to check out the demo version (settings not saved, but further fully functional) to see whether it fits your needs!
Testimonials
YES! YES! YES! Have been waiting years for a FX chainer with PDC and finally it’s here! Also the modular design just puts other FX chainers to bed! You can pratically process (multi/paralell) anything in anyway with this thing now properly with PDC! THANKS DDMF!

So now I can use any of the compressors I have as a multiband for mastering and on drums? That’s freaking awesome. Gotta try it out tonight.

Software and VST plugins (start here)
My softwares are of two kinds : some are real tools (measuring your speakers, room correction, crossover for real loudspeakers,…) and other do what is called auralization : it’s a real time simulation of some electroacoustic phenomens. Most of those softs let you check if something is audible or not. You can listen, modify some parameters in real time and find if it is audible or not. Stop reading everybody’s argument and listen by yourself. But be carefull, this kind of auralization is different from a real situation : for example, in some of the softwares below, I add reflections. In a real room, small movements of the head help to dissociate those reflections from the direct sound. With a headphone, you cannot do it (unless maybe head tracking and full HRTF simulation) so some effects may be more pronounced with my softs than in real life, sorry…
All softwares can be used standalone, but on Windows only (use the .exe file), or as VST plugin (just use the .dll file)
I invite you to read the corresponding page before downloading and using a soft.
