Flux have released a new freebie plug-in called Stereo Tools for RTAS, AU and VST (Windows and OS X). Stereo Tool offers controls and visual feedback for the stereo stage.

From the Flux press release

Stereo Tool features ultra precise controls of input gain and individual pan for left and right channels. A phase inverter is available for each channel. A global stereo pan and a stereo width setting are also implemented to complete the management of the stereo signal.

Stereo Tool also offers an accurate visual feedback reflecting the signal content. A vector scope display, Peak meters for both inputs and outputs, and a phase correlation meter permanently monitor the signal.

As all Flux:: plug-ins it features 64 bit floating point processing, up to 8 FS (384 KHz).

In a previous post I talked about podcasting on a budget. There are a lot of good cheap stuff out there, but for those of you swimming in dough, here’s a post on some more high-end podcast gear when money isn’t an object.

… And a final futzy part. Same instrumental settings, but relies more on the synth than the two previous clips.

Sometimes all you want is a little futz. This is lo-fi hard banging drums run through a crappy sounding reverb, a synth and some futz. Two variations.

This is called Organ orgy because it has

• Organs in it (the instrument silly)
• And several of them!

There are also a couple of reversed notes.

… And a third variation.

This is a tension thing. Classical setting with violins, clarinets and so forth.

Since I was a little off on the posts last week I’ve done two clips. The second has timpanis and no violins.
