This is a free plugin for owners of Focusrite interfaces. I missed this one as it was available in January. Unfortunately it only has one week left to download/activate before it expires, April 14th.

Plug-in Collective: Baby Audio - Parallel Aggressor


This month’s exclusive Plug-in Collective community giveaway is Baby Audio’s Parallel Aggressor, for Mac and Windows. Normally sold for $49.00, Parallel Aggressor is free to download for Plug-in Collective members from 20th January to 14th April (4pm GMT).


Parallel Aggressor from Baby Audio

Unlock unparalleled powers with Parallel Processing, which plays a fundamental role in getting a punchy mix sound. It works by duplicating the same track into multiple copies and processing each duplicate with different levels of intensity. By blending these duplicates together, you can add more power while still preserving your track’s natural dynamics.

The plug-in hosts three parallel busses internally: Dry is your original signal, Spank is heavily compressed duplicate, and Heat is a heavily saturated duplicate of the original audio signal. Combine all three signals to squeeze every drop of sonic juice out of your track.


A closer look at the engines

SPANK ENGINE:

Parallel Aggressor’s ‘Spank’ track is processed by an addictively punchy compression algorithm, designed to adapt to your audio signal — dial-up the Spank fader to get extra punchy transients.

HEAT ENGINE:

Parallel Aggressor's ‘Heat’ track is processed by a warm, analog modelled, saturation algorithm with an aggressive bite. Get a fuller signal with added harmonics with the Heat fader dialled-up.

AUTO GAIN:

Auto Gain ensures that the combined output of the plug-in’s three signals roughly matches the input/dry level. This allows you to experiment with different internal mix balances while keeping a consistent plug-in output.

Thanks Steve,

Got it, link to download on their email didn't work, so downloaded demo from their site and then used the Focusrite redeem code to activate.

Thanks for the tip. That may be the better route. I had to send a second email after the first hour of the first one not showing up, then I got the .ZIP. Your way sounds more instant.

This is a very cool tool.

I tried it on the master bus of a song I am mastering.

Much more subtle than I thought it would be, and it adds some nice flavor.

I will definitely fiddle more. Very cool.
