I've been enjoying looking at music that I like through a different lens. The #AirwindowsMeter plugin (all OS/format #FOSS and this includes #LinuxAudio) is a new way of looking at mastering. I do not know what criteria was chosen to decide the different rankings for quality, but it does not surprise me one tiny bit that #CLONK! from @axwax would have a tasty score. It's a banging track. #BonkWave #NotBonkWave
@ambientspace @axwax I love how everything Airwindows just leaves me baffled.
@inpc @axwax I’m coming to deeply appreciate most everything about Airwindows. Happy to try and translate.

@ambientspace @inpc

I only tried a few of their plugins so far, and while I was a bit lost at times, loved the results.

@axwax @ambientspace @inpc a really incredible byproduct of his approach to plugin development, including UI and Linux support, is that I can use Airwindows plugins on my S2400 sampler. Friends, that is COOL.

Do you guys have any favorites? There are so so many and I can't use the consolidated plugin in the sampler.

@alisynthesis @axwax @inpc Tube and ToTape8 both make my ears rather happy. You can see tiny wibbles in the sonogram that are being introduced.

@ambientspace very cool. I will definitely try those out in the sampler. Saturation type plugins are so incredibly helpful there.

@alisynthesis @ambientspace @axwax @inpc I'm having a lot of fun with big lush Galactic reverb atm. and trying out the different console emulations.

There is just so many gems in that collection.

@mosgaard @alisynthesis @ambientspace @axwax @inpc Yes! Galactic is AWESOME. Reminds me of the Valhalla stuff.
@fortifieduniverse @mosgaard @alisynthesis @axwax @inpc I know I can get Valhalla to run on Linux with Wine, but I want to keep it all native. Galactic (and TinyVerb) both have really good sounds to offer.

@ambientspace @mosgaard @alisynthesis @axwax @inpc Yes... for sure!

I've not really had very good luck with Wine in general, so I'm very much set on keeping things native.

In fact, I have a tiny Windows 10 machine that has been ripped down to the studs (doesn't even have Windows Update on it) that is there just for the handful of things I can't live without (Fractal Audio editor, a couple of samplers).

But yes... both Galactic and TinyVerb fill nice spots in the line-up.

@fortifieduniverse @ambientspace @alisynthesis @axwax @inpc thanks for making me dive deep in the Airwindows collection! I found a really great Mastering-chain with loudness/clipping, which I had been searching for.

So many awesome plugins!
