zam-plugins is a collection of LV2/LADSPA/VST/JACK audio plugins for sound processing developed in-house at ZamAudio. The default settings and almost every slider is calibrated to standard ranges. A big thankyou to falktx for writing Distrho Plugin Framework. It has enabled me to make these GUIs for zam-plugins quickly and neatly. Also thanks to mira, nphilipp, adi, edogawa and Haskellfant who helped package the software for different distros!
Plugins:
ZaMaximX2:
One of the best plugins in the series, this acts as a brickwall limiter for mastering in its default state, but can also be tweaked to raise the average level as a stereo maximizer without ever clipping. Sounds musical even with rough treatment. (Based on DSP found in a DAFX’02 paper).
ZamAutoSat:
An automatic saturation plugin, has been known to provide smooth levelling to live mic channels.
You can apply this plugin generously without affecting the tone.
ZamComp:
A powerful mono compressor strip. Adds real beef to a kick or snare drum with the right settings.
ZamCompX2:
Stereo version of ZamComp with knee slew control.
ZamEQ2:
Two band parametric equaliser with high and low shelving circuits.
ZamGEQ31:
31 band graphic equaliser, good for eq of live spaces, removing unwanted noise from a track etc.
ZamHeadX2:
HRTF acoustic filtering plugin for directional sound.
ZamPhono:
A collection of phono filters for restoring vinyl records, or preparing to cut new ones.
ZamGate:
Gate plugin for ducking low gain sounds.
ZamGateX2:
Gate plugin for ducking low gain sounds, stereo version.
ZamTube:
Wicked distortion effect. Wave digital filter physical model of a triode tube amplifier stage, with modelled tone stacks from real guitar amplifiers (thanks D. Yeh et al).
ZamDelay:
A simple feedback delay unit with sync-to-host BPM feature and filter.
ZamDynamicEQ:
A dynamic equalizer that changes its gain based on detecting a narrow band of frequencies. Can be tuned to alter other frequency ranges on-the-fly.
ZaMultiComp:
Mono multiband compressor, with 3 adjustable bands.
ZaMultiCompX2:
Flagship of zam-plugins:
Stereo version of ZaMultiComp, with individual threshold controls for each band and real-time visualisation of comp curves.
Ever since I got the ZaMultiCompX2 plugin, I have never used (other) compressor. It has independent gain control attack and release with knee makes it versatile and superior. You can make it a dinosaurs and eat up annoying frequency and use it as a way of EQ.
