Mr. Dusty is a new plugin for vintage warmth, which combines five processing stages: a generative vinyl noise engine, tape-style pitch drift (wow and flutter), bus compression with analog-style saturation, console warmth, and a peak limiter. The controls are deliberately few — Noise Level, Compression, PitchMod, Gain, and a HEAT toggle — which tells you exactly what the design priority is: speed over flexibility.
Carbinated Audio, a small new developer that's clearly not afraid to have a personality, has released Carbonator, a saturation plugin that packages five flavors of circuit-modeled saturation.
