November Best Free Plugin - 'The Masker' by Cinemystics/LIM 🎛️ (Patreon)

Patrons!

I hope you all had a great weekend.

I am back with the best free plugin for November!

The Masker is a free alternative to commercially released plugins 'Soothe' & 'Trackspacer'.

You can use this bad boy to carve out frequencies of melodics to make space for things like vocals in the mix using the side-chain function. This is essentially dynamic EQ that reacts in realtime to the input signal - resulting in a clean balance between the 2 elements.

This is a must have for your mixing arsenal!

Developer Description:

TheMasker by LIM is a freeware mixing tool inspired by the popular Trackspacer plugin by Wavesfactory.

TheMasker is an automatic frequency masking compensation plugin inspired by popular commercial releases such as Trackspacer.

Simply put, it analyzes the sidechain signal and applies dynamic EQ corrections to the audio target to attenuate overlapping frequencies.

TheMasker does what it promises very well, and it does so with a very simple workflow. All you have to do is load it on the mixer’s track you want to reveal in the mix.

Then, according to your DAW settings, route the sidechain signal to the plugin’s sidechain input.

You’ll find a clear visualization of what the plugin is doing in a handy resizable window.

You can select to visualize either or both the input signal and the sidechain signals in white and yellow, respectively.

The most interesting part is the purple Delta visualization, which shows the frequency range of the spectrum being affected and by what amount in dB.

The Sidechain Level lets you boost or attenuate the sidechain volume entering the effect for finessing the effect.

You can then select to Bury or Reveal either the Masked or the Clear Frequencies.

Typically, you want to bury the masked frequencies and reveal the clear ones.

The Clean Up slider controls the range of the frequency spectrum being affected.
