Scheps Parallel Particles

the docs

Takeaways

  • incorporates 4 different types of parallel processing (Sub, Air, Bite, Thick)
  • each type can be turned on and off
  • Sub (32Hz to 80Hz) and Air actually synthesize resonances in their respective frequency ranges that don’t exist in the source
  • Bite can make things sound more aggressive, adding more energy and attack to transients
  • Thick adds body, smoothing out the lower mids, sometimes giving the feeling that the mic is closer and the room ambience is darker
  • the plugin is NOT about surgical tweaking, but all about attitude and the emotion you experience when turning the knobs (as much an attitude shaper as a tone shaper)
  • the plugin can be put directly on a track, or on an aux track
  • the input level sensitivity light should be solid YELLOW during the loudest part of the track (can also link with the output level to match gain)
  • Thick and Bite are processed first, then Sub and Air are processed after that
