Tokyo Dawn Labs has introduced a new bundle of 4 specialized audio plugins: TDR Special Filters.

TDR Infrasonic offers precise control over the near-inaudible lowest frequency regions of a mix. It consists of a continuously variable slope filter, min and mixed phase modes, and mix control. It also includes a dynamic bump and a set of harmonic exciters meant to compensate for the perceived energy loss introduced by the filtering.

TDR Elliptical is a modern, state-of-the art elliptical equalizer. It’s an ideal choice whenever low frequency stereo positional information requires control. A continuously variable slope filter with min and linear phase modes, advanced perceptual filtering and mono-summing compensation tricks help preserve the musical impact from input to output.

TDR Ultrasonic helps control the effects of ultrasonic build-up in wide bandwidth processing chains. A linear phase filter with a continuously variable slope, a mix control, and dynamic Ultrasonic Gate options allow to transparently block inaudible content and thereby achieve a lower total distortion in the audible spectrum, at the end of the chain.

TDR Arbiter is a remarkably flexible frequency-selective spectral balancer. The effect is independent of the input signal level, making it an optimal choice for de-essing, plosive control, or overall manipulation of the frequency balance, all without affecting the original signal dynamics structure.

Available for Windows and Mac in VST/VST3, AU and AAX formats, the plugins are on sale at the Tokyo Dawn Labs store and from distributor Plugin Boutique at a 40% discount until November 28th, 2023.

Also released is TDR Prism, a modern frequency analyzer with a focus on human audio perception.

TDR Prism

Easy to use and configurable, this audio plugin gives precise insight into the spectral properties of a signal. Among its flexible audio sourcing, decoding and visual configuration possibilities, Prism features a wide range of spectral weighting/tilting methods, peak/RMS smoothing options, including human auditory filters and real-time indication of auditory masking.

Prism is able to visualize and compare spectra from various sources, be it audio files, regular and sidechain inputs, or even other Prism instances in the project.

Prism is a free download at the Tokyo Dawn Labs website.
