Freedom Base

Liberate your baseline.

Freedom Base is an audio effect plugin designed to clarify your low end.

It does this using intelligent multiband dynamics and saturation that you can dial in quickly—because it's automatic.

Features

• Four low-frequency bands, with solo ("S") button for each
• Automatic threshold—use the "Compression" knobs to control how far the threshold rides below the peaks in your signal
• Pre-programmed attack timing designed to preserve transients
• Variable release time
• Simple multiband gate with adjustable range up to 6dB
• Subtle multiband saturation with automatic gain-staging on each band (oversampled if project sample rate is below 80kHz)
• Parallel processing via dual gain-matched dry/wet mix controls for dynamics and saturation
• Automatic make-up gain to match perceived loudness
• Mid-side processing (100% unlinked)

How to use

• Set the Release time to best match the groove of your material
• Turn up the Compression dials for more punch, but avoid choking off any sustained low-frequency tones
• Click the gain reduction display for instant A/B test (still uses CPU as if plugin activated)
  
• Double-click to reset a dial to its default value, or hold <CTRL>/<CMD> to fine-tune
• Use Freedom Base on your master bus or on individual low-end tracks

• Available in VST3 format for PC, and VST3 & AU formats for Mac. AAX support coming soon
• Requires a compatible Digital Audio Workstation or other plugin host
• Crossover frequencies not user-adjustable
• 15ms latency from perfect-reconstruction crossover filters
  
• No external sidechain capability
• Plugin is designed for common audio signals such as music and voice; may not react meaningfully to artificial test signals such as chirps, impulses or bursts
