What are you favorite filter plug-ins?

[Dustin Zahn]

I'm currently using Waldorf D-Pole. I was pleased with it for quite some time but I know now that it just doesn't have the life in it that I am looking for. What are you current favorites?

[audioinjection]

D-Pole, I also like that you can adjust the sample rate and get a dope as 8bit sound.

Anteres Filter. Not really had a chance to check it out properly but its got some neat features. Couldn't get automation to work under SX1, whether this is a dodgy copy or inherent I dont know.Shame if it is...

[Dustin Zahn]

the antares one was cool but it really f*cks with my computer. I just got some OhmBoyz quad filter that is pretty rad, but I'm still open to suggestions.

[Jimfish]

tc filtrator is ok, but im really liking 'tonic' - its included with sx2.2 and i think its about the best sounding native plugin filter so far..

i couldnt bare to use d-pole after using an analogue filter tho, u defo need to check the other options.. in fact i would seriously reccomend going to a shop and testing out a sherman or an mfc42 or somthing - pretty much essential gear in my book ;)

[Jimfish]

tonics got a lil steep filter built in too and u can seriouly **** with the modulation speed too which can get pretty mad

[Dustin Zahn]

Yeah, believe me...a sherman filterbank is on the top of my extremely short list of equipment I plan to buy at some point.

Thought i'd post the obligatory 'comedy' filter-related joke link:

lol...


Sherman is a beast but u should have a look at the Mutronics Mutator!!!

Jimah U SX freak U ;) i'm with ya on the tonic filter.. also feeling the new monologue.. haven't had a chance 2 try the entracer though! :(


Haven't had a real possibility 2 back up what I'm gonna say but I bet the filter in on the Korg Legacy MS20 kicks as*! :)


I still luvvvvvvv the filter in on my trusted old dirty Yamaha CS 15! :)

mutator is gorgeous but also almost 2x the price of the filterbank

antares filter is crap.

i hate it

looks gay,

sounds gay..

urrrghh awful plugin

[herman]

i kinda like the tc filtrator got some good results with that but my mutator is still the daddy though ;)

[RichieV]

ohmboyz filter rocks

[DJZeMig_L]

I never cease 2 b amazed by the native one in Logic.. u can really warp a looping sound/ drums!

[John Ferraris]

PSP84: Delay, has nice filters though IMO

urrrghh awful plugin

have to disagree with you there mark. looks gay ... granted. tweak it right and its evil... sounds fantastic. got some awesome stuff running thru cubase sx 2.2 with the antares filter bank. really raw sounding.

[dirty_bass]

ms20 is very nice

[heavy beats]

cubase's mysterizer and electrix filter factory

[Jimfish]

mysterizer?

cor.. whats that?!??! i cant see it in my copy :(

[heavy beats]

which cubase are u runnin? I think they took it out of sx 2.0.. i had to save the dll files on the old cubase sx before I upgraded.

[Jimfish]

cool, ill check it out.. cheers for the tip off ;)

[yorkie]

the autofilter that comes with ableton life is a great filter that can be controlled really easily. is is possible to use this plug-in in Cubase coz i well like it???

[DJZeMig_L]

Nope U'd have 2 sync via Rewire with cubase, and then play the sounds u want filtered thru ableton!

Mysteron as far as I know Is wicked, it's a perfect "wonky tech" VST i, i resembles the Theremin (slightly). Donne some stuff with it in the past :)

[yeswehavetheright]

Predatohm rocks.
Any other good distortion plugins people use?

[yeswehavetheright]

Whoops! Should have read the title of this thread properly!!

[Dustin Zahn]

Alright, thanks for all your input. I checked out that Ohmboyz Quad Filter thing and it sounds pretty decent...still not great but fun to work with. I tried the antares and thought it was kinda flat. I also felt the TC plug-in was decent but it keeps crashing my computer really bad.

[DJVirulent]

I wasn't a big fan of it. I used it on a few older tracks and it sounds *alright *except for the weird stereo-expansion effect it does for no good reason at all. It's a good concept but it just doesn't sound all that great to me.

The Ohmforce/Ohmboyz Quad Frohmage is what I've been using lately, and it's intuitive and sounds great.

[The Divide]

Sometimes I automate the PSP mastering eq EQ plugin to do some simple high pass filtering. Cheap and cheerfull :lol:

The Antaeres filter does look gay but I have used to as an effect loads of times now, you just have to overcome the dodgy interface. Actually I was quite surprised on some of the sounds I managed to get out of it, never come across a multiband filter before :!:

Bored of D pole now

The MS20 filter is ****ing sick!!!!!!!!

I cant seem to automate the ohmboyz one. Is it just me who has this proplem?

Filtrator is wickid once you manage to un-program it from doing all that modulating. Sounded a bit digital tho.

PSP nitro is similar, all the presets seemed to have LFO's all over the place, once I managed to figure out how to turn them off it turned out to be a little beast.

Reactor has some interesting filters, when you get it on the inserts. Problem is its very cpu hungry and I think it increases the latency on the channel its inserted on!

New to me, gonna check this out now. Thanks
