INTERNET Co. has released MS EQ Comp, a free VST effect plugin for Mac OS X and Windows.

MS EQ Comp can encode a standard Stereo (left/right) signal to MS (middle and side) and add EQ and Compressor separately to middle and side, and also edit the volume and pan. The output signal is decoded to Stereo (left/right).

It helps you to correct the stereo image and the sound ambience of the music, or add the effects to the signal of the particular instruments (for example, drums, vocal, narration, etc) on MS basis.

- DC1A received a mix control to enable parallel compression. The VU is now switchable between output and gain reduction.

DC1A is the little brother of Klanghelm's upcoming compression monster DC8C. I've taken one of my favorite settings from DC8C and tried to make it work in a two control context. Soundwise it's comparable to the PUNCH mode in DC8C.

I've always wanted to do a compressor with just an input and output knob, a compressor that just works: gentle, grateful, from almost invisible, smooth leveling to heavy pumping with a nice crunchy saturation and punchy enough to treat drums with.

DC1A looks like a one trick pony. But don't get fooled by lack of further controls. You may be surprised, on how many different material this little thing works. DC1A is heavily program dependent.

DC1A is free! So try it out for yourself.

Changelog:

- v. 1.2.1 – Improved Q values on LM frequency, added double click text to edit values.
- v. 1.2.0 – Improved oversampling.
- v. 1.1.0 – 4x oversampled, improved gain calculations

Sounds that are so wrong they're right

It's easy to lose hours programming that perfect synth patch, but sonic fails can sometimes be turned into big wins. 

This collection of malfunctioning synth sounds includes random and glitched noises that can still be creatively useful, so download them and start exploring.

What you need to know

The malfunctioning synth samples are divided into four folders, each of which is named to give an indication of the sounds contained within it.
