add some Totally Rad 80s lofi character to your tracks with the baby audio super
VHS plugin I'm Zane from audio tech tv.com and I've included a link in the
description to the baby audio super VHS plugin on plug-in boutique as they can
have some sales over there from time to time for a really good price on this
plugin so if you're interested in adding this VST effect to your home studio be
sure to check that out now let's have a listen to the type of 80s Lofi Saturation
and warmth that this plug-in can add and then after that I'll go over the
controls a little bit and then we'll have even more audio tests
alright now let's check out some of the super VHS plugin controls you can
actually look at this plugin as six separate effects that are easy to use
and tied together in a loaf I channel strip you have this static control which
generates synthesized noise
keep it all the way to the left to turn it off or gradually go from subtle hiss
to full-on static next is the heat control and I'll tell you why I'm going
in this order in just a bit so the heat control is intended to give you analog
tape saturation but the analog tape sound is inspired by consumer grade tape
machines of the 80s so let's listen to how this sounds
next we have the magic button and yes this one's just a button you turn it on
and you let the magic of this widening effect go to work it's based on the
chorus effect that's found on classic juno synthesizers and if you just want
this effect alone you can get the free plug-in from baby audio called magic
switch it's just this button and a mix control now let's listen to what this
effect sounds like
the drift effect is a pitch fluctuation LFO designed to add an unpredictable
time and pitch shifting effect to your source now let's listen to that
and now right in the middle we have the wash knob and it certainly doesn't clean
up your audio it's based on a bad hall reverb that's inspired by budget-priced
reverb rack units from the 80s
so the reason why I'm going in the order that I did is because this is how the
signal chain goes within this super VHS plugin you can see in this diagram how
it flows and there are a few things that are added which you can't control the
value of like a high shelf filter curve a limiter and bit crusher now the final
part of the signal flow goes through the mix control and this allows you to
adjust how much of this effect you want to add to the output control that
controls the level of the audio exiting the plugin now let's give the baby audio
super VHS plug-in a listen again on a few more tracks
