digitalfishphones plugin Dominion

Another edition of the Free VST give away is here. This is a hot one from the company Digital Fishphones called Dominion. It’s a vst effect that lets you alter and manipulate the attack and release of a sound. Basically how hard or soft you want the sound to hit. This is great for drums, vocals, or anything that you want to cut through the mix of your track. It’s sort of acts as a compressor, but it’s not an all out compressor. Just like most effects the best way to see how it works if to play with it, and I use it alot for added UMMPH on my kick drums..

What is dominion?
If you were searching for a tool to shape the envelope of a signal, giving you total control of the signal’s attack & sustain phase, dominion is certainly something for you!
But it’s got more to offer…

A short overview of the features:

• Envelope section. Adjust attack & sustain independently, regardless of input level. Plus, you have control over the envelopes’ time constants. Imagine pulling a drummer up front or pushing him to the background by dragging just a single slider! Feel like moving the walls around him? Again, a single push enhances the room information or can make the sound really dry.
  Imagine doing things like this with other instruments as well…
• Saturation stage. Following digitalfishphones tradition, the plugin can help to reduce harshness often associated with digital recordings, giving back some warmth and life to your source by modelling classic analog equipment. The tonal character stays adjustable within a broad range.
• High frequency details section. Similar to classic exciter circuits, this section allows you to brighten up a signal, giving transparency and depth by generating additional harmonics.
• Non-clipping output stage. Like the endorphin compressor, a brickwall waveshaper circuit ensures that the output won’t exceed -0.1dBFS, while remaining sonically clean.

The full working principle can be read in the user’s manual that is included in the download file.
I would definitely recommend that you read through the sections in order to fully understand the concepts and their potentials.
