Archive: Gersic.com VSTs

Originally released on the (now defunct) Gersic.com Audio Plugins Database around 2005, this is a collection of VST plugins. A VST (Virtual Studio Technology) is a software standard developed by Steinberg that allows audio plugins to integrate with digital audio workstations (DAWs) for music production, mixing, and audio processing. When loaded into a DAW, they emulate hardware devices without requiring expensive physical equipment.

Pressure Mastering Compressor

Download Pressure Mastering Compressor (download). Have you ever wanted a mastering compressor that was dead easy to use? A compressor that just made things louder without worrying about the best Ratio, Attack, and Release settings for a specific task? A compressor that didn't over-compress attack transients, robbing your track of all the excitement of explosive hits? A compressor that was downright freaky looking?

Well, Pressure is the compressor for you. Using a technique called upward compression, Pressure increases the level of quiet portions in a mix without reducing the level of attack transients like a traditional compressor. There are just 3 parameters: Amount of compression, look-ahead, and gain control. It couldn't be easier.

More Pressure Mastering Compressor

Download More Pressure (download). Have you ever wanted a mastering compresssor that was dead-easy to use? A compressor that just made things louder without having to worry about the best Ratio, Attack, and Release settings for a specific task, but provided a way for adjusting these settings? A compressor that didn't over-compress attack transients, robbing your track of all the excitement of explosive hits? A compressor that was downright freaky looking?

Well, More Pressure is the compressor for you. Using a technique called upward compression, More Pressure increases the level of quiet portions in a mix without reducing the level of attack transients like a traditional compressor. There are just 3 main parameters: Amount of compression, look-ahead, and gain control. If you want to really get freaky, you can use the "tweak" controls. It couldn't be easier.

Preparation P Prepared Piano VSTi

Preparation P (download) is a VSTi collection of 61 high-quality prepared piano samples. I recorded all of these samples on a baby-grand piano, including various strummed strings, plucked strings, and many other sounds of various objects lodged in the strings. Each sample can be tuned individually, and you can also adjust the attack, decay, sustain, and release characteristics of the sound by using the envelope controls.

Tom Pong

Tom Pong (download) is a ping-pong delay VST (Windows) Plugin. A ping-pong delay is a delay that alternates from one speaker to another. If the balance is set to 0.5, a stereo signal will invert itself each time the delay buffer is played back. If the balance is set to either side of 0.5, the signal bounces back and forth between the speakers. Tom Pong can be synced to the host sequencer or sample count can set delay times. Feedback and output levels are also adjustable.
