Shy Audio – Shy 90s Channel v1.3.0 for WiN

Bring in all the atmosphere of classic 90s consumer mixing consoles! With Shy 90s Channel, you can work as if you were sitting in a 1996 bedroom studio, tweaking tracks without realizing what you’re doing, but achieving rugged greatness!

EQ

Use the EQ section to sculpt tracks with the broadest brush and dramatically change the tone from soft to truly over-the-top!

• Switchable High Shelf (‘Original’ to ‘Linear’): The original behavior reduces midrange gain while boosting the high shelf.
• Parametric Midrange: This range really loads everything up with huge power reserves.
• Switchable Low Shelf: Can work as a very wide shelf or centered around 30Hz for maximum low-bass power
  

Drive

Capable of pushing any source into intense distortion while preserving the low-end. When combined with the EQ, the Drive creates unique frequency-dependent harmonics, enabling a wide range of overdrive effects.

• Frequency-dependent nonlinearities up to +30 dB! At maximum settings, it introduces a 60 Hz low cut to protect speakers (Low cut can be turned “OFF” by pressing “90s”)
• A unique combination of even and odd harmonics – A smooth response, even when all EQs are maxed out (we really recommend doing so)
• “Flux” introduces subtle L/R variations for a more “analog” feel

The final part of the

The final part of the chain is the Signal module, where you can apply additional filters to even out and modulate the signal. Use the Dry/Wet knob to fully blow your audio and reintroduce some of its original character.

• 12 dB/Oct Low and High Cut filters – phase-aligned Dry/Wet control for the entire signal chain, except for the clean output fader, allowing you to equalize everything to taste
• Mini signal metering, where 0 VU means you’re close to the ideal input, and a red OL means: it’s getting tasty
