Name for effect that tames loud highs?

I'm trying to develop an effect algorithm and I don't know what to call it. I want it to reduce high frequency noises that have an amplitude above a given threshold, but if high frequencies have an amplitude below that threshold, they should pass through the filter untouched (well, maybe untouched.....

DrumGizmo DRS Kit has samples recorded with brushes (called whiskers in the files)

Spitfire Audio's BBC Orchestra - Newer offering but shows Linux commitment.

What do you mean by "shows Linux commitment"? The only thing at all about Linux that I can find on their site explicitly says that they do not support or encourage the use of their products on Linux.

Re: Hi

I would love to hear what you're doing with your banjo. I "borrowed" a tenor banjo from the neighbors a while back (the short story is that I saved it from being destroyed by their little boys, but a few years later the older daughter wanted to practice it so I gave it back). A while back ...

Re: DragonflyHallReverb user presets?

The dragonfly plugins don't have any feature to save custom presents. What DAW are you using? It might have some way to do that.

The version "OS10.5" seems to suggest MacOS.

Re: First Time User of Ardour

Ardour has generally been very reliable for me. Ardour might have issues with the data transfer rate to the external HDD. Ardour requires the ability to both write and read audio data during recording and playback, so if the data has a lot of hoops to jump through between Ardour and the HDD, that mi...

I'll tip back an imaginary flagon of ginger ale for those who are no longer with us... Some that come to mind are TAERSH, Lyberta, 42low (anybody remember those conversations? I think they're all deleted now), and recently of course that charming young Italian sofia-m who didn't actually exist :lol:

Re: My free SFZ pianos 2.0 stable release

Hi sofia-m ! I've been reading your updates for a while. I finally downloaded the 1.0 versions of these last week. What are the new features in 2.0? From what I can tell, the simulated half pedal and simulated incremental soft pedal are new. Are the samples mostly the same, with updates to the size ...

Re: Plugin development philosophy

GMaq or anybody else who uses TAP Tubewarmth or Calf Bass Enhancer, do you tend to set it for more tube-style or tape-style saturation, or somewhere in the middle, or do you use a variety of settings depending on context? Calf Bass Enhancer uses the terms "2nd" and "3rd" harmoni...
