Skyline

All plugins have been moved to Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/noisebud

You can get the plugins here for a one-time donation. However, joining Patreon is recommended, even if you only stay for a month ($5). But, if you do not want anything to do with Patreon but still want to use the latest version of a plugin, read on. I will still consider your money as a donation supporting the further development of Noisebud plugins. You do not buy a plugin; You donate about 30 minutes of development time. 

If you get a plugin here rather than from Patreon, the policy for updates looks like this (similar to how things were before Patreon):

 

If you are new to Noisebud plugins:

  • Updates within a year from your donation comes free.
  • After a year, an update will be $5 (to cover administrational costs).

If you donated for a plugin before and want an update:

 

To sum it up

In most cases, you will be better off hop on and hopping off the Patreon campaign, even if you only use one of my plugins. The total for a lifetime of updates probably set you back about $30 – $50, maybe less if you skip the minor updates. And that will give you all my plugins.

Noisebud Skyline is an easy-to-use multi-band stereo image editor for mastering, but, it works amazingly on single instruments during mixing too.

You can easily enhance or create depth in a track with the quick and easily accessible controls and you don’t have to worry that you push it too hard since whatever you do with Skyline you can’t break the mono-compatibility. Skyline consists of three main controls, Spread, Pan and Width. ‘Spread’ will either enhance the ambiance by using the information in the difference channel and spread it out in the stereo-field, or use the information from the sum-channel and spread that out in the stereo-field. The latter is great if you want to up-mix a mono-file to stereo. ‘Pan’ will pan the audio in the selected band and ‘Width’ will either boost the sum or the difference by 2dB without touching the other channel. Watch the video, preferable with headphones to get an idea of this little gem.
