Noisebud releases Leaky4 - added phase rotation to the leak

Noisebud has released Leaky4, the latest version of their stereo leak plugin. Leaky is a simple but powerful tool that lets you route a filtered portion of one stereo component (Left, Right, Sum/Mid, or Difference/Side) into another. That's all it does — and that's why it has become one of Noisebud's most used and appreciated plugins. The original idea for Leaky came from a mastering session where the sub frequencies (20–30 Hz) were out of phase. Every conventional tool destroyed the low end, so the developer built Leaky to solve that problem — by moving the left channel to the sum, without affecting the rest of the signal. The result was a perfectly locked-in sub, and Leaky was born. Since then, Leaky has found use in all kinds of mastering and mixing contexts, especially for controlling stereo width in very specific frequency areas. For example, widening the stereo image without touching the Mid, or narrowing it to focus a vocal and strengthen the phantom center. What's new in Leaky4 Phase Rotation on the leak path – the main new feature, offering much finer control over how the leak interacts with the destination. Anti-Flutter – remove transients from the leak, making it easier to blend smoothly. Plus various enhancements to the signal path for easier previewing changes. Straight talk: Leaky doesn't 'process' audio in the broad sense. It simply routes filtered portions of one stereo component into another. That simplicity is the reason it can be both transparent and transformative. Price & Availability Patreon: Available to active Patrons from $6/month.
