About PhaseMistress
PhaseMistress is the second in a series of totally cool new plug-ins to come out of
the SoundToys (formally Wave Mechanics) plug-in development lab. As with
FilterFreak, our Analog Filtering module, a truly ridiculous amount of programming
time, head scratching, listening and tweaking has gone into the development and
design of PhaseMistress in order to provide you with an incredibly creative, powerful,
ground-breaking and truly analog-sounding phase shifter.
Special attention has been given to recreating a phase shifter that not only sounds
and responds like a real analog phaser, but one that offers some totally new and
unique features, twists and facilities to phase shifting. Yes folks, you can now fulfill
your wildest analog phasing phantasies with PhaseMistress and we guarantee that it
will do whatever you ask without any complaints!
Our heads are still spinning from all the work we put into this product, (and ALL
SoundToys products) and we are really pleased with the way PhaseMistress works
and sounds …hopefully you will be as well!
What and Who is SoundToys
Ok, so what the heck is "SoundToys" anyway? SoundToys is a concept, a vision, a new
line of totally cool, sonically superior audio FX plug-in devices designed to set a new
standard in regards to plug in processing and sound. And, it’s our new company name.
You see all of us at SoundToys (formerly Wave Mechanics) are a bunch of audio geeks
that thirst for new ways to manipulate and mangle sound that are innovative, unique,
and with sound quality that is in a class all its own.
While everyone and their grandmother is modeling older gear these days, we are busy
wracking our collective brains to develop NEW devices that are truly inventive and
will stand the test of time – the kind of things you’d take with you to a desert island…
Just so you know, we are the guys that were responsible for designing such ground-
breaking and industry standard products as the Eventide® H-3000, DSP-4000, the
Wave Mechanics UltraTools line of plug-ins for Pro Tools TDM. Our DSP algorithms
can even be found in such high-end studio gear as the TC Electronics Fireworx, G-
Force, and G-Major processors, and more.
Our approach in developing the SoundToys series of Pro Tools plug-ins is to create a
series of dedicated processors that provide the absolute best possible sound quality,
flexibility and creative sound manipulation in the wonderful world of digital, but that
also possess that truly analog character and vibe.
