Codec

Codec is a unique sound destruction tool designed to degrade sound through internet compression algorithms. Unlike traditional plugins that mimic old school degradation like vinyl, tape, or cassette, Codec offers a modern twist. Essentially, Codec acts as a container for an audio compressor, allowing you to compress and decompress your sound in real-time in your preferred DAW. Unique features include the ability to simulate a poor internet connection ("Packet Drop") and apply massive gain to the frequency of your choice for a crunchy effect. Additionally, Codec offers different modes ("voice", "music", and "low-latency") that respond to incoming sounds in unique ways. Other features include bitrate adjustment for real-time packet size constraint, bandwidth selection, coloration option, packet loss simulation, and a funky visualizer. The interface is fully vectorized and resizable for user convenience. Codec is compatible with Windows (VST3) and OSX (Intel / ARM: VST3, AU). To experience the true potential of sound degradation, choose Codec.
