Air-G Plugins Collection is a collection of VST3 audio plugins built on the open source work of Airwindows, Chris Johnson’s ongoing project that has been releasing some of the most respected free DSP algorithms in the audio world. The collection started from a simple idea: take some of those algorithms and present them with a custom graphical interface that makes daily work more comfortable and visual. Not to replace or improve on Chris’s code, but to build on it: adding meters, displays, presets, and complementary controls that expand the possible uses without changing the underlying sound. The simplicity and lightness that characterize Airwindows are the starting point and the guide behind every design decision.

Depending on the tool, each plugin adds some combination of real-time level and gain reduction meters, interactive displays showing the actual frequency response, presets organized by instrument and use case, M/S processing, parallel compression controls, DAW tempo sync, sidechain filters, animations that reflect the state of the processing, and A/B comparison controls. All designed to make the Airwindows sound easier to explore and integrate into a real workflow.

The collection covers five areas:

Compression and dynamics: four compressors with distinct personalities — Pop! for transients and punch, Pulse for gluing buses and full mixes, Velvet for soft cohesion and spatial depth, Volt for the bus with a range that goes from transparency to envelope distortion. All four have a Mini version: same engine, compact 500-series rack module-style interface.

Clipper and de-esser: Clip combines two clipping modes in a single plugin with Delta monitoring. Dess detects sibilance by waveform shape rather than frequency targeting, with unusual precision on vocals and bright material.

Equalization: EaseQ is a four-band EQ with wide, musical Bezier curves, an interactive display, and an AIR button. Prism is a six-band graphic EQ with fixed frequencies, strong inter-band isolation, and draggable nodes.

Tape saturation and time effects: Tape is the full tape emulation, with head bump, flutter, three-band EQ, and 48 presets. Taped is the focused saturator, warmth and high-frequency compression with M/S processing. Taped Mini is its compact version. Echoes is the varispeed tape delay with DAW tempo sync and an HPF in the feedback loop. Mods brings four modulators (Chorus, AutoPan, Tremolo, Vibrato) into a single selector.

Reverb: Spaces brings together 16 reverbs from Airwindows’ k-series in a single plugin: rooms, halls, plates, chambers, and imaginary spaces, with Pre Delay and HPF always available and four memory slots for instant comparison.

Every plugin comes with a manual in both Spanish and English, written in musical language without technical jargon.
