Below you’ll find two general purpose presets for the excellent TDR Nova GE PlugIn. If you did not tried it yet, check out the free “standard edition” over there at TDR. It’s based on Vlad’s Nova 67P freeware and Vlad and Fabien really did some magic with the Nova – a sort of Nova 67P reloaded.
TL;DR: The “insane” mode is just that – insane!
Though, difficult to handle and so here are two carefully crafted presets by Bootsy himself merely as a starting point. Also some links to further presets.
The first one is a general purpose preset for mastering duties. It tames some overshots and balances the frequency spectrum slightly to give a more pleasant alternative to those usual multiband brickwall limiters. The second gives an idea about dynamic equalizing for sweetening tracks. Like famous pre-amp/EQ combos did in the past and still today.
Further links:
- Some more presets can be found in Vlad’s article about the TDR Nova.
- Thread on KVR audio forums.
- Thread on Gearslutz.
If you see more presets floating around on the interweb – please let me know and I’ll gonna add them here!
Seasons greetings,
Herbert

TDR Nova GE has firmly implanted itself as my go-to mixbuss sculptificator. Yeah i just made up that word because neither “go-to mixbuss compression” nor “go-to mixbuss EQ” does it justice.
Thanks guys, working now!
Download links dont work for me
Hi guys,
I wish we could get an update about VoS. It’s been a while since the last plugins came out. Also “variety of light” has more frequent updates these days. Does this mean Herbert does not work on plugins anymore? Herbert if you read this: please just give us an update about VoS 🙂
I highly appreciate your plugins and use them every day! But does this long pause mean, you’re planing to abandon VoS or is it just a hiatus?
Best regards,
Matt
