Body Shifter by CARP Audio

Experience unparalleled creative possibilities in mixing and sound design with Body Shifter by CARP Audio, an innovative spectral processing plugin that lets you reposition the energy distribution of your sounds independently from their pitch. Unlike traditional tools, Body Shifter offers a powerful, intuitive, and entirely new way to sculpt your audio effortlessly.

What is Body Shifter? Body Shifter measures the "Body" of your audio in real-time and allows you to shift it, rapidly repositioning the energy distribution of frequencies without altering the sound's fundamental pitch. This dynamic approach to frequency shaping sets it apart from static or even most dynamic processing methods.

Key Features & Controls: Body Shifter is designed for precise control and ease of use, making complex spectral manipulation accessible.

• SCALE: Adjusts the global frequency scaling of the body in octaves. A value of +1 doubles the body's frequencies, while -1 halves them.
• OFFSET: Shifts the frequency spectrum of the body in Hertz (Hz).
• WIDTH: Enhances stereo depth and creates separation by introducing slight variations in scaling between the left and right stereo channels.
• MIX: Blends seamlessly between the processed signal and the original (dry) signal, allowing for subtle enhancements or extreme effects.
• OUTPUT: Provides gain adjustment for the final processed signal, with a range of -/+ 18dB.
• VIEW: Customizes what is displayed in the spectrum analyzer, giving you visual feedback on your adjustments.

Why Body Shifter is Different: Body Shifter goes far beyond conventional audio effects, offering unique advantages over other common plugins:

• Beyond EQ & Saturation: Unlike static EQ or multiband saturation adjustments, Body Shifter dynamically analyzes and shifts the body of your audio as it evolves, adapting in real-time.
• Not a Frequency Shifter: Traditional frequency shifters add a fixed frequency offset, which can break harmonic relationships and create inharmonic or metallic sounds. Body Shifter, however, measures and reapplies the energy distribution, keeping harmonic relationships intact.
• Superior to Formant Shifters: Formant shifters typically detect and shift specific resonant peaks (formants) and are optimized for speech-like signals. They often struggle with low-end, percussive sounds, complex synths, and can damage transients. Body Shifter uses a powerful Spectral Envelope Extraction algorithm to scale and offset the entire magnitude spectrum, shifting the full tonal balance of any sound without damaging transients, making it highly effective for drums, bass-heavy elements, and complex instruments.
• Dynamic Energy Displacement: Instead of just carving out static space for elements in a mix (like a traditional EQ bell dip) or using spectral ducking, Body Shifter allows you to dynamically displace the energy distribution of an element itself. This means you can shift your sound's "body" to where it sounds most pleasing or where you intuitively intend it to be felt, saving time and fostering creativity.

Ideal Applications: Body Shifter is an incredibly versatile audio plugin suitable for a wide range of tasks:

• Mixing: Repositioning the energy distribution of frequencies for better clarity and separation in your mix.
• Sound Design: Sculpting unique sonic textures and altering instrument character.
• Drums & Percussion: Shifting the body of kicks and other percussive sounds to find the perfect intuitive placement in the mix.
• Vocals: Reshaping vocals for different tonal qualities.
• Low-End Enhancement: Giving your bass-heavy elements and low-end a powerful, defined presence.
• Complex Synths & Instruments: Effectively shifting the tonal balance of complex sounds where other tools might fail.

Performance & Compatibility: Body Shifter is designed to be CPU Friendly, ensuring your creative workflow remains fast, smooth, and uninterrupted. It uses highly optimized code for its algorithms and graphics to minimize calculations, freeing up your system resources.

Compatibility: Available for macOS (VST3 / AU / macOS 10.15 or Up) and Windows (VST3).
