Reckless Doubler
v0.21One performance on one speaker and a copy a few tens of milliseconds late on the other, its timing drifting slowly, so one part sounds like two takes.
From the user guide
Setting it up
A stereo input is summed to one signal. The dry side is your input untouched; the copy is all it adds. Use a stereo track: with one output channel only the dry is heard. The defaults double-track a part as they stand; Side swaps the copy over smoothly, even while playing.
Controls
| Close-up | Control | Range | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Delay | 10 to 50 ms | 30 ms | How far behind the dry the copy plays. |
 | Depth | 0 to 5 ms | 3 ms | How far the copy’s timing wanders either side of Delay. |
 | Rate | 0.03 to 3 Hz | 0.1 Hz | How quickly the copy’s timing wanders. |
 | Output | -12 to +12 dB | 0 dB | The level of both sides together. |
 | Side | Left / Right | Right | The speaker that carries the copy; the other plays the dry. |
Tips
- Shorter is thicker, longer is wider. A short Delay fattens a part; a long one makes it plainly a second voice.
- Slow and shallow is a second take. Raise Depth and Rate together and the copy’s pitch wanders audibly, toward chorus.
- Depth at zero is a fixed, mechanical double: a reference for what the drift adds.
- Check in mono. Summed, the two sides comb-filter, more at short delays.
