One dial, from dry to boosted

0%: original signal

Amount at 0% leaves the signal dry.

0–100%: blend the effect

Raise Amount to blend in the parallel-Haas processing.

100%: fully processed

The processed signal plays at unity gain before the boost range.

100–200%: add gain

The signal stays fully processed while output gain rises to +6 dB at 200%.

PARALLAX is designed for stereo input. Check your mix in mono as you adjust it. The boost range changes level, so compare at a similar listening loudness.

Before you download

Is PARALLAX a free trial?

PARALLAX is listed as a free plugin, not a time-limited trial. A free account is required to install it through the Hub.

Which Mac download should I use?

The current Hub app is built for Apple Silicon. PARALLAX’s Mac plugin files contain Intel and Apple Silicon builds. If you use an Intel Mac, read the installation options before downloading the Hub.

Will it work in my DAW?

You need a compatible plugin host. The packages contain VST3 for Mac and Windows, plus Audio Unit for Mac. These formats do not establish compatibility with every DAW version. See how to choose a format or contact info@liminalloud.com with your DAW, version, operating system and processor.

Where do I find installation help?

The install FAQ covers account access, plugin folders, rescanning, WebView2 on Windows, and the current unsigned Hub downloads.
