Codec grit with packet loss as the signature.
Codec grit with packet loss as the signature. The lows survive (codecs keep them; the highpass sits at a fixed 80 Hz), the top turns dark and narrow, a 47 Hz level 'swirl' shimmers the sound, and the connection is never quite perfect: a trace of packet loss rides along even at Dropouts 0%, growing gently with Amount. Mono core.
- Amount
- Deepens the codec: crush rate 16 kHz down to 8 kHz, crush depth 12-bit toward 7-bit, the final band closing from 5.5 kHz toward 2.8 kHz, more swirl, and a touch more baseline packet loss.
- Tone
- Scales the final lowpass by ×0.8 to ×1.25, from blanket-muffled to laptop-speaker bright.
- Noise
- VoIP comfort noise. It also fills the mutes, exactly like a real call.
- Dropouts
- The full jitter-buffer kit: mutes, freezes, and "you-you-you" stutters, leaning into the tempo grid while your DAW plays.
