Liquid is a through-zero flanger, and excels in adding vintage vibe to your
recordings. From a subtle ADT effect on vocals or electric piano on up to
massive "Jet" style 2-buss flanging, Liquid will bring the classic sound of
real tape machine flanging to your modern DAW.
A normal flanger, at least in today's world, is just a delay line set to
a very short time with some feedback. In "analog" pedals this is done with
a bucket-brigade delay chip, and in DSP-based effects like digital pedals and
plug-ins, it is one of the easiest effects to create. However, the original
flanging effect was created by running two tape machines with the same material
in sync, then varying the speed of one of them (sometimes by actually applying
pressure to the flange of the tape reel with a finger) to cause some rather
extreme and odd comb filtering.
Made popular by George Martin (and used heavily on John Lennon's vocals on
many tracks from Revolver on) and Phil Spector (who used it on, well, just about
everything), it is a classic effect that was difficult to achieve in software.
Until now.
