The landscape of Effect VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins

1. Reverb Plugins: Add ambiance and spatiality to audio tracks, simulating the sound of real-world environments, such as concert halls, rooms, or plates.
2. Delay Plugins: Create rhythmic interest and depth by repeating audio signals, with adjustable delay times, feedback, and filtering.
3. Distortion Plugins: Add grit and character to audio tracks, simulating the sound of overdriven amplifiers, tubes, or analog circuits.
4. EQ Plugins: Adjust the tone and frequency balance of audio tracks, with parametric, semi-parametric, or graphic EQ options.
5. Compression Plugins: Control the dynamic range of audio tracks, reducing loud signals and amplifying quiet ones.
6. Chorus Plugins: Create rich, layered sounds by adding multiple voices or emulating the sound of a chorus.
7. Flanger Plugins: Add a sweeping, watery effect to audio tracks, creating a unique, psychedelic sound.
8. Phaser Plugins: Create a sweeping, filter-like effect, often used to add interest to static sounds.

• IIR vs. FIR Filters: The math behind EQs.
• Convolution: The technology behind impulse responses (IRs) used in realistic reverb plugins (e.g., Altiverb, Waves IR-L).
