This plugin hasnt been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.
Since the sound of an analogue tube amplifier has always exerted a strong fascination, electrical circuits with tubes play a certain role in the world of audio engineering up to now. On the other hand, audio technology becomes more and more digitised. In many cases, digital models emulate real devices in such a way that differences in sound are hardly audible. In this work a model is developed which is able to emulate the typical sound of a tube amplifier on digital devices. Here the main focus is on preamplifiers with triodes, since they have a particular influence to the sound.
Based on the physical properties of real tubes, a tube model is developed first. This mathematical model includes results of theoretical studies as well as analysis of data sheets. The model is then used to implement an entire amplifier circuit. In addition to the tube itself amplifier circuits contain several passive elements. In the domain of digital signal processing the latter are described by finite difference equations, which are solved recursively.
The resulting algorithm is finally implemented as a VST plugin in order to examine its tonal properties. The behavior of the digital model corresponds satisfactorily to real amplifier circuits. Important sound effects of analogue tube amplifiers can also be attested to the digital model. The VST plugin can be downloaded at the end of this page.
In this circuit, cathode biasing is used to adjust the bias point of the tube. This is realised by a resistor (Rc) and a capacitor (Cc), placed between the cathode and ground. The effect of cathode biasing can then be modeled by a simple first order RC low pass filter, with Ic*Rc being the input of the filter, and the cathode voltage (Uc) being the output.
The input signal (green) has an amplitude of 1 V. The first stage amplifies the signal almost linear (red). Since the input amplitude of the second stage is already very high, this stage is no longer able to amplify the signal linear. As a consequence, there are strong distortions in the output signal caused by tube cut-off and grid current (blue).
PS: On a lark I ran the Phi-L Tube Preamp VST through my 12AU7 tube preamp and what came out was a nasty sound, like hard clipping, even with the gain reduced. However, it sounds fine when bypassing the preamp and going straight into the amp. So does the digital distortion of 12AU7 harmonics addition, combined with the harmonic distortion of the actual 12AU7 tubes (cathode follower plus gain stage, phase inverting), lead to hard clipping?
Brilliant plugin! For free, this is absolutely amazing! This plugin sounds much better than many commercial tube preamp plugins! Could You please in the future implement oversampling or any kind of antialiasing? That is all that it needs to be perfect. If possible, a short, simple PDF manual would be very helpful. Please do not abandon this truly wonderful project! Thank You very very much ?
The best way to embed a WordPress iFrame is to use a plugin. The iFrame plugin on the WordPress.org repository will give you the best results. This plugin offers the same features as embedding an iFrame but is generated via a simple to use shortcode.
We hope these tips help you embed WordPress iframes and allow you to share content across domains. Embedding an iFrame in WordPress can be easily accomplished with or without a plugin. By following the simple steps outlined in this blog post, you can seamlessly integrate external content into your website while maintaining a user-friendly experience for your visitors.
Hey Andy, I have a bunch of videos on my website already. All embedded by just copy-pasting the embed code from YouTube. Your process requires me to put the div class around every video to work. That would unfortunately take a lot of time. Is there any way to make all the videos I already have become responsive without using any plugin?
Thanks.
With this plugin, you can create YouTube galleries, Vimeo galleries, and mixed galleries that contain videos from both platforms. Once created, there are plenty of design options to choose from, so you can create a video gallery that matches the look and feel of your website.
Smash Balloon aims to be a simple, easy-to-install, and superfast WordPress video plugin. It's built "with performance in mind" so that it doesn't slow down your pages or negatively impact search rankings.
How you might ask? Unlike other video plugins for WordPress that automatically load the video player on the webpage, Smash Balloon only loads it if the visitor starts to engage with the video feed. This improves your page speed and helps you rank higher on search engines.
Envira Gallery is a video gallery plugin that comes with a drag-and-drop page builder. Using one of its premade templates, you can easily create video galleries in no time and customize their appearance. You can even add watermarks to your videos to strengthen the privacy of your content and make sure competitors can't copy it as their own.
This WordPress video plugin lets you add advertisements to your content at different points of the video. You can show an ad at the start of the video, in the middle, or at the end. That way, you can time up your marketing messaging and display an ad that's relevant to the content being shown in the video.
This WordPress video plugin is geared specifically towards YouTube videos. It lets you build your own video playlists and you can choose how you want to play them back on your website. For example, you can generate playlists based on username or search text.
All-in-One Video gallery is exactly what it sounds like. It's a WordPress video plugin that supports all types of videos and video-hosting services. You can upload videos from your own files or use a feed from YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, or Facebook.
Elite Video Player is easy to install and comes with some unique features that aren't offered by other plugins on this list. One example is its compatibility with YouTube 360 VR videos. With these videos, you can turn your phone in any direction to see different views shot by an omnidirectional camera. This makes the viewer feel like they're actually in the video while they're watching it.
Another unique feature for this plugin is that it supports Google Drive videos as well as Dropbox videos. You can upload videos to Google Drive then embed them on your website using the Elite Video Player plugin.
The Common Ninja Search Engine platform helps website builders find the best site widgets, apps, plugins, tools, add-ons, and extensions!

but remember to use it with the whitelist plugin too so that other users cant post the bbpress login shortcode and other unwanted shortcodes you dont want in bbpress posts/wordpress comments/buddypress activity/buddypress private messages.
The WordPress security plugin is free to all WordPress users. It is a security suite meant to complement your existing security posture, offering its users a set of security features for their website:
The Sucuri Scanner is in the official WordPress.org plugin repository. It can be installed and activated by a WordPress user with administrative privileges. Keep in mind that you will require WordPress version 3.6 and up.
Once the API key is generated, the plugin will communicate with a remote API service that will act as a safe data storage for the audit logs generated when the website triggers certain events that the plugin monitors. If the website is hacked, the attacker will not have access to these logs. Now you can investigate any modifications (for malware infection) and/or how the malicious person gained access to the website.
The plugin uses the administrator email and the domain name of the site in order to generate an API key (this also applies for subdomains). The information communicated through the API interface will be transferred using this key.
A high percentage of the data processed by the API interface is dependent on the WordPress core files, along with the information stored in the uploads folder. That is why a unique installation of the plugin (in the main site) will not work 100% for subdomains installed in different locations.
This is when multiple subdomains are created and there is a unique installation of WordPress per site. In cases like this, each subdomain has its own database so you will need to install the plugin separately for each subdomain. Each subdomain will not be affected by the API key, audit logs, hardening, or any settings applied to the other subdomains.
You will also find the option to Allowlist PHP Files that have been blocked by scrolling down the page. After you apply the hardening in either the includes, content, and/or upload directories, the plugin will add a rule in the access control file to deny access to any PHP file located in these folders.
The plugin alerts you to a Brute Force Attack after it detects more than 30 failed login attempts within an hour. This can also be modified following the above steps, under the Password Guessing Brute Force Attack section.
It is recommended to disable the email alerts for failed logins and enable the alerts for brute force attacks. This will force the Sucuri WordPress plugin to collect all of the failures per hour and send a single email notification.
However, you may wish to upload files for legitimate reasons. If this is so, the file may not be malicious but the plugin does not know this. If you trust the file then you can force the plugin to ignore them in future scans by marking them as fixed.
This section of the plugin offers measures for when your site has been compromised. More information is available on the steps to take when your site has been compromised on our free How to Clean a Hacked WordPress Guide.
