“Stabbing Shadows” — a 40-second excerpt, from 0:30 to 1:10. Switch versions while it plays; they stay at the same position and are matched in loudness.
40-second loop · source position 0:30–1:10
Both modes remain compressors: SQUEEZE 60 / RESPONSE 50. VHS adds soft, signal-following static, gentle treble softening and slight shared stereo pitch movement. No pops, clicks or dropouts.
This is a listening build of the new modes, not a calibrated emulation of a particular VHS deck. The released plugin is unchanged. These are pre-rendered, loudness-matched listening files. The main CRUSH demo remains separate.
