All processed demos created entirely by using FORTI and SERTI with the Vienna Suite Convolution Plugin (and the VSL Limiter already included in the Vienna Suite).
The limiter was used on some tracks only to quickly adapt output level, not for coloration.
No other plug-ins (either 3rd party or VSL) were used unless specifically indicated.
