Rack-mount digital delays of the 80s ushered in a new era of audio effects, where the innovative electronic designs generated clean delays that sounded altogether fresh and new, but with special and intriguing sonic characteristics. Decades later, these sounds remain as distinctive and inspiring as ever.
Feed audio into El Capistan, and all the warm and distinctive qualities and subtle nuances of vintage tape echo instantly combine to create an unmistakable atmosphere. Everything from classic slapback echoes to psychedelic feedback explorations have stunning richness and depth, responding to each note and each turn of a knob in a musically-inspiring way. Turn up the repeats for organic delay feedback with just the right amount of grit, or dial in some spring reverb to further enhance the sense of space.
Developed by P.F, the developer of some of the most respected and beloved products in the recording history, including the SSL E / G series consoles, and the mighty SONY OXFORD OXF-3 digital boards. The Dynamic Spectrum Mapper (DSM) plugin is intended to provide multi-dimensional control over both, the spectral response and dynamic characteristics of your audio. The use of novel processing and program capture algorithms provides the ability to achieve exemplary results in common tasks such as program compression and enhancement, vocal expression and instrument characterization very quickly. The ability to capture, modify and re-apply the spectral characteristics of your track is a powerful creative tool in all stages of the production cycle, from recording and mixing to mastering stages. DSM V3 has many use cases, from matching tracks in mastering to evening out difficult audio tracks in a mix. It even serves as an amazing De-Esser! DSM V3 certainly is a weapon in Mastering!
Compression is an extremely important element to all areas of a modern mix, but none more so than drums. Too little, and your drums will lack attack and weight. Too much, and your drums will sound small and lackluster. Being how passionate we are about drums we wanted to find a solution to help beginners and professionals alike improve their work flow, and get great results every time. We present to you, Smash and Grab.
There are several reasons to use a variable-bias tube compressor. One is the exceptional compression transparency that this kind of compressor can achieve, even when pushed into extreme gain reduction. Another – and perhaps the most common – is their ability to add cohesion or “glue” to buses, whole mixes and masters. Unfortunately, the original hardware is expensive and difficult to integrate with “in-the-box” workflows.
Introducing VPROM 3.0 – The Ultimate Drum Machine Plugin! VPROM was first released in 2014 as a groundbreaking software plugin that faithfully emulated the internal circuitry and filtering of one of the most iconic drum machines of the early ‘80s. This legendary device revolutionized music production by being the first to incorporate real drum samples, setting a new industry standard and shaping the sound of an era. Early sample-based drum machines relied on recorded acoustic drum sounds, captured with minimal processing and no anti-aliasing.
