The vintage breeze of classic studio equipment combined with modern day, easy to apply digital processing makes this bundle the perfect chain of tools for everyday mixing.
Pulsar 1178 is an audio plug-in (VST/VST3/AU/AAX) that meticulously recreates the original 1178 hardware compressor in its tonal color and compression character, while adding several additional features, turning it into a very versatile compressor for tracking and mixing. A compressor that eats transients for breakfast, the 1178 is a rare and expensive legend of the recording studio, cleaner and more versatile than its older brother, the 1176. 1178 further than the original unit, adding all the features you would expect from a modern, versatile plug-in, including a full sidechain EQ for added control, an optional saturation stage for warmth and character, and precise metering.
An accurate emulation of the Neumann w495 3-band EQ. Neumann w495 EQ’s were used to master 90% of the vinyl records manufactured from the 1970s to the 1990s. But even after this golden age, many mastering engineers still love this EQ. Why? Because the w495 has wide equalization curves that can be pushed to ridiculous levels while remaining musical. The w495 is an easy-to-use tone shaper for individual tracks. But It can also enhance presence and depth of an entire mix. But we’ve taken Pulsar W495 even further, adding all the key features you would expect from a modern EQ plugin, including visual curve editing for a fast workflow. From channel EQ to mastering EQ, Pulsar w495 is an easy-to-use powerful tone shaper, faithfully emulated from an iconic 3 band EQ.
A polished, pro-sounding vocal is the result of deliberate production choices made from years of experience.

What if you could cut through the complexity? Imagine being able to effortlessly explore a range of vocal tones and production styles, while keeping full control over every detail—making bold creative decisions fast and with confidence. Vocal Studio is a powerful, all-in-one plugin that combines professional-grade vocal production tools into a seamless, intuitive interface – allowing you to explore, refine, and perfect your vocal mix with speed and precision.
Smasher is an unprecedented custom modification of the classic Urei 1176 compressor circuit, a unique formula that we stumbled upon while fine-tuning other algorithms. The original 1176 compressor hardware offered a selection of four ratios, but studio engineers soon discovered that pressing them all at once led to a distorted, explosive and highly compressed sound. It’s this “All buttons in” or “British” mode that Smasher was painstakingly designed to recreate. While remaining very close to the original circuitry, the modifications we’ve built into Smasher will add definition to transients and make your tone more aggressive. We love using it to enhance the ambience in drum busses, but there are many more creative uses too. Smasher won’t work on every single track, but where it does, it works magic. Smasher excels at raw and gritty sounds, calling to mind bands like Vulfpeck, The Whitefield Brothers and The Black Keys.
