Whats new in BLACKQ – Version 3 ? A NEW AND IMPROVED VERSION OF BLACK Q – V2, NOW FEATURES OVERLAPPING BANDS AND NEW FREQUENCY RANGES AS WELL AS OVERSAMPLING FOR MORE “ANALOG” BEHAVIOR. The Philosophy behind Smooth Tube EQ. At T.E we are obsessed with “Sound”. We recently brought a vintage unit to life by building the hardware version over 6 months, changing tubes, transformers and signal paths.
VOCAL ENHANCER™ intelligently improves the relevant characteristics found in your vocal recordings. Heard on countless hits by top engineers around the globe. It also works great on many other signals that feature a lot of mid range, like guitars and snares! VOCAL ENHANCER™ automatically adjusts complex sets of parameters with just a few controls. This innovative approach gives you professional vocal results without any hassle. It identifies and enhances the characteristics in vocals that are pleasing to the human ear, and gives you control over the definition and depth of your vocal tracks.
The new Orb Synth gives you amazing sounds for all of the 4 plugins of the suite. Two oscillators, two LFOs plus Amp and envelope. We have also added a cool reverb, delay, and a powerful crunchy drive.
SPL’s Machine Head is the finest digital tape saturator ever built. With the tone of tape becoming so popular in pro production circles, this discontinued hardware is in demand. Many plugin developers have tried and failed to capture the magic of its code, until now. Add those smooth harmonics to any signal minus the drawbacks of tape: no crosstalk, no noise floor, no fluctuations in motor speed. Get the sonic richness of tape, in a clean, controlled digital package.
DeVerberate is a reverb reduction plug-in that can attenuate or boost the reverberation that is already present in recorded material. The new version includes an entirely new algorithm based on deep learning for fully automatic reverb reduction of recorded dialogue. By training a neural network on thousands of high-quality voice recordings and a wide variety of acoustical surroundings, the artificial intelligence can automatically separate dialogue from reverb. The reverb reduction algorithm from version 2 is included for music and other audio sources. Both algorithms split the incoming audio into an estimation of the direct sound and the reverberated sound which can then be recombined freely. Additionally, a unique Early Reflections Filter that works in conjunction with the reverb suppression algorithms is included. The Early Reflections Filter uses sophisticated statistical methods to estimate the so called impulse response of the early reflections, which is then used to cancel out the effect of the early reflections.
Digital synthesizers are often known for sounds that are razor-sharp, crystal-clear, and precise – SQ80 V has other ideas. Explore a detailed software resurrection of a digital anti-hero that’s out to break the rules. Capture the grit, character, and charming imperfection favored by John Carpenter, Adamski, Mr Bungle, and countless others with an instrument that’s simultaneously complex and accessible, focused and intricate, edgy and dream-like – and unlike anything you’ve heard before.
While most things these days are made over seas in huge factories with the singular goal of maximizing profits by cutting corners and using the cheapest components, Black Box Analog Design does things differently. In fact we take a different approach to most things. We are not interested in creating clones of old gear or building derivatives of popular gear. We are interested in creating gear that does something that hasn’t been done before, addresses a need we come across in the studio and takes a new approach to a problem or design. We didn’t start out as gear designers. We come from the studio world and years ago, our quest to solve certain problems we came across lead us to begin tinkering with circuits of our own. Since we came from an audio engineering background and not a circuit design background, we weren’t influenced by standard designs or restricted by thoughts of what we “should” do. Instead we allowed our ears to lead us in the right direction. Every part of our all analog circuits is assembled by hand and every component is painstakingly and precisely matched. We use a real, high voltage, linear power supply, custom wound transformers and the best quality components made.
