THE-D v1.5 For NEBULA

Team ARCADiA | 16 December 2025 | 580.66 MB

THE-D is based on a stereo opto compressor (some call it “Edward”), made famous as it was used for one of the busses by an engineer named Michael, who mixed a lot of famous records. In his multi-buss system, the fourth bus “D” employed this compressor. This compressor is quite rare and not known by many. When I found it in a studio in Berlin, I asked its owner if he would be interested in making a plug-in out of it. He allowed me to capture it and THE-D was born. THE-D features a Preamp and a Compressor program. Our libraries require Nebula3, N4, or N4.5. They do not work with N4 Player or with non-commercial versions of the software.

OptoRED v2.5 macOS

MORiA | 20 July 2025 | 26.6MB

PLATFORMS: AAX*/AU/VST3/64Bit

OptoRED is a transparent Optical Attenuator (compressor) based on the classic American unit used on countless hit records. This is part of our new “Enhanced Classics” series. Compression is one of the most important tools in the arsenal of an Engineer, Music Producer & Artist alike. This is now a device that far surpasses its original intent which was to control the level of the sound automatically. Today we use different types of compressors for inducing a “Vibe” & “Feel” to our instruments, percussion, drums, and voice. Digital and Analog Compressors have come a long way, but some classics are still preferred even today because they are now as much a part of a genre or musical style that they are now deemed as musical instruments in their own right.
