Phoenix II is an update of Crane Song’s suite of TDM plug-ins designed to emulate the unique properties of a magnetic tape machine. Phoenix II runs both NATIVE and DSP on Avid’s AAX format. Beta now available with additional AU and VST3 formats! Phoenix II uses 32 bit floating point math and has a lower noise floor than the original release. Designer Dave Hill has crafted this software with the same attention to detail he used to create the electronics for ATR Service’s much heralded “Aria” discrete tape recorders. His intimate knowledge of analog electronics, as well as decades of experience as a recording engineer has spawned a very useful, musical suite of plug-ins. The Phoenix II process not only incorporates the nonlinear saturation characteristics created by magnetic tape itself, but also includes the interrelation of an analog tape recorder’s record/reproduce electronics and equalization curves. Phoenix II is a ground-up application derived from HEDD technology, and specifically engineered and optimized for Avid’s AAX architecture.

Phoenix 2 brings the authentic sound of five analog preamps to your DAW. Each preamp derives its unique sonic character from a different active element (12AX7, 12AT7, and 12AU7 triodes, and J201 and 2N5457 JFET transistors). To achieve the most authentic analog sound, each preamp circuit is simulated in real time using Shattered Glass Audio’s state-of-the-art circuit simulator. Use Phoenix 2 to add color, warmth, dirt, depth, and vibe to your mixes and masters or as a saturation compressor.
Anyone who has ever wanted the ultimate tube compressor that can bring a vocal forward, add a little air, hold the dynamics in place and add a size and dimension to the audio without that audio getting cloudy can now realize their wildest dreams!!! This Vari-Mu compressor embodies all that is good and right with tube compressors that actually use the tube in the gain reduction circuit. Two units sampled: the Balck Mix Compressor with stock Siemens and NOS Amperex Bugle Boy tubes, and the Red Mastering Limited Edition compressor with NOS Mullard and NOS Telefunken tubes.

Phoenix is a suite of five TDM plug-ins, each emulating different tape characteristics. Phoenix is used to create musical, analog sounds within the digital domain and combat “digititus.” It can transform brittle digital sounds into a much more musical and satisfying sound, and can emulate analog tape without having to actually transfer sounds into the analog tape domain.
