CRTIV Tape Bus plug-in for professional music production applications recreates characteristic elements of the reel-to-reel tape sound. This includes saturation, modulation noise and smearing effects which are known for the “analog” feel they bring to audio recordings. This plug-in also applies a selected impulse response taken by us from the existing tape machines.

Richter v1.0.0 WiN

TCD | 01 June 2023 | 5 MB

A compressor beyond the ordinary

Richter is a tectonic compressor, designed to achieve heavy compression with a minimal amount of artifacts. It is the result of many years of experimenting in the Klevgrand labs. Normally a heavily compressed audio signal gets distorted, often with a nasty “zipper noise” artifact because of how the internal envelope followers are engineered. The experiments led to a brand new approach resulting in a compressor that empowers you to squeeze every bit of sonic perfection out of your tracks. Use it for meaty mixes, punchy drums or smooth, transparent vocal tracks. Due to how the algorithm is designed, there are a few unconventional controls to tame Richter. First of all: one single parameter controls how much compression will get applied. The other (important) parameter controls how the internal envelope follower will react to transients vs continuous/lasting sounds. These two parameters make Richter a highly intuitive compressor where the user quickly will be able to dial in the wanted sound. On top of that there’s a boost switch that literally makes the amount span go to eleven. And, as the name suggests, earthquake levels are possible.

P440 Sweet Spot WiN

P440 Sweet Spot You have very likely heard words similar to the following uttered many times about mastering: “it makes the music come to life” or “it is the final polish that transitions into something breathtaking” or “It is like… magic!”. The wizardry lies in the hands of the practitioner of course, but surely, as all wizards wield an unassuming yet infinitely powerful device that is a conduit between their mystical knowledge and the physical world, so does the mastering engineer. To the wizard, it is the magic wand and to the mastering engineer, it is the equalizer.

EPIC TUBE SOUND.

Some pieces of classic studio equipment just don’t need an introduction: Here is the VPRE-72! The archetypal preamp was released in the early 1950s and built by several iconic brands such as Maihak, TAB, Siemens and TFK. A legend in itself to the present day, the V72 also became the blueprint for the later V76 and the classic REDD.47 preamps used on numerous Beatles sessions.

Double MS & Mono Upmix

TCD | 03 July 2023 | 3.60 MB

Mono Upmix. The Mono Upmix can generate Stereo and even LCR channels from any mono signal and works great on voices in Post Production, synth in music production, as well as bass, guitars, drum room mics, vocals, etc. It adaptively extracts the diffuse sound in the mono input signal to create an upmix signal. As the diffuse sound should always be reproduced decorrelated on different stereo channels, the up-mixed signal sounds more natural than the original mono track. The Mono Upmix is often superior to a reverb as it doesn’t add reverb but uses the present diffuse sound. Furthermore, it’s possible to control the perceived source distance and panning position by generating early reflections. The Mono Upmix plugin performs great with mono location sound dialogue as well as spot microphones in a music recording.

PLATFORMs: x64: VST3, AAX | x86: VST3

This tool was designed to make gain matching easy and fast!

Have you ever seen a plugin that sounds so much better when you put it on? And later discovered that it just adds 1 dB of gain on everything? Or maybe a new compressor, that has a fixed 2dB steps output knob? So that comparing before and after is a pain? Or maybe a saturation plugin with no output gain, so that it’s almost unusable? Decide if it’s better, not louder, in a moment! GainMatch is an affordable and easy to use tool that we think everyone should have in their arsenal.
