Oscillot Audio Perspective review Prohomemusic brings you Oscillot Audio Perspective review, the latest gem in town. Good times are indeed here! Don’t you just love the unlimited possibilities made available by modern DSP technologies? We all know how much referencing can help get a better mix. Now you don’t need to have a car to do the trusty old ‘car test’ for your final mix check, nor do you necessarily have to buy those additional pairs of monitors for referencing purpose. In fact, they’ll just take up more room in your working space and probably make things more clumsy. Those were the thoughts of the developers at Oscillot Audio, led by the CEO – Mat Keselman when they developed “perspective”. I love it when plugin developers think outside the box to bring us groundbreaking products, and Perspective is the latest revolutionary plugin in the game. avg driver updater registration key free

The idea

Enter the world of unlimited referencing possibilities, with not only the virtual simulation of several types and variations of spaces, but also of different playback output sources. Imagine having the opportunity to listen to your mix not just in a car, but two different types of vehicles. How do you want it; SUV, hatcback? Or on various monitor speakers you wish you own; Focal Twin, Neumann KH 120, KRK Rockits, Genelec 8040, mix cubes, and a lot more. All which where wittily labelled because of, you know why. LOL. Of course, the effectiveness of this plug-in and others of its kind will depend primarily on the speakers you are using it with, and the studio room treatment. If you own a “shitty” pair of speakers, then using such tool is just a fools errand. Just like watching a 4k video on a low definition LCD TV.

So, it will take a pair of fairly transparent high definition speakers with reasonable frequency response that spans from the highest highs, to the lowest lows (around 45 Hz to 18 KHz) or better to get the best results. Oscillot considered this point while making the plugin, so they put a menu to select your physical speakers. I own the Yamaha HS8, which is fair enough. So I was still in the ballpark of the worthy users. Plus I know the sound of it very well, so I know how much the plugin is “effecting” some reference musics I also know well. malwarebytes license key 2017

The cool features

perspective by Oscillot Audio talkback

The monitor selection menus have these various drop-downs labeled in Capital letters H, A, B, and C. The H(Hardware) placed at the upper part of the interface has a drop-down menu that lets you select your own physical speaker. Choosing your physical speaker helps Perspective to automatically compensate for its sonic behavior while simulating the desired speakers/space. If you can’t find your speakers there, select ‘No Speaker’ which is a generic setting (more speaker profiles will be added in future updates). The drop-down menus A, B, and C below it are for selecting your desired speakers. The stage section displays the images of your desired speakers and the selector buttons A, B, C, to switch between each one of them. Above those are volume trim knobs for level matching. Other features that can be quite useful in a mixing session included are the special talkback and traffic ambience features, a mono button for mono compatibility mix checks, dim, subwoofer controls, and so much more. Hence, perspective is packed with other handy features aside the primary one. pinnacle studio 20 ultimate mega

The experience

The installation was pretty straightforward. Though the initial installer was buggy on some systems, Oscillot swiftly provided an update that fixed all that. An evidence of top notch customer support. The authorization was as smooth as breeze. No dongles, just insert the license key and you are done. Opening it, it has a very lovely UI, with well laid out menu. The first obvious step was to test it with my previous reference mixes whose sounds I’m used to. I browsed through the several speakers simulations in there to find the suitable ones. I found three that sounded different in characters and started switching between those. After some detailed listening, i figured some minor details that can be tweaked to make the mix better. I made some EQ and volume decisions that weren’t so obvious previously.driver booster 6.4

Making very slight adjustments with the plugin on while switching around made the original mix with perspective bypassed a tad cleaner and more balanced. I was able to tighten up the low end after removing some discreet “muffles” that got obvious after using some perspective profiles. Like I said earlier, I own a pair of the Yamaha HS8 (codenamed Japan modern 8), and they worked well with the Focal twin, Genelec 8040 and Neumann KH 120 profiles the most to reveal things.

I know some of you doubt the efficiency of these sorts of plugins, as these type of plugins cannot totally replace the experience of listening on another speaker set. Well, according to Oscillot this plugin was created through years-long painstaking research, which helped to closely simulate the frequency response and EQ curves of the modelled speakers. For example, the signatory sound of the “yellow coned” Rockits sounded familiar when referencing the profile. Pretty similar.

Also, in recreating the known character of the legendary Yamaha NS10, they craftily recreated the filtered high and low frequencies, thus shifting the focus on the quality of the midrange. Monitoring and checking your mix with this particular settings will help you concentrate on the midrange to make it shine more. We all know that the midrange has the most prominent frequencies that determine how well your mixes shine. Of course you will have to check with the plugin bypassed time to time, so as not to focus on the midrange at the detriment of other frequencies.

Final thoughts

Overall, Oscillot perspective is is a useful tool that can come in handy while trying to get your mix right. From my test so far, it is much more than a simple EQ-curves mimicking process. There’s definitely more to it because the transient response in various speaker profiles differ accordingly. After all, Oscillot stated that if Perspective allows for a particular combination (Hardware speaker to desired speaker), the resulting sound is that of the desired speaker having an accuracy of more than 80 dB cancellation in null testing with the real thing. The additional features are a plus, while talkback feature alone is worth the price tag. You can even use the plugin as a creative effect a la Audioease’s Speakerphone, by using the “smartphone” or “laptop speakers” profile. There are lots of possibilities with this plugin, so it’s definitely worth acquiring.

Waves Audio, the leading audio DSP softwares company has finally rolled out the room Calibration software they announced a while ago. Having a true reproduction of a well-balanced sonic frequency range in your mixing room is essential for quickly achieving great mixes. Frequency imbalances in your studio space will just mar the way you hear the sound. So Waves is releasing this software to help you tune your speakers appropriately, get a better and balanced sound reproduction in your room. TRACT will help you turn any sound system into a well-balanced foundation for your mixes, quickly and easily. The TRACT plugin integrates with Smaart®, the industry-standard audio analysis software from Rational Acoustics, to auto-correct EQ issues and time-align any sound system.

When not well tuned, sound system’s frequency response behave erratically. Hence, music tend to sound different than what one is used to, and as a result, mixing adjustments will not respond as expected. Worse, if a system is not time-aligned, there may be phase cancellation affecting valuable low-frequency impact. In many cases, access to the system processors is limited and there’s limited time before sound check. These are cases where an invaluable tool like TRACT comes in handy.

To solve these kinds of situations, TRACT calculates a corrective FIR EQ curve and time alignment corrections using data from Smaart v8 or Di v2. Quickly take and merge up to 8 measurement snapshots of your system, and select a reference as the basis for your EQ corrections. Four common reference curves are included, or create and save your own reference presets. Once the FIR EQ is calculated, you can manipulate it by changing the reference curve, limiting its frequency and amplitude ranges, or by supplementing it with up to 8 bands of IIR EQ filters. IIR filter shapes include: Bell, Low/High Shelves, Flat-Tops, Butterworth and Linkwitz-Riley curves, a Tilt EQ with a variable frequency pivot point, and an All-Pass filter.

The plugin includes a minimal-phase FIR component, which works at very low latency and with low phase distortion, as well as a linear-phase FIR component. You can use it in a live setting with any mixing console (via Waves MultiRack), with the eMotion LV1 mixer, or you can use it within any major DAW. With TRACT and Smaart, you can quickly and easily get any sound system to perform its very best, providing a well-balanced foundation – a clean canvas – for happy, accurate mixing.

Waves TRACT System Calibration plus Smaart Di v2 Bundle features in a nutshell:

  • Quick tuning any sound system with the Auto-correction EQ and auto time alignment
  • Seamless Integration with Smaart v8 and Smaart Di v2 for accurate measurement analysis
  • Suitable for both live and studio use
  • Runs within MultiRack, eMotion LV1, or any major DAW
  • Includes minimal-phase FIR and linear-phase FIR components
  • Create a corrective FIR EQ curve to balance your system’s EQ
  • Capture and merge up to 8 snapshots of measured response signals
  • 8 bands of industry-standard IIR filters
  • Create custom reference curves
  • Calculate and add delay to time-align a sound system
  • The Sub zoom feature enables one to have a detailed view of the low frequencies while phase-aligning subs
  • Can be used as a standalone high-quality 8-band equalizer without the Smaart device

Here is Prohomemusic’s list of the top best reverb VST plugins 2018 with prices . One thing that sets pro level producers and mixing engineers apart from the rookies is their proper usage of reverbs in creating depth and space around their mixes. There are countless reverb plugins out there, plus some very good free ones. Among the innumerable reverb plugins stand out some handful of gems which will give you that professional reverb sound with just the right parameters to tweak to taste. So we took the time to do a research around the audio communities and sites on the internet to compile this list of the top best reverb VST/AU plugins mostly used and loved by people in 2018, and here they are with their regular prices, in no particular order:

Valhalla DSP Reverbs

Valhalla vintage verb top best reverb vst au plugin

Valhalla, a company established by the awesome developer- Sean Costello, came into the scene with the Valhalla room reverb plugin, which instantly became a favorite among pro audio geeks. The main factor being the fantastic sounds you can quickly sculpt out of it, the second factor being its simply intuitive interface, and the third being its very affordable price. lisensi avast secureline vpn Ever since then, the company has made the Ambience/Echo DSP sector its forte, and have been delivering high quality and useful effects in that line. As at now, their reverbs has got to be the most popular reverb plugins out there.

The two outstanding products in the company’s collection are the Valhalla Room and Valhalla Vintage Verb. These reverbs feature various reverb types ranging from small to huge sounding spaces. The user interface layout provides easy and quick ways to adjust all the regular reverb fine-tuning parameters such as damping, modulation, early/late reflection amounts, EQ filters, shape, tone, and more. The Vintage Verb is the more popular among the two. It brings on the vintage vibe algorithms that cover three decades of reverberation technology evolution. These can be switched with the ‘color’ parameter, which toggles the mode within ‘1970s’ to ‘1980s’ to ‘present’. These modes determine the bandwidth and modulation of the processed signal and also, if the resulting sound will be brighter or darker.

A recent addition to the pack is their plate reverb type which is very good, especially for vocals. At the meager price of $50 for each of their products, having any of these reverbs is a steal, because the sound they produce rival the sound of other pricy premium reverb plugins in the market.

Regular Price: $50 per plugin

Fabfilter Pro-R

Top best reverb vst plugin 2018 Fabfilter Pro R

Fabfilter always find an innovative way of presenting their plugins in a manner that it becomes intuitive and so easy to use at first contact, even for a dummy. That was why their Pro Q 2 EQ plugin sat on top of our list of the Top 10 best EQ VST & AU plugins 2018. With the release of Fabfilter Pro-R, they brought another perspective entirely to how we use reverbs. Instead of imitating the conventional look and controls of classic hardware reverbs, Fabfilter decided to exploit the possibilities that digital software designs allow. With this, all sorts of features were implemented that would have been a pipe dream in the analogue world. They deviated from the usual interface and controls labeling we would expect on a reverb plugin, and instead replaced them with simple controls that have self explanatory labels. The interface is similar to the outlay of their Pro-Q2 EQ plugin, which if you are already familiar with, will make learning to use Pro-R even easier.

Pro-R packs so much flexibility of usage with its vector-based GUI which is ‘resize-able’. The parameter controls are all tailored towards easy mouse control. Its impressive graphical displays offer really usable information, and the controls are labeled in layman’s language with tags like- brightness, character, and distance. With Fabfilter Pro-R, you have an ingenious unlimited control over adjusting your reverb sound’s early reflections and late reflections(tail). A very forward thinking product that delivers. You can check it out by downloading the 30 days unlimited trial version.

Liquidsonics Seventh Heaven Professional

Top-best-reverb-VST--AU-plugins-2018-Liquidsonics-seventh-heaven-professional

Liquidsonics ventured on a tasking quest to breathe life into the static nature of impulse responses (IR) used by convolution reverbs, and this led the birth of their groundbreaking ‘Fusion IR’ technology. Before the advent of Fusion IR, the digital convolution reverb technology felt sort of static, lifeless, and hardly susceptible to fine tuning. LiquidSonics founder, Matthew Hill, found a way around this limitations with his Fusion IR technology.

The technology takes multiple samples of a room, plate and other reverberation sources at different positions and time, then provides numerous ways of editing the resulting impulse responses. With these multisamples, he provided a way to modulate and infuse movements into the IR reverberations. The Fusion-IR tech was debuted in Liquidsonics Reverberate 2, another great reverb plug-in by the company. It was well received with a rave of positive reviews all around. This same tech was licensed to to Slate Digital, which they employed in their Verbsuite Classics reverb plugin.

Liquidsonics Seventh Heaven comes in two versions – the seventh Heaven, and the Seventh Heaven ‘Professional’ version. The professional version comes with a huge library of presets of IR as heavy as 10GB sampled from the legendary Bricasti M7, while the basic plug-in installer comes with about 3.5GB of core content. With Bricasti’s acknowledgement, Liquidsonics has created a plug-in that successfully attempts to recreate the revered M7 sound and looks.

PSP Audioware 2445

PSP 2445 reverb plugin

Need a reverb plugin that could instantly make your song, especially the vocals sound ‘like a record’ right away? Here you have it. PSP brought the magic dust in the form of this plugin. That’s not a surprise though, because they always make nice sounding premium plugins. Little wonder,their recently released PSP FETpressor was one of our top 10 best compressor VST plugins 2018. PSP 2445 is a reverb plug-in inspired by two legendary early digital age reverberations, which are: the EMT® 244 and the EMT® 245. PSP tirelessly researched how to combine the specific features of these two simple, yet very musical sounding reverbs into a single plug-in, and they did a great job.

They improved on the original units with a couple of additional parameters to control the details of the sound. An example is the presence of the mix knob which is not available in the original hardware. The beauty of this plugin is that it is like three plugins in one. Each module of both the EMT 244 and 245 can be used independently or in combination, which is its default module. Hence, it is capable of processing using one selected engine or both of them simultaneously. PSP 2445 has a quite simple interface layout which makes it easy to dial in a sweet sound quickly. An additional set of controls for modulation and filters can be revealed at the bottom by clicking the ‘OPEN’ button.

Waves H-Reverb

top best reverb VST plugins 2018 Waves h reverb

The giant DSP company always hold their own spot in any best audio plugins list. Though on the reverb side of things, they have numerous plugins that could have easily made the list, here the worthy representative is Waves H-Reverb. The ‘H’ in the name stands for hybrid, because Waves combined the features of both convolution and algorithmic reverb types in creating this sophisticated plugin.
It is common to use additional processors like EQ, filters, de-essers, compressors or even gates after reverbs in order to fine-tune the reverb sound and help it blend in more with the mix. Waves had those kinds of situations in mind while designing their H-Reverb, hence they integrated all of those functionalities and more into a single plugin. It even has on board – a modulation with variable rate and depth, delay that can be applied both pre- and post-reverb, and varying degrees of overdrive distortion.

Waves took into consideration the optimization of CPU resources, hence the plugin was packaged in two versions which are the standard and the ‘Long’ versions. The standard version of H-Reverb can generate up to six seconds of convolution-based reverb. If you want more, you’ll have to switch to the ‘Long version’, which can supply up to 12 seconds at the cost of a CPU overhead around 30 percent higher. In all, despite the arrays of controls it offers all in on interface, Waves H-Reverb is immediately intuitive and easy to use. To cap it all up, H-Reverb includes an impressive library presets from the industry’s leading mixing engineers, as well as presets inspired by vintage and modern classics. All which will get you a good sounding mix in no time.

Lexicon PCM Native Reverb

Top-best-reverb-VST-plugins-2018-Lexicon-PCM

Lexicon is known for their high-end, hardware-based reverb units which can be found in big commercial studios for almost four decades now. One of its revered products is the PCM 96, which is the product’s algorithm and presets on which the PCM Native Reverb plugins were built. In actual fact, the Plugin version is almost an exact algorithmic port of the PCM-96 hardware, except for the delay and pitch shifting modules which were not included in the plugins. Additionally, there are features of some of their other classic products thrown into the ‘LexVintagePlate’ module somewhere. The plugin suite contains a number of reverb types and modules. Which reverb algorithm type each of the plug-ins uses, can be detected by the name. In the bundle, you will find LexVintagePlate, LexPlate, LexHall, LexRandomHall, LexConcertHall, LexChamber and LexRoom respectively.

From this, you can tell that the bundle covers a lot of grounds when it comes to reverb types. This bundle was so expensive when it debuted about a decade ago. Back then it sold for a whooping $1,900,but nowadays, it can be acquired at about $600. If you have the money, that’s a good deal considering you’ll be getting all the reverb types you’ll ever need to create a good sounding space around your mix. The user interface is pretty basic and straightforward that you won’t take long to get working with it. It also has nice switchable graphical display for more helpful information.

Do you need a pretty nice sounding reverb with that ‘old school’ type of vibe? The EMT 140 and EMT 250 vintage reverb emulation plugins from UAD are the reverbs to choose. As obvious in the names, these plugins emulate the revered classic hardware reverb units manufactured by EMT Studiotechnik GmbH, which also endorsed these plug-in versions by UAD. The EMT 140 Classic Plate Reverb Plug-in delivers the organic lushness that can only be gotten from a plate reverb. According to UAD, they expertly modelled the three uniquely different EMT 140s installed at ‘The Plant Studios’ in Sausalito, California. The outcome of UAD’s diligent work on the emulations can best be appreciated in the way the EMT 140 plug-in infuses sound sources with the unmistakable warmth and beauty of these iconic plate reverbs.

The EMT 250 Classic Reverb Plug-in, on the other hand, is a faithful emulation of the EMT 250 units which were the first digital reverb/modulation effects introduced in 1976. These are still regarded as one of the best-sounding reverb units ever made. Designed in conjunction with EMT 250 designer Dr. Barry Blesser, the UAD plug-in version uses the same algorithms found in the original, extremely rare hardware. The EMT 250 plug-in was modeled from Allen Sides’ ‘golden unit’ EMT 250 that resides at the legendary United/Ocean Way Recording studio.

With this reverb bundle, you can be rest assured you will get the best reverb sounds you can get ‘in the box’. However, you should remember that these are not native plugins. To use the products, you have to own a UAD-2 hardware or Apollo interfaces.

Overloud Breverb-2

Top best reverb vst plugin 2018 Overloud Breverb 2

This one is definitely the most underrated reverb plugin out there. Even though Overloud is known to always put out very good plugins, it still beats me and a whole lot of other people why this particular plugin by them is not getting as much buzz as it deserves. I think it is partly due to the fact that people are judging it from the performance of the original first issue, which wasn’t that bad. That is where they got it all wrong, because Breverb 2 is miles ahead of ‘Breverb 1’.

Breverb-2 is a high quality, clean, and flexible algorithmic reverb plugin that has a lovely looking, interface built to look like LARC remote controls for Lexicon 480L hardware reverbs. It is not all about its good look though, it definitely has an amazing sound to match. It offers seven main space algorithms, which range from Hall, to Plate, Room, Inverse, Small places, plus other large spaces. The signal flow starts from the input, goes through the reverb algorithm, from there to the equalizer section, down to the gate sections and finally to output. It is endowed with various controls which enables detailed tweaking that helps get your exact desired sound easily.

Slate Digital Verbsuite Classics

Slate-digital-verbsuite-classics

Slate Digital are known to always deliver top notch plugins anytime they come through, and to make their stuff sound good, they’ll exploit all available options. What the Slate everything bundle line up of plug-Ins had been missing before the release of Verbsuite Classics is quality reverb and spacey tools to make it a complete music processing suite. Verbsuite Classics plug in houses eight of the most sought-after professional digital reverbs in a single plugin. To make sure they deliver the best, they had to seek the best resources available to create a great product. Hence, they reached out to Liquidsonics for permission to make use of their earlier discussed ‘fusion IR’ technology.

Trust the team at Slate Digital, they utilized the tech well to it fullest potential and even improved on it to deliver an awesome sounding tool. They took the time to add some additional great IR samples of some classic reverb devices that aren’t usually easy to get elsewhere. These various modules are sold as additional expansion packs for more varieties of reverb flavour. According to Shane of Liquidsonics, Verbsuite and Liquidsonics’ recent reverb plugins use the same core convolution engines, so what you’d get on a basic Reverberate 2 patch using a Fusion-IR is going to sound basically the same in VerbSuite Classics. The only evident difference is the focus of Slate’s Verbsuite Classics on usability, variety and getting high quality instant sound without distraction.

2CAudio Breeze 2

Top best reverb vst plugin 2018 2CAudio-Breeze2

Whenever reverb is the discussion, not mentioning 2CAudio and their amazing trio reverb plugins bundle(the perfect storm) will be a great oversight. Aether, Breeze, and B2 were phenomenal when they came into the scene some years back. They’ve all stood the test of time and cannot easily be displaced whenever there is a line up of best reverbs. Aether, especially is a sound designers workhorse tool, with so much tweak-ability it offers. The only issue with these plugins in the past was that they were so CPU tasking, the more reason they were not that much of people’s favorite. This shouldn’t really be an issue nowadays because an average modern computer packs enough power to run them smoothly.

However, 2CAudio is taking things to the next level with the total overhaul of these plugins, starting with the release of Breeze 2, which is surprisingly very CPU efficient. 2C Audio’s existing algorithms were rebuilt completely from the ground up, which made Breeze 2 twice as fast as Breeze 1 on average. With this, you get the revered 2CAudio reverb sound without strangling your CPU. One thing I really love about 2CAudio’s reverbs is the availability of unlimited useful presets through their sale of additional preset packs.

Regular Price: $225

That is Prohomemusic’s list of the top best reverb VST plugins 2018 people. However, this list is not the ultimate, as there are several other equally great reverb plugins that should have made the list, but for the limited space. So, shouts out to these other cool reverb plugins :
To Audio Ease Altiverb, which is known as the king of all sampled IR convolution based reverbs, Exponential Audio Phoenixverb and Nimbus for their ‘wow’ inducing sounds, Softube Tsar-1 for holding it down, Eventide Blackhole for those lush, dreamy long verbs, Soundtoys Little Plate for its straight to the point approach, Zynaptiq Adaptiverb for being so real, even though at the expense of CPU hit, and so on. We love you all.

fuse Audio Labs vcl-373Fuse Audio Labs is a fairly new DSP company that has been making name for itself within the little time of their presence in the audio plugins market. Their major breakthrough offering was the Bucket-500 analog delay, which was a very intuitive and quick to use delay plugin. The company was founded in 2017 by Reimund Dratwa who has an experience of many years working for different big names in the audio business during which he created dozens of renowned analog modeling plugin titles.

ABOUT THE VCL-373

The VCL-373 plugin recreates an early 60s broadcasting limiter/compressor that eventually found its way into many mastering studios. 1963 marks a technological shift from the then popular diode-bridge based gain reduction stage to the presently used and preferred transistor-based circuit that allowed for less THD and more reliable control voltage tracking. dgflick album xpress pro 13.5 crack

The plugin includes a faithful emulation of the audio transformers, the crucial feedback compression circuitry as well as the discrete class A make-up amplifier. Some convenient features including a continuous drive control, gain compensation, GR metering and Corel Draw X7 Crack  a dry/wet mix have been added in the digital domain.

Available in VST, VST3, AAX Native, AudioUnits for Mac OS and Windows in 32 and 64 bits.

Price: Regular price $59.

Introductory sale price – $29 until July 15th.

Acustica Audio Water plugins suite releasedAcustica Audio Water plugins suite released!!!. Acustica Audio is pleased to bring to you their new set of ACQUA based plugins codenamed WATER. WATER is a VST/AAX/AU bundle based on ’60s vintage series of Austrian hardware, hand-built around  Germanium transistor topology and plenty of audio transformers.

Water as plug-in is characterized by a large number of important Core 12 tech features, making it an incarnation of a classy vintage hardware sound in a new guise. Just as with Cream suite, we believe that Water can be considered another highly valuable plugin representing a perfect fusion between Vintage and Modern – Analogue and Digital. Water brings a new frontier in the world of audio software.
Commenting on the new release, Acustica has this to say: “We believe that we have built a bridge across the software and hardware domain, connecting the best of both worlds, yet again demonstrating the inherent potential of Acustica’s technology!”

WATER suite was carefully crafted with the goal of building a set of characterful tools that reproduce the sonic behaviorof ultra-rare vintage hardware devices and include new features making it flexible and suitable for the demands of modern productions. Water embodies the spirit of revolution and the desire to experiment typical of the 1960s!

Included in the WATER suite are three different plug-ins:

  • WATER Channel-strip;
  • WATER EQ (Passive Germanium Equalizer standalone module);
  • WATER COMP  (Limiter/Compressor standalone module);

For each plugins included in Water suite there is a “Standard” version or an alternative “ZL*” version which operates at *zero latency at the cost of consuming extra processing resources and is thus suitable for use when tracking.

Products details

The Water EQ is created from an original passive stereo Germanium topology EQ unit dating back to 1961 and a set of ‘Homebrew’ additional hardware circuits, hand-built using original components and sampled by SoundDrops (SteDal). SteDal’s meticulous designs, following the original circuit schematics, helped us to include not just 9dB of boost for the MID band, as it is in the original, but also a 9dB of cut. In a similar way we also added extra frequency choices for the LF and HF bands and the high-pass filter. Further to this, within the standalone unit we added mid-side and dual-mono operation modes. As always with such modules, we provide the option to switch on and off the pass-though tone distortions of the original HW, allowing the user to avoid or embrace the frequency, phase and harmonic distortions of the gear.

The Water Limiter/Compressor is based on a 1968, discretely built, diode bridge device that delivers an overwhelming sound. With three of some of the very best transformers in the audio path, it gives a smooth, larger than life coloration that is reminiscent of classic legendary tube devices. Made in the ’60s the hardware is unfortunately very rare to find these days. Our take on this design is to make this great device even more flexible and powerful: we have included the extras of an attack shape modulation control, high-range HPF in the side-chain, some additional faster release curves derived from the Ebony mod. D473 VCA compressor, the ability to switch on and off the pass-though tone of the original HW unit, and a dry/wet control for parallel compression. We also managed to add a high-quality hardware modeled clipper at the output for this dream compressor!

Prepare yourself for the journey of sound purification and ascension, to the place of passage and transit for your soul, up to the wonder of Paradise.
