Analog Features You
Don't Need...
For many of us, a studio brimming with analog gear is a dream, primarily because of the cost! Analog is expensive because much of it includes features that already exist in your DAW.
Simply put, you don’t need preamps, compressors, or EQs to get vintage saturation! We just want the vibrant color and response of analog hardware, without the sticker shock!
So rather than producing yet another costly preamp clone or bus processor, we decided it was time for a change:
Give engineers the tools they need,
leave-out the features they already own...
Breathe New Life into Digital…
Digital Engineers are re-discovering the magic of analog all over again!
Digital recording, plugin technology, and efficient workflows are at their peak, yet much of the focus remains on emulating the past.
Rather than imitating analog through plugins, we propose a radical alternative: efficient and affordable analog gear!
Features:
-
2-Channel Stereo or Dual-Mono
-

Whether you are recording a new source, re-recording (retracking / reamping), processing groups, or mixing / mastering, saturation is a critical component to color and vibe!
Layering saturation into each of these phases of the mixing lifespan allows you to create a color palett that is unrivaled in the digital world.

Often Emulated,

Analog reigns supreme when it comes to shaping sound, imparting saturation, and delivering that coveted non-linear response digital simply can't replicate.
So it's no surprise engineers who have experienced the power of an analog studio, overwhelmingly prefer to integrate analog into their workflow.
