Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter

In the 70s, the Aphex Aural Exciter had almost mythical status. It ‘excited’ tracks by restoring the highs lost through the recording and playback processes of the time, and was available only as an expensive rental item.

AudioTrack

When working in your DAW, there’s no need to put together a basic channel strip from multiple plugins—AudioTrack has already done the work for you. Optimize tone with four bands of parametric EQ, banish noise with gating, and tame or boost peaks with compression/expansion.

BSS DPR-402

In the later eras of hardware, this processing powerhouse was huge for live sound, broadcast, and studios—thanks to VCA compression, peak limiting, de-essing, side-chaining, and 11 frequency-dependent responses. In the studio, it was known for its explosive compression sound on drums and drum machines.

C1 Compressor

The classic C1 combines a musically pleasing dynamics sound with rich features and functionality: Compression, expansion, upward expansion, gating, dynamic filtering, sidechaining, and internal sidechain filtering—all in one plugin.

C4 Multiband Compressor

The C4 blends an optimum combination of compression, expansion, limiting, dynamic EQ, and standard EQ to edit both dynamics and EQ with ease and accuracy. Whether you need to fix flaws, add intensity, or create character, this multi-purpose, time-tested tool is the answer.

CLA Drums

Grammy winner Chris Lord-Alge (Springsteen, Green Day, Muse) says it best: “When creating the CLA Drums plugin, I had one thing in mind—anyone who uses it can get a great drum sound for any song and any mix, and just have fun!” Mission accomplished.

CLA EchoSphere

The diffused, bright sound of plate reverb, enhanced by adding slapback echo, are go-to effects for vocal and guitar leads. EchoSphere takes this popular pairing a giant step further, with models of the personal hardware used by Chris Lord-Alge (Foo Fighters, Muse, Springsteen).

CLA Vocals

We worked with Grammy-winning mixer Chris Lord-Alge to pack his six favorite vocal effect, each with three optimized variations, into a plugin that excels at all-around vocal processing. Six faders optimize bass, treble, compression, reverb, delay, and pitch—quickly and easily.

CLA-2A Compressor / Limiter

The CLA-2A models what may be the most coveted and popular hardware compressor/limiter ever made. A favorite of studio engineers everywhere, this studio mainstay has graced countless vocal, bass, guitar, and other instrument tracks for over half a century with its alluring, warm sound.

CLA-76 Compressor / Limiter

Unlike the smooth sound of optical control-based compressors, the CLA-76 models the ultra-fast response, and tube-like distortion, of FET control circuitry. This plugin models two CLA-76s, based on hand-picked hardware that represents the best of the many revisions that were produced.
