Featuring our Plug-Ins
Mixing Toolchain
Check our Edelweiss‘72, a highly dynamic mixing toolchain, that allows surgical modifications to any signal or mix that might sound limply, needs subtle tweaking or a decent finish.
Vintage Equalizer
The VEQ-1P plugin is inspired by one of the most famous and renowned equalizers in studio history - aimed at cleaning up and sweetening drums & vocals, as well as guitars and keys.
Tape Warmth
Magnetite is our homage to the sound of magnetic tape recorders. Simply dial in some saturation and warmth and this plugin will add the analog tape sonics that you're looking for in your mix.
Compressors
Accurately modeled after the original 70s/80s units, the BlueAsh and BlackAsh emulations of classic VCA compressors open up a whole world of versatility: Super gentle compression to every signal.
