Features

Vintage Tube Emulation

The VTC-2 was faithfully modeled after well reknown tube leveling amplifiers of the 50s to the 70s, while still remaining a Black Rooster Audio original plug-in at its core. Our signature circuit simulation approach allows for a smooth saturation with an incredibly warm spectrum. It doesn’t get any more vintage than this!
This take on a very classic tube compressor is any dynamic-enthusiasts dream - you can now recreate the sound of a vintage studio, right in your DAW.

Inspired by the classics

This plug-in was inspired by the most iconic tube leveling amplifiers of the 50s to the 70s, giving you a tasteful essence of historical hardware in one small, yet powerful plug-in.

Classic Time Control

Get complete control over the time constants for the envelope with the physically modeled version of a classic attack and release circuit, and choose between a fast and slow behavior.

SSE2 & Apple Silicon optimized code

DSP operations are pipelined using the SSE2 and Aplle Silicon instruction sets. This ensures a high-performance operation despite our plug-ins’ very complex computations.

HighDPI/Retina Support

The user interfaces support high pixel density on both Windows and Mac OS systems, giving you the most enjoyable user experience on high DPI displays.

Glorious Tube Compressor

"This is my #1 go to Tube Compressor especially on my drum group mix. This comp will help your drums to set in the mix better bringing out all the lovely snap of the snare and adding more thud and snap to the kick and toms while rolling off the harshness of the cymbals. It also does something"
