It's been a LONG time coming, but itfs finally here. Version 3.0.0 brings many noteworthy features and fixes. All known compatibility issues have been addressed for current users, and for those users that have been waiting patiently (or not), we're finally fully consistent -- all plugins are available 32 and 64 bit, both Mac and PC (with the exception of Psycho Dither which is still WIP and Microschope which has been retired due to lack of activity). The most exciting bit for new users, though, is additional platform support. We now support VST3 and (wait for it...) Pro Tools. Our plugins are available in RTAS (legacy), 32-bit AAX Native (Pro Tools 10), and 64-bit AAX Native (Pro Tools 11). Where appropriate, we have also built in support for Audiosuite (AS).
Bombardier Buss Compressor
Bombardier is our most ambitious project to date – a premium quality buss compressor, tailored for smooth and musical processing of complex audio such as drum groups, vocal stems and your full stereo mix, lending a controllable sense of weight, fluidity and cohesion.
Due to its RMS compression engine (and unlike The Rocket, which uses peak compression), Bombardier is ideally suited to final mixdown and mastering usage, Bombardier is also ideal for those who like to set up buss dynamics first and then mix ‘into’ the buss compressor.
Vibe-EQ Character Equalizer
This is one of those mythical plugins that makes things sound better just by plugging it in. Really.
Consider 1973, our top quality pristine equaliser; where we go to great efforts to provide smooth and transparent control over the frequencies you choose, because very often that’s what you need from an EQ. But… sometimes you need an equalizer that shapes the character of the sound at those frequencies.
That …is VibeEQ.
Vibe-EQ is all about color. The more boost or cut you dial in, the more color and funk you get, in the form of rich harmonic variation of the frequencies you choose. Use sparingly on the output bus, submixes and vocals for warm and musical tonal balancing, and with a heavier
1973 Equalizer
The Neve* 1073 is probably one of the best large-format console channel modules ever made. Punchy, detailed…it was almost impossible to make it sound bad…for its time. Let’s not debate about large chunks of iron and wax/paper versus electrolytic caps…let’s talk about the sheer genius involved in picking the proper EQ frequencies, bandwidths, and slopes.
THIS is where 1973 is coming from…not an emulation, but a tribute. Taking the best features and reducing them down to their essence…then making it utterly transparent and smooth.
