Plugin Alliance has announced a new partnership with Lindell Audio, the Swedish designer of highly prized analog hardware for audio engineering and also of plugin emulations of audio hardware. Plugin Alliance will take over the worldwide distribution, marketing and support for Lindell's plugins.

OVERVIEW

Tobias Lindell took the experience he gained mixing and producing hit records and created a line of hardware audio products that became instant favorites with producers and engineers around the world. Now, some of Tobias’ favorite designs are available in plugin form.

When Neve® first released their iconic 2254E™ limiter, it was intended for the broadcast market. While it did become a fixture in broadcast production facilities around the world, it was when the rock n’ rollers got ahold of it that its legend really began. It was designed to place a ceiling on levels used in broadcast, but producers and engineers discovered that if you hit it really hard it produced a warm punchy sound that pumped up tracks and busses in a most pleasing manner. A great example of how sometimes using a tool for something other than its intended purpose can produce great results.

The Lindell 254E plugin captures the magic of this legendary limiter. In addition, the plugin includes useful additional features like a wet/dry mix and selectable slow or fast attack times. The wet/dry mix is particularly useful in that the 254E can easily deliver dramatic and highly colored compression effects. By dialing back the wet/dry mix, a technique often referred to as “parallel compression”, you can add the punch of more extreme compression while maintaining a natural sound.

The Lindell 254E is an exacting emulation of this classic piece of analog rock n’ roll lore. If you’re looking to subtly compress or limit your material, this is not the processor you should reach for. If you’re looking to turn a meek drum buss into bombs from Bonham, the 254E might be just the ticket.

The Lindell 254E plugin gives you the tone of this classic limiter. One of the most colorful limiters ever released, it was born for radio but had rock in its soul.

The 254E is also available as part of the 100% Lindell Bundle (link). In addition to the savings, the bundle offers additional features that are worth checking out.

• 6X-500 ($99 MSRP) – plugin version of the Lindell mic preamp with passive 2-band Pultec-style EQ, but with added features like high- and low-pass filters with variable slopes.
• PEX-500 ($99 MSRP) – plugin version of the Lindell transformer with passive Pultec-style EQ adds stereo operation, a Mid/Side matrix and additional high-frequency sections.

Also newly available, the 100% Lindell Bundle ($349) adds the new 254E Limiter plugin to the ChannelX bundle for a savings of $97 off the combined plugin prices.

are those knobs... or bottlecaps?

 

Hopefully those Germans will not try to conquer the world again...like it happened in the years 1930-1940,
financed directly by the Swiss Nazi masons (Banks) and Society of Thule.

 

Wonderful plugs i own the complete set of Lindell, nearly as good as their hardware

Worth the purchase

 

Butt-plugs for cats.

 

Seriously some of the best sounding plugs. The comp is beautiful. Use it constantly.

Surprised they got in with pluginalliance. Now you get all that goodness in one place!
