Positive Grid, creator of the best selling BIAS Amp and BIAS FX guitar amp processors, today announced the launch of the Pro Series Studio Plug-ins - a series of revolutionary FET, Tube, and Optical compressors that introduces profiling and component based compression for the first time ever in a plug-in. With Positive Grid’s DSP engineering and component level modeling expertise, it is now possible accurately reproduce the many subtle nuances of classic and modern analog studio gear right down to the component level.

Revolutionary Compression Profiling
Positive Grid’s first and unique compression profiling works by measuring the dynamic response, pre and post filters, nonlinear transformer characteristics, and attack, release, and ratio curves to capture the nuanced sound of any compressor. Users will now have virtual access to a wide assortment of the best compressors in the world, no longer limited by the traditional plugin architecture. Positive Grid is working with audio engineers, producers, and artists to create an endless virtual platform of the best sounding compressor profiles right in the Pro Series Studio Plugins.



Legendary FET, Optical, and Tube Compressors
The FET Compressor models the classic FET studio compressor in a whole new way: at component level, it catches the peak very and applies compression with a very fast attack time, release time and look ahead function. The Optical Compressor is modeled after the classic analog optical compressor. It provides a careful emulation of the original compressor now at component level, and allows users to change the tubes and capacitors to enrich the overall sound. The Tube Compressor models the classic analog tube compressor at an stunning component level to add richness and fullness to the overall sound. Users can change the tubes to add a different harmonic characteristic and warmth to the sound, while changing capacitors and transformers colors the sound and brings up the high and low end.



Easy to use 3D interface
The Pro Series Studio Plugins are accessible not only to professional audio engineers, but to the day-to-day working musician. By redesigning the traditional compression plugin from the ground up, and using for the first time stunning ultra-high quality 3D-rendered graphics, the Pro Series Studio Plugins recreate the true essence, workflow, and overall experience of classic analog gear.

registers a license file with BIAS Pedal. After installation and first run will create three folders in C:\Users\ username\Documents\. To copy the license file to block in hosts

 

what ? what are you talkin about ? xd

 

Think about it real hard lol. Thanks bergamot good find its working

 

Are you saying that by creating a Bias Pedal license @bergamot was able to make these new series from Bias work in his system with the R2R generated license key??? Mmhmhm pretty interesting

 

be sure to lock these addresses.
and the file folder Pedal pro in each folder with a compressor
api.positivegrid.com
bias-tonecloud-staging.herokuapp.com
bias1.positivegrid.com
pg-api-staging.herokuapp.com
pg-tonecloud-webapp.herokuapp.com
store.positivegrid.com

 

It worked for me, I'm booting into OS X to see if it works there as well.

 

Will give this a try tomorrow. By the way @bergamot, would you mind sharing your exact installation steps up to authorizing etc?? Would be appreicated

 

registered license file with BIAS Pedal Pro(Content Removed). After installation and the first start will be created three folders (PG_FET_Compressor,PG_Optical_Compressor,PG_Tube_Compressor) in C: \ Users \ Username \ Documents \. They copy the license file from the folder BIAS PEDAL PRO, and lock in hosts

Curious if it will work for Mac and how proceed to install it ;-)

 

Im checking it out. Give me 10 minutes

 

This plugin looks fantastic. Love the 3d approach.

 

Appears to not work via OS X

 

You enjoy the company's products Acoustica Audio? Download the trial version of any product -Get a temporary license ... and when a license expires, change the time on the computer at the time when the license was functioning, and it will work again

If it sounds as good as it looks then we are here for a threat.

 

Thats what I thought... but what was your steps to try to make it work under OSX? I'm on El Capitan but what were your steps of installation and activation?
Because I noticed that the steps shared by @bergamot are mostly for Win if i'm correct ....

 

The steps are the same and the folders appear to be the same. The license from windows does not work I'm afraid. Lemme try keygen for OS X

 

I did it only on win

 

What if i already got Bias Pedals installed??
Well it aint hard to uninstall clean everything reinstall if it aint work

 

just copy the license file from the folder Pedal PRO in the folder compressors
