■ Abbey Road Vinyl

​

Abbey Road Vinyl is the long-awaited tool for diverse audio users: from mixing engineers craving a distinct smooth sound, to EDM and hip hop artists who cherish that “needle” touch, to sound designers reaching for authentic vinyl qualities and producers seeking a true-to-vinyl dimension on their tracks.

features

• Add authentic vintage vinyl sound to your tracks.
• Precise model of the classic vinyl mastering gear at Abbey Road Studios.
• Choose between a pure acetate cut or the print master pressing from the factory, played back on different turntables and needles.
• Add noise and crackle.
• Control tone arm location for variable frequency response/distortion.
• Add wow and flutter.
• Control and shape phase distortion.
• Apply slow-down/stop turntable mechanism.

■ Greg Wells ToneCentric

​

Greg Wells remarked, on his vision for the plugin, “I’m always on the hunt for ways to pull more music out of the speakers. You get a beautiful effect when you run audio through healthy vacuum tubes and big transistors wound the right way, and record it to a great tape machine. This plugin is an homage to the great analog gear that leaves a wonderful sonic footprint on your sound.”

features

• Harmonic enhancement plugin.
• Created with producer, songwriter & mixing engineer Greg Wells (Adele, Katy Perry, OneRepublic, Mika, Twenty One Pilots).
• For use in the studio or live.
• User-friendly single-knob control.

■ Primary Source Expander (PSE)

​

At the heart of this plugin is a precision expander, tailored especially for melodic sources such as vocals, guitars, strings, brass, woodwinds and more. PSE works like a fader that smoothly attenuates the channel’s level when the source goes below a certain threshold. You determine both the threshold and the amount of attenuation.

features

• Reduces feedback and stage or background noise.
• Smoothly attenuates levels when source drops below user-defined threshold.
• User-friendly GUI for quick operation – set and forget.
• Internal and external sidechain with HP/LP filters.
• Ability to control release time.

Availability and pricing TBA.

will be nice to hear how that vinylizer sounds

 

Probably not $250 better than Izotope vinyl, which is what it will most likely cost
