Fire The Gold is the brand new plug-in in our Fire Series, bringing you the finest authentic vintage British sound, and best of all, it’s FREE!

Acustica has decided to expand its Analog Dreamware Anthology by including a new powerful one-knob plugin based on our Hyper saturation technology designed to provide you with the most authentic presence, shimmering depth, and tonal character made possible by transformer saturation.

Fire the Gold embodies one of the most musical-sounding Class-A preamps with Input-Output transformers ever built, an undisputed audio masterpiece in Acustica Audio’s signature style, all within a fast and intuitive software interface.

A true and great new feature introduced with Fire The Gold is the addition of the breakpoint to better simulate preamp saturation using the Ultra function.


Why Fire The Gold?

Fire The Gold winks at our celebrated suite of Acqua plugins called Gold that incorporates the legendary sound of vintage British consoles into your workflow.

With Fire The Gold, we pay tribute to the sound of Gold by offering for the first time our Hyper technology-based saturation.

Acustica Audio's 'Hyper' saturation tech

Saturation manifests itself as a combination of harmonic distortion and soft-knee compression. Vacuum Tube preamplifiers and tape machines naturally saturate every track giving a distinct sound character that consists of gentle distortion, compression of the dynamic range, and a slight increase in low frequencies. Today, we describe this type of sound as warm, colored, and analog.

Thanks to our new ‘Hyper’ Saturation technology, we can now offer in the digital domain even more authentic and convincing saturation than before, emulating the sound of analog recording equipment in powerful plugins with a low CPU consumption, preserving sound quality while ensuring better stability and ultimately providing an ‘ultimate’ saturation.
