    We wanted to share something different this time around- a clear, no-nonsense look at how this plugin came to be.

    This was the second video on the thank you page - and we've summarized it in written form as well.

    I just want to make sure you don't miss this.

    We'll have more plugin and feature walkthroughs in the coming days as well.

    Recreating the Retro 176 in software was a serious undertaking.

    There was no shortcut.

    The work was hard, precise, and detailed because we know that the sound has to be right.

    The bottom line?

    Sound quality is the only reason this plugin exists.

    If it didn’t meet the hardware standard, it wouldn’t be released.

    And if you're anything like us, then for you, sound is everything.

    So here’s an in-depth article (and the video) that walks through the journey from concept to finished plugin - how we tackled complex circuit modeling, measurement challenges, and optimization to deliver a tool that behaves like the hardware.

    Take a look here:

    The shadows under the knobs are atrocious. Just a perfect example of how you don't do them.

    "There's a new movie coming to theaters in December called "How Much Reverb and Compressor Effects Can You Handle?"

    Another quick update from the VST Ticker:

    Michale wrote that after 27 years of downloading and installing plugins, I went to rehab. "Less is often more."
    3 weeks without downloading, initial withdrawal symptoms, but in the end, I was cured.

    Dear Michael, greetings and congratulations from the editorial team.
