Hello,

Neold Wunderlich and VoostEQ Channel N has a very interesting "age" feature that affects the signal between now and then, older and newer trimming the highs in a very specific way and maybe adding some compression and saturation under the hood. This lets you "age" your sound—making it feel older, duller, or more worn, or conversely, fresher and more pristine. This is something I've never seen before. I was wondering are there any more plugins with a feature similar to that ?

I know this effect can easily be accomplished by a combination of other plugins but I was wondering are there any other plugins that have this age feature under one control/knob like the two mentioned above.

If anybody knows, please do share.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The age function sounds very different from the one on Wunderlich. It cuts lows and brings more of a 'portable radio / analog telephone' sound.

Hello @ceo54, this might be something for you:

NEOLD - WARBLE www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/neold_warble.html & www.neold.com/warble

Organic Mojo

Welcome to the ultimate vintage tape modulation & lo-fi effect: WARBLE. With ease, it makes everything you throw at it sound special, warm, and analog. Its three main effect engines can be used by themselves or in combination with each other, thus bridging the gap between ease of use and seamless versatility.

New Old

The Modulation Block generates characteristic lush movement layers from wow as well as more irregular and wiggly sounds resulting from flutter. The wide parameter ranges and additional speed controls trigger anything from wide dimensionality to pulsating grit.

WARBLE’s Aging Section celebrates all the beautiful goodies of magnetic tape – bandwidth reduction, beautiful harmonics or noise and crinkle textures. With this powerful device, you can quickly achieve a wide variety of inspiring, nostalgic and musical landscapes.

 

Warble compresses and distorts more, specially the low frequencies, than Wunderlich or Wobbler (didnt try VoostecEQ). There's a level boost too.

I did a quick and dirty test on an excerpt of 'Just What I Needed' by The Cars (1978). Only the age parameter (to the max) is supposed to do something, all other processing being disabled or at 0. No level correction.
No VoostecEQ as I dont have it.

EDIT : I uploaded the unprocessed excerpt for comparison purpose.

The Mixland 280 Pre has the Age knob and it's excellent for parallel mixing. I really like it, it's made by Eddie from Kiive Audio.

 

I like it - Thanks @shinjiya!
