Free Pultec-style, germanium-based EQ and preamp.

As per our tradition, each year on April 1st we like to surprise our faithful users with a nice release when everybody else usually likes to joke. This year is no exception, and since we are all mixing and making music from home, an extra tool can make the difference, especially when it oozes character and mojo and, most importantly, when it’s completely free!

Thanks for the heads-up.
Download in progress...

 

kinda hesitant on 1st of April

 

Thanks for the nod toward this. Am I to assume that one need be connected to the internet to download the plugin?

Sorry, I'm a noob.

 

Yes, you have to be online to get it and also to activate it. And you have to use 'Aquarius' (Acustica Audio's product manager) to do so. Not sure if offline activation is working. it seems to be a hassle..

 

Thanks @Karlsplatz

Bloody 780 mb plugin - must be really good

 

From their page..

"As per our tradition, each year on April 1st we like to surprise our faithful users with a nice release when everybody else usually likes to joke."

It's legit.. really nice. Similar to their other titanium-based free plugin. this is great for kicks and to give anything that vintage mid to high end boost..

is it nice? worth the cpu?

 

I am really impressed by the way they spread the word across by these free stuff. just lights up our faces and brings a glowing smile.

 

I have Aquarius since 2018 and I don't remember actions like this in April 2018 or April 2019 and I can't find any Their plugin with release date on 31st March or 1st April so... They lie? But this new plugin is real.

1st April releases:

2016 - pink
2017 - pearl2
2018 - N4 updates

Oh. Ok
In 2018 it was an update so i missed it. But in 2019. Aquamarine 4 was for free in 1st April?

 

Thanks for the heads up broooooooo

 

"nice release" =/= free!

I cant wait for a whole channelstrip in this style. In those times I welcome very single reason to hand my money to an Italian company.

 

Can't connect to the server through Aquarius.

Is the server down @giancarlo ?

Is it to late tomorrow?

 

I just installed it. Working here.

 

Thanks for the heads up!

 

I hope you get figured it out quick, but dont hurry, it will be available "forever" as far as I know. Not just for today.

 

Anyone know what the name The PUn signifies?

 

PUltec? What is the n?
