Acidgrooves has launched the Orange Krush distortion effect plug-in for Windows and Mac, designed for easy sonic destruction, from warm saturation to totally crushing overdrive.
Based on analog distortion circuits, and enhanced by the addition of algorithms that emulate the bias and dynamic of valves, the Orange Krush will give you all the power and saturation you may need.
Initially developed as a regular guitar pedal distortion circuit, we increased it’s sonic range to allow full range amplification and distortion, which make it excellent for bass, drums, effects, and lead sounds.
Orange Krush features
Distortion Processor.
Input and output controls.
3 overdrive stages.
Configurable distortion bias.
Additional saturation stage.
Up to 64x oversample.
2 Entropy Sound Technologies: TAD & USP.
Circuit Modelled.
The Orange Krush for Windows and Mac (VST/AU) is available to purchase for the introductory price of $25 USD until June 30th, 2013 (regular $30 USD).
Numerical Sound has released RiVerb, a reverb Rack Extension effect for Propellerhead Reason.
Numerical Sound RiVerb: Up-Front Spaces brings world-class reverb to Rack Extension shop. It is both the first convolution reverb Rack Extension and one of the first reverbs anywhere dedicated to the up-front impact of real small venues.
The 36 spaces range from the sound of small professional studios to recital halls and the more intimate scoring stages. The spaces feature rich detail that algorithmic reverbs can’t emulate. The Etched Early Reflections, Spectral Weighting and True Ambience content give it a sound unlike any other convolution reverb.
RiVerb features
36 Reverb Impulses from Real Venus: From recording studios of every size to clubs, recital halls, theaters and even scoring stages.
Audiophile Design: Supports 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96 and 192 KHz sample rates, with accurate detail, ultra-low noise floor and utmost transparency.
Timbral Weighting: Several impulses augment the space’s sound using spectral weighting on the low end or top end to enhance and change the overall sonic character of a track.
High Density Impulse Tails: Rich, complex sound without repetition or flutter.
Easy to Use Controls: Impulse List, Stereo Width, Gain, Pan and Dry/Wet controls make it easy to mix and shape the sounds.
High Impact “Etched” Early Reflections: Up-Front Spaces has some of the most clearly defined and articulated early reflections of any reverb product, making it perfect for rhythmic material and other sounds with strong attacks.
True Ambience: Unlike many competing algorithmic and convolution reverb products, RiVerb: Up-Front Spaces renders a fully differentiated wet sound, giving it a wider sense of space. In many other products the sound is less expansive and varied because too much of the direct signal ends up in the “wet” sound.
Universal Audio has announced the release of the Ocean Way Studios plug-in for the UAD Powered Plug-Ins platform.
Developed over a three-year period by UA and Allen Sides, Ocean Way Studios is an audio processing first — combining elements of room, microphone, and source modeling so tracks sound as if they were recorded in the legendary studios of Ocean Way Recording.
Built upon UA’s proprietary new Dynamic Room Modeling, Ocean Way Studios provides the unique ambience and dispersion properties of various sources in the rooms at Ocean Way, as recorded through a selection of rare vintage microphones that can be dynamically positioned in real time via a simple click-and-drag interface. Ideal mic selections and placements are provided in both Ocean Way Recording’s “Studio A” and “Studio B” — the exact rooms and setups used to record some of the biggest acts of all time.
“Ocean Way Studios is one of the most ambitious projects in UA history,” explains Bill Putnam, Jr., UA founder and CEO. “We’re going far beyond previous convolution technologies to provide the complex interactions between room, source, and microphones — the things that make the acoustics at studios like Ocean Way Recording so special.”
The beautifully balanced, performance-inspiring rooms of Ocean Way Recording have shaped the sound of countless classic records, from Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles to Michael Jackson and Radiohead. The man at the helm of Ocean Way Recording for more than two decades, Allen Sides, provided guidance, sonic tuning — and access to his $250,000 collection of vintage microphones — throughout the Ocean Way Studios design process.
“The Ocean Way Studios plug-in comes as close to pulling up a set of my favorite mics at Ocean Way as I could imagine,” said Allen Sides. “The speed at which I can use this in a mixing configuration is ridiculous, and the results are stunning.”
Ocean Way Studios Plug-In features
Breakthrough acoustic emulations of Ocean Way Recording’s legendary Studio A and Studio B.
Dynamic Room Modeling combines room, microphone, and source models for unprecedented realism.
Incorporates sonic profiles of vintage microphones from Allen Side’s world-renowned collection.
Includes mic bleed and mic proximity effects for stunning accuracy.
Choose from eight instrument / vocal source types with unique dispersion patterns.
Position and blend between three vintage mic pairs (Near / Mid / Far) in real time.
Use in “Reverb” mode, mixing wet and dry signal; or “Re-Mic” mode, replacing your original room and mic sounds altogether.
Preset mic selections, placements and creative direction by Ocean Way’s Allen Sides.
