Acustica Audio has announced the release of new channel strip inspired by an ultra-rare American console that made its mark in one of Hollywood’s most legendary studios during the 1970s. Secret aims to bring the timeless audio experience used on historic recordings by artists like Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix, Barbra Streisand, Marvin Gaye and many more, straight into your studio.
We meticulously selected not just the original console, but the entire range of gear used in the studio that inspired Secret, ensuring every element is faithfully reproduced. Our goal was simple: to provide an authentic, unique sound that guarantees professional results. From the carefully crafted EQ to the fully reimagined compression and preamp sections, each component is tuned to perfection, giving you the same confidence and quality that characterized the classic recordings of the past.
Secret features
- Versatile preamp/saturation module with six preamp modes, including a TAPE mode for classic warmth and depth.
- 3-band EQ for precise tonal shaping with smooth, uncompromising curves.
- Compressor featuring three types—PWM, FET, and VCA—offering flexibility from subtle smoothing to hard-hitting punch.
- ALIVE control adds true analog warmth, recreating the unique imperfections of vintage gear.
Secret for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) is on sale for the intro price of 79 EUR until October 24th, 2024 (regular 189 EUR).
