Mixland has announced the release of a painstaking recreation of the coveted UnFairchild 670M mkII vari-mu compressor. A collaboration with Eric Valentine of Undertone Audio, the plugin version aims to redefine the possibilities of digital compression and vacuum tube emulation.
The features and controls for the UnFairchild 670M II plugin are the same as the hardware, with additional controls for the output, wet/dry mix, and overall THD (Total Harmonic Distortion).
“Analog circuits, like the UnFairchild, behave more like living breathing organisms. Nothing they do is linear or predictable. Mathematical formulas and algorithms are by nature, predictable. It took a huge amount of effort and experimentation to inject the sensation of unpredictable analog circuitry into this plugin. As you adjust controls on this plugin, you will feel all of the different personalities of the UnFairchild emerge and morph from one to another. The personality that shows up for 4 to 5 dB of compression is profoundly different from the personality that comes crushing in with 15 to 20dB compression.
We are very excited about the innovations this plugin brings to the crowded landscape of compressor plugins and we can not wait to hear what it brings to your creative world.” -Eric Valentine
The UnFairchild 670M mkII for Windows and Mac (VST3, AU and AAX) is on sale for the introductory price of $199 USD for a limited time (regular $249 USD). A free 14-day trial demo is available to try the plugin.
