analog sound for your digital tracks
HoRNet releases AnalogStage MK2, the second version of our analog emulation plugin.
HoRNet plugins announces the immediate availability of AnalogStage MK2. This is the second version of our plugin, designed to add analog vibe to your tracks.
HoRNet AnalogStage MK2 emulates a console. It recreates sound characteristics usually associated with analog gear, such as saturation, hiss, and non-linear frequency response. You can use it to bring analog console flavor to your mix when applied on every channel or buss.
AnalogStage simulates three different types of analog technology. These include operational amplifiers, which offer the cleanest and more modern sound, and transistors, whose discrete designs were popular in the 70s and provide fat saturation. It also simulates tubes, which give a dynamic and smooth saturation from the past. Both the Transistor and Tube modes include advanced transformer emulation, as transformers were integral to the sound of that era.
You can choose to use each instance of AnalogStage MK2 independently or link them together. You can link them in groups (up to 8) or globally. By default, some parameters that determine the sound of the “console” are linked globally. However, with a right-click on any control, you can decide whether that control is linked only within the group or globally.
AnalogStage also provides a stereo VU meter. To assist even more, we added our latest auto-gain technology, allowing you to quickly gain-stage your mix.
We added an “age” slider that simulates an older virtual console by emulating the effect of drying condensers. This affects both the saturation amount and the frequency response.
For convenience, we also added 6db/Octave high pass and low pass filters. Additionally, there is a phase reversal button and a “mic mode” button, which provides a 20dB boost in input to drive the preamp hard and create distortions.
AnalogStage MK2 includes intelligent oversampling up to 4x to ensure the highest possible sound quality. It uses an internal processing sample rate of 192KHz.
