BRUNO/RESO BY DIGIDESIGN

Digidesign's Bruno/Reso are two powerful TDM plug-ins that creatively synthesize any existing audio in real time. This means any source — from vocals to drums to guitar — can instantly be transformed into a uniquely textured new sound.

Both Bruno and Reso use a cross-synthesis technique to produce rich sound across an extremely wide sonic spectrum. With up to 24 voices possible, you can create a deep layer of adjustable resonant tones. An onscreen keyboard allows you to latch the keys for sounding multiple notes.

The 24-bit d2 is designed for the audio professional who requires the highest levels of performance and maximum versatility in a software-based equalizer, providing multiple modular configurations. With superior resolution, intuitive graphics, dynamic automation and save/copy/paste options, d2 takes full advantage of the power and capabilities of the Pro Tools TDM environment.

The d3 provides flexibility and versatility through separate insert configurations in addition to its highly impressive sonic characteristics. The d3 also functions in AudioSuite, providing file-based processing and conservation of DSP resources. Coupled with dynamic automation, multiple inserts and save/copy/paste options, the Focusrite d3 takes full advantage of the power and capabilities of Pro Tools.

Impact’s clean and well-organized user interface emulates the look of a console mix bus compressor. Its control set includes four selectable compression ratios and variable controls for Attack, Release, Threshold, and Make-up Gain. The Impact compressor interface includes a Gain Reduction meter that replicates an analog meter with an animated bouncing needle, displaying authentic ballistics as it meters gain reduction. The Impact compressor also includes a side-chain input, allowing any Pro Tools audio track to be used as an external key.

Ideal for professional music and post environments where critical control of dynamic program material is essential, Impact’s ability to go from subtle smoothing of dynamics to extreme squashing compression is without peer.

In use by top producers, JOEMEEK gear is the secret weapon that gives your sound the character and excitement it deserves. Joe Meek built custom recording circuits in tiny tobacco tins. One of them was a treble and bass equalizer with a sweepable mid control. The JOEMEEK VC5 Meequalizer re-creates the exact equalizer circuit used by Joe Meek, offering simple controls and incredibly warm, musical results. Try it on mono or stereo tracks.

If you mix in Pro Tools and want your final audio tracks to have that professionally mastered sheen, add Maxim to your list of "must have" plug-ins. More than just a world-class peak limiter, Maxim optimizes the overall level of the audio input while preserving the integrity of the original sound. Although Maxim is ideally suited to the stereo master of a mix, it's flexible enough to be used as a dynamics processor on any channel in the Pro Tools mixing environment.

Maxim also offers built-in dithering, on-line help, and a full-color Histogram, making it an indispensable plug-in for mixing and mastering in any Pro Tools environment.

The Moogerfooger Ring Modulator's wide-range carrier oscillator and dual waveform LFO mean motion on rhythm tracks and radical low-fidelity textures.

Proprietary modeling technology captures every tube, transformer, and transistor of the originals! Plus, both include sidechain support and perfect stereo tracking — two features not available in the "vintage" domain.

Each of Bomb Factory's Classic Compressors — Bomb Factory BF-2A, Bomb Factory BF-3A, Bomb Factory BF76, and Purple Audio MC77 — preserves every audio nuance and sonic subtlety of the originals. Far more than just a simple simulation of attack and release times, they respond authentically and accurately to all variations in program material. Cutting-edge technology captures every tube, transformer, and transistor of their hardware counterparts, while their software design affords additional luxuries.

If you're looking for a reverberation processor of uncompromising sonic quality that's also easy to use, look no further than the Reverb One TDM plug-in. Reverb One is a reverb processor built from the ground up by Digidesign to satisfy demanding audio professionals. At every step in its development, Reverb One was subjected to critical listening tests, resulting in a TDM plug-in that can compete with any software or hardware reverb processor on the market today. Reverb One gives you complete control of the reverberant characteristics of your mix, and is equally at home in music, post production, and sound design applications that require the utmost in clarity and precision.

Features
Independently controllable reverb settings, including level, decay time, attack, spread, room size, diffusion, and pre-delay
Extensive library of reverb presets
Early reflection controls, including level, delay, and spread, plus early reflection room presets
Dynamics and chorus sections for shaping reverb decay and optimizing reverb effects

You've heard SansAmp on thousands of recordings, on everything from drums and bass to vocals and harmonica.

Features

Trigger up to three samples, each set to a threshold zone of your choosing
Crossfade or hardshift between samples
Adjustable mix slider sets the amount of sample replacement
Expand/contract a performance's dynamic range
Peak Align option assures phase-accurate alignment

Though it never made it to the moon, the killer technology that gives Tel-Ray its unique sound was licensed by most every major guitar amp manufacturer. Add an echo to any voice or instrument using the Tel-Ray Variable Delay. It provides lush delay, amazing echo, and warms up your tracks and mixes.

Voce® Spin provides the most accurate simulation of the well-loved rotating speaker. Fifteen classic recording setups feature horn resonance, speaker crossover, varying microphone placement — even the "Memphis" sound with the lower drum's slow motor unplugged. Customize exactly the sound you want with more than a dozen fully automatable parameters!

These boards had a feature called the "Reverse Listen Mic", a feature where a microphone placed in the recording room could be turned in so you could have a two-way communication with the musician being recorded. During a session, a musician started playing his drums, and the sound came through the listen mic -- and the engineers rejoiced!

The Bomb Factory BF-2A is modeled after one of the most popular compressors in the industry — the renowned LA-2A. The Bomb Factory BF-2A tube compressor plug-in’s vintage sound delivers incredible warmth and classic compression with the convenience and flexibility that only a software plug-in can offer.
