Mellowmuse Announces Two New Vintage Series Dynamics Plug-Ins
Mellowmuse is a web-based company that specializes in pro audio plug-ins and software. Their most recent announcement made us aware of two new dynamics plug-ins, the CP3V Compressor and the CS1V Channel Saturator.
There is no official MSRP for the new analog emulation plug-ins, but everyone will be able to pick these ear-melting additions up on July 6th, 2011 for digital download in the following flavors: Mac and Windows as VST/AU in 32 and 64-bit or RTAS 32-bit.
If the CP3V sounds as good as it looks...
Here’s what Mellowmuse has to say about their CP3V and CS1V:
CP3V Compressor
Overview
The CP3V vintage compressor plug-in builds upon the analogue characteristics of our CP2V compressor, adding further flexibility with variable attack, release and ratio controls, and new compression and envelope detector algorithms.
Input drives the in-coming signal against the compressors fixed threshold. The Output control then brings up the level while progressively adding more saturation to the compressed signal. Fast attack times can be set as low as 0.01ms and release times 10 to 500ms. The four preset ratio settings allow compression to limiting levels of processing.
Features
• Multi stage analogue modeled compression
• Output driven saturation
• VU style compression metering
• Variable attack: 0.01 – 100 ms
• Variable release: 10 – 500 ms
• Ratios: 4:1, 8:1, 12:1 and 20:1
• 4x Oversampling
• 64 bit internal processing
CS1V Channel Saturator
Overview
CS1V is saturation plug-in that enables you to add the subtle depth and colouration of an analogue console to your mix.
Drive increases the amount of saturation, Tone adjusts the pre-amp character, darker and heavier in the low range anti-clockwise, and progressively brighter high end harmonics clockwise.
The default “Channel” mode is for mono tracks, when inserted on stereo tracks or busses, the “Buss” setting can be used to add a subtle amount of crosstalk.
Grouping
Group mode allows all instances of CS1V in your session to be controlled from any one instance of CS1V. For example, setting Drive on any CS1V will update all other instances making it easy to shape the character of your DAW’s mixer.
Features
• Variable input drive and tone
• Grouping mode for global control
• Phase switch and bypass
• VU metering
• 4x oversampling for low aliasing
• 64 bit internal processing
