Avid has released the new VENUEPack 4, a suite of plug-ins and utilities that will come bundled with all VENUE digital console systems, and can be purchased as an upgrade for existing VENUE owners.

VENUEPack 4 plugins

From re-creations of popular vintage hardware to the latest studio processing effects, VENUEPack 4 includes 30 plug-ins from Avid and third-party partners including Flux::, Focusrite, JOEMEEK, Line 6, and others.

VENUEPack 4 plug-ins run natively on all VENUE systems — no external plug-in runner or separate laptop required. They are said to offer high-quality sound, reliable performance, exceptionally low latency, automatic delay compensation support, and can be controlled right from the console surface.

In addition to the suite of plug-ins, VENUEPack 4 also includes the Flux:: Pure Analyzer Essential software application, a modular RTA system that provides mix engineers with an extensive range of live audio analysis and measurement tools when installed on a Mac- or Windows-based laptop. Pure Analyzer can also utilize the Flux SampleGrabber plug-in to support direct signal acquisition across an Ethernet network from VENUE system monitor and mix busses.

VENUEPack 4 includes the following plug-ins and utilities:

· Classic Compressors Bundle — Emulations of five coveted hardware processors (includes BF-2A, BF-3A, Purple Audio MC77, Fairchild 660, and Fairchild 670 plug-ins)
