G-Sonique Releases Audio Control AC1 Sound Control Plug-In
The Slovakia-based company G-Sonique has produced another versatile plug-in for mixing and mastering. The affordable Audio Control AC1 emulates a console’s master section – more specifically the controls used to monitor a mix. With a few additions of their own, AC1 lets users critically listen to a mix at a variety of frequency ranges, dynamic ranges, stereo modes, mono modes, and any combination of the four.
Lacking in the critical listening department? Check out the AC1 plug-in.
At today’s exchange rates, G-Sonique’s AC1 is available now for about $17.26 for the first 100 customers ($19.77 MSRP). The plug-in is available for PC only, in VST format. Here are more details from G-Sonique:
When you are finalizing your mixes you surely need to know how sounds your bass separately, if there are not some unwanted signals in bass spectrum, if high frequency range is clean, if mid range do not sounds distorted. If you hear your mix in full frequency range it is often not easy or possible. You often need to check stereofield, if there is not too much stereo or mono signal. If stereo signal do not have lot of bass freq. or mono signal do not have distortion etc. Next thing you often control are dynamics and transients, you need to know if there is enough of dynamic range, if transients are not smashed or if they are not very sharp or distorted. You often need to hear left and right channel separated or phase inverted.
With conventional methods it is possible but very slow and annoying to check these things.
With new Audio control console AC1 you can do all mentioned operations within one CLICK!
Additionally you can check frequency spectrum on linear FFT Display, you can alo set frequency ranges which should be monitored as well as set dynamic range spectrum of monitored transients.
You can do also own useful combinations by clicking buttons, for example: listen to transients only in treble spectrum, filter bass spectrum and analyze if bass is in stereo (side) part, compare how many transients are included in mono and side/stereo part of record and much more.
TOP FEATURES:
- Bass, Mid, Treble filter for analyzing individual frequency bands, with possibility to set frequency ranges, with buttons for fast results
- Mid (mono) button to – hear mono part of your mix in both channels
- Side (stereo) button to – hear stereo part of your mix in both channels

- All buttons can be used in various combinations to control different parts of recording.
- Linear FFT Display to view frequency spectrum of your mix
