Desert is a suite consisting of four different plug-ins embodying a unique, recapped recording/mixing desk from the early 1960s,
and other rare gear of the same brand that came from a recording studio located in Lagos, Nigeria, owned by a famous British record label.
Desert is the first in a new series of ‘Boutique Collection’ Acqua plugins that aims to reproduce the essence of unique gear,
those elusive, extremely hard to find devices, of which very few units were ever built and/or whose traces have almost been lost in the mist of time.
The centerpiece of this project is the recreation of an iconic vintage console module assembled with the best elements that British technology offered at that time,
sampled thanks to the invaluable contribution of ©Zarma Studio (www.zarmastudio.com) and music producer, composer and sound engineer Sodi Marciszewer, the owner of this...

Enhance the quality of vocals or spoken voice
The Harrison 32C Vocal Intensity Processor (32C-VIP) is a vocal processing plugin that offers a quick and easy way to enhance the quality of vocals or spoken voice.
It can be used for editing audio recordings or for processing signals in real time.
Leveler...
The Intensity knob controls the overall input level to the plugin.
The Intensity level feeds the Leveler which is a compressor with a fixed -24 dB threshold and a very low ratio.
Increasing the Intensity level will drive the Leveler harder and cause more compression to occur.
The vertical meter to the right of the right of the Intensity knob shows the level of gain reduction in dB.
More than just reverb...
To convolve is to multiply one sound with another... sort of.
The most common, and very cool, use for convolution is for reverb.
If you go to a place with a nice ambience, like your local church or your grandmother's bathroom, and you record the echo from a short loud click,
you can convolve any other sound with the resulting impulse response (IR) and it will sound as if your were magically playing it in that location.
But that's not all you can do with Convolver.
Because IRs are simply audio files, you can load any sample...

Product Details
Many acoustic guitar sample libraries focus on providing a clean, balanced tone: plenty of body, and a crisp high end.
These qualities are all great if you need a sound that blends in the mix,
but sometimes you need a guitar that brings its own personality to the table.
Presenting Evolution Dry Relic. Recorded using an early ‘50s Gibson J-45,
this is a guitar that’s seen a lot of history, and has plenty more stories to tell.
There’s nothing like the sound of aged wood that’s been soaking in more character with the passing of every season.
Paired with a set of well-worn strings, the guitar has a gorgeous, thunky low end with a spark of life in the highs.
The library is just what you need to give your song a boost in personality.
Bentside Spinet derives from spinetta, a word used for all quilled instruments in 17th-century Italian.
The spinet was a preferred household keyboard since it took up less room than the harpsichord,
produced a dark & quiet tone, and was aesthetically stunning.
As one of the precursors of the pianoforte, the oldest artifact is dated 1490,
but started to gain popularity around 1631. By the 18th century,
bentside spinets were found all over Europe and were used for daily home entertainment and musical instruction.
The instrument shape resembled a harp laid horizontally, with the keys in the position of the sounding-board.
As a result, the spinet produced a rich and sustained timbre, but darker and less brilliant than the harpsichord.
It had a five octave range with natural keys re-covered with ebony and ivory topped accidentals, giving it a strikingly memorable look.
From Classical to Latin
Synchron Percussion III is the third and last installment in a series of exquisite instruments, recorded in an extraordinary environment where classic acoustics, groundbreaking technology and professional experience create the perfect formula for excellence.
All instruments of this collection were recorded with a multi-microphone setup in Stage A of Synchron Stage Vienna, giving you all the sonic flexibility you can imagine in a percussion library, from pure and pristine touches to heavily processed outbursts.

The Fields of Rock SDX features seven drum kits and a comprehensive collection of percussion instruments
recorded by multiple award-winning engineer/producer/mixer Tom Dalgety
(Ghost, Rammstein, Pixies, Royal Blood) and drummer Mat Hector (Iggy Pop, Gutterdämmerung).
It was captured at Rockfield, the Welsh dairy farm-turned-into-studio that ended up leaving colossal footprints in
its now-fifty-year-long path through music history.
This unlikely studio, to which bands like Queen, Rush, Judas Priest, Hawkwind
and many of their contemporaries in the 1970s pilgrimaged,
became a creative haven where some of the best rock songs of our time materialized.
But even beyond the heydays of classic rock, Rockfield has...
Kageyama Taikos
Taikos have been an essential part of traditional Japanese music for thousands of years.
Their deep, resonant, yet crisp sound is unmistakable, whether played solo or as part of a massive ensemble.
In the last century, their prominence has risen far beyond the borders of Japan, appearing in major film & television scores, video game soundtracks, and international events.
We wanted to devote a sample library entirely to taiko, with several accompanying percussive instruments, played by a master to open up as many options for inspiration as possible.
We brought these drums out of the more common ensemble or concert hall setting, focusing...
