Acustica Audio 发布 60 年代建模混音插件组合 Desert

来自 60 年代的声音,Acustica Audio 再次用插件进行建模。

acustica-audio desert - 1.jpg

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 priceless equipment.​

Desert 是一个套件,由四个不同的插件组成,体现了 1960 年代早期独特的、经过重述的录音/混音台,
以及来自位于尼日利亚拉各斯的录音室的其他罕见设备,该录音室由著名的英国人唱片公司所有。

Desert 是 Acqua "精品系列 "插件的第一个系列,旨在重现独特装备的精髓,
那些难以捉摸、极难找到的设备,其中很少有设备被制造出来和/或其痕迹几乎已经消失在时间的迷雾中。

该项目的核心是重新创建一个标志性的老式控制台模块,其中组装了当时英国技术提供的最佳元素,
这要归功于©Zarma Studio (www.zarmastudio.com ) 和音乐制作人、作曲家和音响工程师Sodi Marciszewer,是这款无价设备的拥有者。

Details
The mixing/tracking console carries serial number #100 and was developed at a time when record labels maintained their own recording studios,
going as far as designing and building most of their recording equipment.
This fairly simple console includes eight channels, each delivering a preamp built around early Germanium transistor technology and a passive two-band shelf equalizer.
The Desert preamplifier section and the Model A EQ are derived from these circuit blocks.

The harmonic content generated by this string of Germanium input and output preamplifiers can reach astonishing levels.
For this reason, unlike any other Acqua plugin suites by Acustica,
we decided to introduce in Desert the possibility of combining eight Input amps with eight different Output amps, plus adding a Drive control.
Any engineer and sound creator will immediately be excited by the possibilities to intuitively play with these various, very simple settings,
which allows you to produce inimitable germanium circuit distortions.​

细节
混音/跟踪控制台的序列号为 #100,是在唱片公司维护自己的录音室、
设计和建造大部分录音设备的时候开发的。
这个相当简单的调音台包括八个通道,每个通道都提供一个围绕早期锗晶体管技术构建的前置放大器和一个无源两频段搁架均衡器。
Desert 前置放大器部分和 A 型均衡器源自这些电路块。

这串锗输入和输出前置放大器产生的谐波含量可以达到惊人的水平。
出于这个原因,与 Acustica 的任何其他 Acqua 插件套件不同,
我们决定在 Desert 中引入将八个输入放大器与八个不同的输出放大器相结合的可能性,并添加一个驱动控制。
任何工程师和声音创作者都会立即对直观地使用这些各种非常简单的设置进行演奏的可能性感到兴奋,
这使您可以产生独特的锗电路失真。

What you get
Desert includes:
DESERT EQ: Two switchable Equalizers (a 2-band passive EQ derived from an iconic tracking/mixing console from the early 60s and a 2-band passive germanium transistor-based EQ with HP-LP filters originally part of a 60s mastering console) plus eight germanium transistor-based preamps from the eight channels of a unique tracking/mixing console.​
  • DESERT COMP: An Opto Compressor / Limiter made in the 60s; featuring 3 different switchable dynamic processor emulations (the original model called COMP 1, a 'Frankenstein mode by Acustica called COMP2 and finally the limiter) with a preamp emulation.​
  • DESERT PRE: Eight Line-In preamplifiers plus eight Line-Out preamplifiers that can be used individually or in combination to recreate the same sound as the original console, starting from a clear, powerful and colorful sound that can evolve into a range of distortions whose musicality is unmatched.​
  • DESERT CHANNEL STRIP: Two switchable Passive Equalizers, an Opto Compressor/limiter with 3 different switchable modes, a complete preamp section with a Drive control.​
Each plug-in included in the Desert suite comes in a “Standard” version and an alternative “ZL*” version,
which operates at *zero latency and is thus suitable for use when tracking, at the cost of extra processing resources.

你得到什么
Desert 包括:
DESERT EQ:两个可切换均衡器(一个 2 频段无源 EQ 源自 60 年代早期标志性的跟踪/混音控制台和一个基于 2 频段无源锗晶体管的 EQ,
带有 HP-LP 滤波器,最初是 60 年代母带控制台的一部分)以及来自独特跟踪/混音控制台的八个通道的八个基于锗晶体管的前置放大器。

DESERT COMP:60 年代制造的 Opto 压缩机/限幅器;具有 3 种不同的可切换动态处理器仿真(原始模型称为 COMP 1,
Acustica 的“弗兰肯斯坦模式”称为 COMP2,最后是限制器)和前置放大器仿真。

DESERT PRE:八个线性输入前置放大器和八个线性输出前置放大器,
可以单独使用或组合使用以重现与原始调音台相同的声音,
从清晰、强大和多彩的声音开始,可以演变成一系列失真音乐性无与伦比。

DESERT CHANNEL STRIP:两个可切换的无源均衡器,
一个具有 3 种不同可切换模式的光电压缩器/限制器,
一个带有驱动控制的完整前置放大器部分。

Desert 套件中包含的每个插件都有一个“标准”版本和一个替代“ZL”版本,
该版本以零延迟运行,因此适合在现场演奏时使用,但需要额外的处理资源。
