Plugin Alliance 插件联盟发布母带均衡建模插件 Knif Audio Soma

Knif Soma是一款在国内不太出名的母带均衡器硬件,由于Knif Audio主要服务于发烧级音乐人(发烧合成器)、发烧级母带工程师和HiFi听众,
Knif Soma是Knif卖得最好的产品之一,一款出色的被动电子管母带均衡器,
如今,Plugin Alliance花费了大量的时间,在Brainworx 与 Knif Audio的亲密合作之下,向市场推出。

实际上Knif Audio的名号在朴素录音工程圈子内不如Maselec或者SPL这样响亮,
但其产品却拥有极高的素质和标准,例如不计成本的用料、非常严格的批判性聆听、严谨的电气性能检验等。

A passive tube EQ that’s clean and precise – even for modern mastering
Passive tube EQs have long been praised for offering tremendous color and warmth. Their broad boosts and cuts and inherent saturation makes them a favorite option for overall tonal shaping.
Knif Audio’s boutique Soma EQ updates the passive tube EQ approach by offering a cleaner, more flexible tone, as well as more precise EQ adjustments to meet the demands of contemporary mastering engineers.​

一款声音干净且精准的被动电子管均衡器 - 甚至适用于现代母带工程
被动电子管均衡器在很长时间以来都以具有出色的音色和温暖感受到褒奖,它们宽广的提升和衰减以及固有的饱和度使得他们成为整体音色塑造的最佳选项之一。
Knif Audio的牛货“SOMA”改进了被动电子管均衡器的实现方式,赋予了它更加干净、更加灵活的音色,以及符合当代母带工程师所需的精准EQ调节操作。
The first passive tube EQ with “Real Q Adjustment” to take the guesswork out of EQ
Despite their wonderful sound, old school passive EQs have their shortcomings as well.
Changing the bandwidth control on a conventional passive EQ will cause you to inadvertabtly increase or reduce the amount of boost or cut you are applying,
leading to unexpected changes in your EQ curve.
The Soma EQ finally solves this problem by adding “Real Q Adjustment”.
A first in the world of passive tube EQs, it allows for much more predictability and precision than any other EQ of its type.​

首个具有“真实 Q 值调节”的电子管被动均衡器,消除了对均衡器行为的猜测
尽管声音美妙,老式的被动 EQ 也有其缺点。
更改传统被动均衡器的带宽控制会导致您无意中增加或减少您正在应用的提升或削减量,
从而导致您的均衡器曲线发生意外变化。
Soma EQ最终通过加入“Real Q Adjustment”解决了这个问题。
作为无源电子管均衡器领域的首创,它比任何其他同类均衡器都具有更高的可预测性和精度。
Sophisticated and flexible color for discerning ears
While classic passive tube EQs like the Pultec and Massive Passive are celebrated for their warmth, saturation and character, there is such a thing as “too much of a good thing”.
Sometimes the tone of these beautiful EQs can be excessive for a given track, forcing a mastering engineer to choose a totally different type of tool for the task.
The Soma EQ offers a slightly cleaner and more subtle tone by default, with the option to drive it harder for additional warmth, making it one of the most adaptable processors of its kind.​

音色灵活而精致 - 适合挑剔和考究的耳朵
虽然像 Pultec 和 Massive Passive 这样的经典无源电子管 EQ 因其温暖、饱和度和个性而著称,但也有“好东西太多”之类的东西。
有时这些漂亮的均衡器的音调对于给定的轨道来说可能是过度的,迫使母带工程师选择一种完全不同类型的工具来完成任务。
默认情况下,Soma EQ 提供更干净、更微妙的音调,可选择加大力度驱动以获得额外的温暖,使其成为同类处理器中适应性最强的处理器之一。
Now with new features only possible in the digital domain
The plugin version of Knif’s Soma takes a high end analog EQ and updates it with extra features only possible in the digital domain.
It is now easier than ever to increase or decrease the drive applied at the input and output stages to dial in just the right amount of analog goodness.
And the engineers at Brainworx have added on indispensable tools for mastering, including a Mono Maker, Stereo Width control, and additional options for TMT.​

现在有了只有数字领域才有的新功能
Knif’s Soma 的插件版本建模了高端模拟 EQ,并使用仅在数字领域才有的额外功能对其进行了更新。
现在比以往任何时候都更容易增加或减少在输入和输出级应用的驱动量以拨入恰到好处的模拟质感。
Brainworx 的工程师添加了必不可少的母带制作工具,包括 Mono Maker、Stereo Width 控制和 TMT 的其他选项。
