Reign Design has released two new AU plug-ins for Mac OS X - Big Hurk and 1-Time - and announced the forthcoming release of Velvet EQ.

Big Hurk!, $49 until October 1st, is the first release in Reign Design's "Emuration" line. Emuration is what they call comparative emulation based on impulse responses. It is made of several impulses at varied levels of intensity all on the same unit. If you want to add thick, rounded, yet still detailed, sound to your mixes then you should give the "Big Hurk!" demo a try.

1-Time (one-time) is a free mono tape saturation plug-in. It can smooth out harsh transients, add weight to kicks, and more. There is only one setting and only one knob that adjusts the gain.

Velvet EQ is an all purpose EQ. It has its own unique sound and can be used on just about anything. Available from October 1st and will be priced at $29.
