Arctic, The 'Hyper' Xmas free plug-in from Acustica Audio 2022-12-20T14:07:41+00:00 https://www.acustica-audio.com/system/akfp/file_entries/files/000/002/385/original/sImage20221220142246.png?1671542579 Enjoy a Special Christmas gift from your friends at Acustica. A free 'All-in-one' mix bus tool for Xmas! As usual, every year for Christmas, we like to surprise our loyal users with a gift for their loyalty and support, and this year is no exception, so please warmly welcome Arctic. This brand-new tool fuses three different processes, giving you a powerful 'All-in-one' Mix Bus plugin that takes you toward your desired sound in just a few moves. Three Processes, Few Controls Arctic represents an Innovative Multi-FX Acqua plugin that combines a compressor (COMP), limiter (LIM), and distortion (SAT) in a single tool for your DAW. We merged the best parts of all three processes into one ultra-lightweight CPU plugin based on Acustica's new high-performance Hyper technology. https://www.acustica-audio.com/system/akfp/file_entries/files/000/002/379/original/Acustica_Arctic-GUI-min.png?1671531559 Arctic GUI The compressor in Arctic features two detector circuits working simultaneously, both derived from different sampled units and enhanced by our Hyper tech, all within one single dynamic processor. ‣ The first one, a Peak-type detector, is characterized by fast attack-release times to preserve and manage transients. ‣ The second detector is derived from a slower compressor characterized by an RMS-type detector, which has a natural but less snappy behavior. https://www.acustica-audio.com/system/akfp/file_entries/files/000/002/383/original/Time-GUI.png?1671531562 Morphing in a fluid manner A single 'morphing' slider makes it easy to instantly understand how the three processes are being controlled and the 'fine-tuning' controls are for more accurate and detailed settings. Nothing could be simpler and more straightforward to get an homogenized sound and ‘bigger picture’ processing. https://www.acustica-audio.com/system/akfp/file_entries/files/000/002/382/original/Morph-GUI.png?1671531562 Key Features ‣ The ‘Morphing’ control allows you to gradually transition from compression, through limiting, to distortion. ‣ Hyper technology. ‣ Advanced RMS, GR, and VU metering system. ‣ Great and distinctive sound. ‣ Listening modes (Δ, LR). ‣ Low latency and extremely lightweight on CPU. ‣ Resizable and responsive GUI. ‣ High-quality oversampling, up to 32x. ‣ Two sampled detector circuits working simultaneously. Arctic represents our first product to feature shape modulation for both the attack (SHMOD) and release time constants 'invisibly' incorporated within the morphing control (MORPH), providing low latency, low aliasing, and minimal distortion. Mix faster, sound better From smooth compression to hard limiting to extreme overdrive, Arctic allows you to find the perfect processing for your mix anywhere and makes your work much easier. https://youtu.be/VZYXZNKUs9U Technical information: • Plug-in format supported: VST2, VST3, AAX, and AU. • All Available sample rates. • Windows 10 and 11 compatible. • macOS 10.15, 11, and 12 compatible. • Intel, AMD, and Silicon M computer compatible.
