Experience the iconic British console sound like never before with Gold5 from Acustica Audio 2023-05-10T14:21:36+00:00 https://cms.acustica-audio.com/assets/products/Gold5/Gold5_v3_Acustica.jpg Gold represents the ultimate choice for anyone willing to incorporate the sound of legendary vintage British consoles into their workflow. Along with its routing control section, this is one of the most complex and complete Acqua plug-ins ever released. We have elevated the Gold suite to new heights with the release of its fifth version, incorporating new features that enhance its accuracy and integrating it with our cutting-edge Hyper technology. Analog modeling It's no secret that the sound of our creations is different from the rest. Our approach is based on sampling, which through the use of FIR filters, allows us to obtain a clean signal with a beautiful frequency/phase response up to the Nyquist frequency. Very few audio gears have achieved iconic status like the ones we tested to create Gold. It is the most extensive and versatile set of plugins of its kind available today. We spend countless hours developing these no-compromise plug-ins to give you nothing but the best sound and a ‘feel’ that is as close to the actual hardware to the greatest possible extent. With Gold5, you have one of the best, high-quality professional audio software plug-in suites in your audio workstation. https://cms.acustica-audio.com/assets/products/Gold5/nImage20230510144102.jpg What's new? • Hyper 2 saturation & compression technology. • All new Hyper preamps. • An ULTRA Shape control to make the distortion more or less pronounced. • Numeric labels for all controls. • High quality oversampling (up to 64x,with perfect phase response). • Resizable GUIs * * Choose between 3 magnification values (1x - 1.5x - 2x) from the top left ▼SIZE drop-down menu. Once the desired size is selected, the plug-in must be removed and re-loaded to apply the changes. This action affects the currently selected plug-in. New instances of the same plug-in will open with this magnification. What you get Gold5 includes 9 different equalizers, 2 extremely rare compressors, and a total of 52 preamplifiers available inside the PRE standalone module. Anyone searching for faithful analog emulations must try this vintage British channel strip. Gold5 (Channel-strip) To help you fully unleash the true potential of your mixes, you can use the individual modules of the Gold5 channel strip as separate plugin processors, allowing you to use each component separately for even more versatility. https://cms.acustica-audio.com/assets/products/Gold5/Gold5_Channelstrip_GUI.png Gold5 GUI Gold5 PRE (standalone preamps module) Gold5 preamp plug-in includes several emulations derived from vintage and rare units. This section emulates their corresponding circuits' frequency/phase response and harmonic distortion. https://cms.acustica-audio.com/assets/products/Gold5/Gold5_Pre_GUI.png Gold5 PRE GUI Gold5 EQ (Equalizer standalone module) The Gold5 EQ comprises two sections (HF/HMF and LMF/ LF), each with a variety of selectable equalizer units. With all these available EQ combinations, you’ll always be able to find the perfect match for the tracks you’re mixing. https://cms.acustica-audio.com/assets/products/Gold5/Gold5_EQ_GUI.png Gold5 EQ GUI Gold5 COMP (standalone compressor module) Gold is equipped with two different compressors, the 8252 and 8254. The 8252 compressor/limiter was the first unit supplied with germanium transistors running on a -24v power supply, and it was the predecessor to the 8254. The original hardware in the 8254 is a classic compressor built around a diode-bridge cell. It was created in 1969, and its effect is often described as “smooth” and “creamy.” https://cms.acustica-audio.com/assets/products/Gold5/Gold5_Comp_GUI.png Gold5 COMP GUI Additionally, each plug-in included in the Gold5 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). NOTE: Please remember that for each plug-in in the Gold suite, we recommend calibrating your input levels to: -18dBFS = 0dBu. This way, you will avoid unwanted distortion or unpredictable behavior due to excessive input levels. We recommend reading the Gold5 user's manual to get the most out of this new plug-in suite.
