Key Features

A-Console is a strong software engine that can be applied to subtly or aggressively overdrive virtual and real instruments too:

• PUSH: Active to get more warm/hot results or to get an early softclip in order to control the signal and reduce the dynamic range.
• TRIM: Attenuates the output signal as you increase the GAIN, effectively transforming the fader knob into a "drive" knob.
• MIX KNOB: Apply parallel processing to your input signal in order to maintain a sweet balance of both the dry and wet signals. Blend clean and processed signals seamlessly for greater creative possibilities for new mix knob.
• METER POSITION: Customize meter placement to suit your workflow through ideal tracking.
• FILTER POSITION: Flexible filter placement options to shape your sound prior or after harmonic enhancement.
• OUTPUT KNOB: Fine-tune output levels for precise mix adjustments.
• Optional Stereo Crosstalk feature creates a sense of depth and three-dimensionality in your mixes. Choose "Vintage" (more evident effect), "Modern" (less audible effect) or leave the crosstalk OFF.
• Filters (both low and high pass) are sweet sounding musical filter curves designed for instruments, human voice, atmosphere sounds, FX, etc.
• Global Saturation Bypass (BYP) – Saturation can be disabled to use A-Console for trimming, attenuating and metering purposes. Bypasses saturation to all grouped instances. This control only affects grouped instances. If an instance is "ungrouped," saturation will not be bypassed.
• Oversampling – The plugin is finely designed so that the oversampling function is not required. However, in certain cases, using oversampling may be very useful, e.g., when extreme saturation wants to be achieved using the A-Console. Select from x2 to x16 processing of the original audio sample rate to eliminate any possible aliasing.
• Grouping: Controlling channel & busses has never been easier. A-Console allows to assign each A-channel instance into buss groups for ideal simultaneous control.
• With zero latency*, no group delay, and careful optimization (*If no oversampling).
• Internal 64-bit floating-point double precision.
