So what was so great about analog?

 

Well, one of the best things about the analog world was analog tape. Why? Because of analog tape compression. Analog tape is made up of magnetic particles. Since there is a finite amount of particles on the tape there is a limit to the amount of audio that can be recorded to it. Once that amount has been reached, the particles become "saturated". The result is a dense, punchy sound.

 

This is exactly what Extreme Punch was designed to replicate. We are proud to release Extreme Punch 8, a whole new design from previous versions and the most "saturated" yet.

 

Extreme Punch is a VST plugin designed to bring analog tape compression into the often sterile digital world. Unlike most VST plugins that try to capture the sound of tape, Extreme Punch 8 was designed to accurately capture the dynamics and density of tape saturation. The best thing is that you can control the amount of density your track has. This is an great way to make those guitars sit in the mix while standing out fat and punchy.

These convolution reverbs allow superior quality natural sounding rooms to now be used in the studio environment for mixing. These reverbs are far more realistic sounding then your standard plugin effects. The reason for this is they playback impulse responses that are sampled from real acoustic spaces.

Recording School Online has produced the world's largest impulse response library of acoustic rooms specifically for mixing drums and percussion. When added to your drum tracks the result is warm, rich acoustics that you can completely control with a massive library of drum rooms, studios, plates, clubs, theaters, unusual spaces all with a verity of microphone placement.

All 335+ impulse responses in this collection were sampled at 32 Bit/96 kHz for absolute highest quality. This library is compatible with the largest array of convolution reverbs including:

  • Native Instruments Kontakt 2/3
  • Voxengo Pristine Space and Analog Flux Suite
  • SIR 1 (free) and SIR2
  • Waves IR-1Audioease Altiverb
