Nomad Factory Blue Tubes Dynamics Pack

The Blue Tubes Dynamics Pack is a collection of six plug-in processors that recreate the warm sound qualities of classic analog hardware. The sound quality of Blue Tubes is nothing short of amazing. Yet all six plug-ins provide a simple and functional "vintage-style" interface, as well as very low CPU consumption for lightning-fast processing. The Blue Tubes Dynamics Pack has been totally redesigned to offer even more great features to polish your digital sound recordings.   Bundle contains:

• BT Brickwall BW-2S
• BT Compressor CP-2S
• BT DeEsser DS-2S
• BT Compressor FA770
• BT Expander Gate GX622
• BT Limiter LM-2S

BT Brickwall BW-2S The BT BrickWall BW2S-XP is a simple and elegant brick wall compressor/limiter. Just insert the BT BrickWall BW2S-EX on your mono or stereo track and you have smooth audio without the unwanted transients. By using this compressor/limiter on your master tracks the harsh peaks in your program material will be eliminated. This will allow you to increase the overall level of your mix.   Features:

• Variable Release times
• Threshold with maximizer control
• Brick-Wall Peak limiter control
• Full Automation for all parameters PC and Mac OS X
• Easy-to-use vintage interface with gain reduction VU Meter

BT Compressor CP-2S The BT Compressor CP2S emulates the look and feel of analog tube compressors and features both RMS and Peak compression functions. While most compressors can boast unique characteristics or color, the warm analog sound of the BT Compressor CP2S is extremely versatile. Once you hear it you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.   Features:

• Threshold and Ratio compression controls
• Variable Attack and Release times
• RMS and PEAK switch control
• Output level (Makeup Gain) control
• Full Automation for all parameters PC and Mac OS X
• Easy-to-use vintage interface with gain reduction VU Meter

BT DeEsser DS-2S The BT DeEsser DS-2S is a stereo de-esser with vintage controls and sound. This de-esser is designed to tame the harshness of certain vocal sounds, specifically "ess" sounds (hence, the name). However, this device can be useful in controlling the level of other 'sibilant" vocal sounds as well, such as "t", 'sh" or "f" to name a few. A de-esser works like a frequenty specific compressor. In fact, the DS2S is essentially a compressor driven by hi-pass/band-pass filters. It reduces the offending high frequencies when the level of those frequencies exceeds the threshold. Threshold and Frequency sliders are provided, as well as a Listen selector switch to reveal only the frequencies being de-essed.   Features:

• Threshold and Variable Range
• Internal Side Chain High and Low Pass Filters with Listen key
• HPF and BPF modes
• Full Automation for all parameters PC and Mac OS X
• Easy-to-use vintage interface with gain reduction VU Meter

BT Compressor FA770 The BT Compressor FA770 provides the operation and sound of highly coveted analog compressors. The FA770 is designed with a fixed-ratio and "time constant" switch (see features below) as part of its characteristic vintage sound. The FA770 proves that you do not need many knobs and sliders to achieve great compression sound!   Features:

• Input gain control
• Threshold control
• Presets of Attack/Release times (Time Constant)
• Output level (Makeup Gain) control
• Full Automation for all parameters PC and Mac OS X
• Easy-to-use vintage interface with gain reduction VU Meter

BT Gate Expander GX622 The BT Gate Expander GX622 tames the noise floor so that you hear only the audio you want to keep. This fully-adjustable gate/expander will reduce or cut the signal if the level becomes too low (as determined by the Gate Threshold setting). This controls unwanted background noise on the track(s). Like a compressor, the Attack and Release controls determine how fast the gate opens and closes. To activate the gate, you may use the two Filter controls (Side Chain).   Features:

• Variable Attack, Hold and Release times
• Threshold and Range controls
• Internal Side Chain High and Low Pass Filters with Listen key button
• Full Automation for all parameters PC and Mac OS X
• Easy-to-use vintage interface with gain reduction VU Meter

BT Limiter LM-2S The BT Limiter LM2S is an easy-to-use tube emulation limiter. The straightforward controls and out standing sound make this limiter the perfect tool for mastering. In addition to the basic limiting controls (Peak Reduction, Attack, Release, and Output Gain), the LM2S also includes a 5-band EQ. This allows you to address those final sonic details in a mastering session while increasing the apparent loudness of your mixes.   Features:

• Variable Attack and Release times
• Threshold compression control
• Output level controls
• 5 Band graphic equalizer with Pre/Post compressor
• Full Automation for all parameters PC and Mac OS X
• Easy-to-use vintage interface with gain reduction VU Meter
