Brainworx bx_console Amek 9099

The Brainworx bx_console Amek 9099 plugin makes the legendary sound of a Rupert Neve console available inside your DAW. Building on the legacy of the iconic Amek 9098i Master Console, this console plugin provides an expander/gate, a compressor, a limiter, a four-band EQ, a Mono Maker knob, and a Stereo Width knob. It also includes gain reduction meters alongside input and output meters (VU and dBu).

The built-in EQ includes unique “Sheen,” “Notch,” and “Glow” modes that allow you to shape the character of sounds with enhanced detail. There’s an “Ambience” switch that you can use to solo the portion of the signal affected by compression. Brainworx engineers have also added a soft "Clip" function that you can use to sculpt dynamics and add subtle distortion to your mixes.

Powered by Tolerance Modeling Technology (TMT), the bx_console Amek 9099 meticulously emulates the subtle channel-to-channel variations of a real analog console, providing a rich, dimensional sound that sets it apart from other console plugins. Pressing the Random Channel “ALL” button applies a different pair of TMT channels to each instance of the plugin in your session, meaning each instance will sound unique.

The Black Box Analog Design HG-2MS

The Black Box Analog Design HG-2MS is a colorful frequency-selective tube saturator; it’s an enhanced version of the Black Box Analog Design HG-2 with mid-side processing and some other added features. Engineers like Dave Pensado, Bob Horn, and Jack Douglas rely on the creamy transformers found in the Black Box HG-2 to enhance the punch and loudness of their mixes.

With the ability to emulate four different vacuum tube stages, the HG-2MS offers a wide palette of harmonic colors to enhance your mix.

It’s also possible to drive both tubes while keeping input and output levels balanced using the Density knob.

Features like the Air knob and Calibration switches offer further customization, letting you fine-tune the high-frequency response to apply dark, normal, or bright coloration.

 Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor Class A

The Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor Class A is an enhanced emulation of one of the most prestigious hardware compressors used in mastering studios. It applies optical and/or discrete VCA compression to your mixes, depending on the settings you’ve selected. You can also toggle between three output transformers (Nickel, Iron, and Steel) that shift the plugin’s tonal balance.

The Class A version that was modeled has a different character than the original Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor; this is a result of the Class A discrete compressor section that utilizes Lundahl input transformers and was hand-wired with Mogami cable. Compared to the original, you can expect smoother compression, a punchier VCA, a larger sense of size and depth, along with a thicker and richer tone.

This plugin also includes Brainworx features like TMT, mid-side processing, a Mono Maker knob, a Stereo Width knob, a Parallel Mix knob, and a sidechain filter. If you’re looking for a desert island mastering compressor, the versatility of the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor Class A makes it an excellent choice.
