Hornet Plugins introduce AnalogStage

According to the developer, AnalogStage emulates the sound of three classic analog technologies: operational amplifier, transistor and tube. Two analog VU meters, autogain and an "age" slider (to simulate the aging of condensers inside the console) are also included.

Full features include:

• Three different types of emulation: op.amp., transistor and tube.
• Instances can be grouped so a parameter change is applied to the whole group.
• Age control simulates the aging of the analog device changing saturation and frequency response.
• Adjustable input gain from -18dB to +18dB.
• Stereo VU meter calibrated to 0 dBFS.
• Adjustable automatic gain technology.
• Separate saturation and hiss controls.
• Analog component tolerance emulation.
• Mac OS X (>=10.5 intel only) and Windows support.
• 64-bit compatibility both on Mac and Windows.
• Audio Units, VST, VST3, RTAS and AAX format.

Hornet Plugins' AnalogStage is available for €17.99, and a free demo is available at www.hornetplugins.com.
