Hier die Beschreibung des Herstellers:
Character, Grit, and Finesse:
PreAMPed is an audio plugin that recreates many of the qualities of analog preamplifiers. This includes subtle EQ response curves, low- and high- frequency saturation, differences between left and right signals, crosstalk, noise, transformer/coil impulse response, and saturation and EQ changes due to gain changes.
Thirteen Separate Preamp Models:
Hardware preamps have subtle differences between every make and model. PreAMPed has 13 distinct preamp models with separate EQ curves, saturation sounds, transient responses, crosstalk, and a many other specifications. Overall PreAMPed utilizes over forty separate parameters to determine each of the 13 different preamp modules within PreAMPed. From the clean and refined sound of the Blue B, Grey, and Steel models, to the distinct character of older preamp models like the Red, Old, or Tape D models.
Standard Control:
As a tool, PreAMPed can be used on multiple tracks to provide subtle enhancement to individual track elements, or on overall mixes. PreAMPed includes many controls that are common on mixing consoles and separate hardware preamps. This includes a 4-band EQ, a phase inversion switch, a left and right signal swapping switch, input trim control, and output gain control.
In-depth Adjustments:
In addition to the common hardware controls, PreAMPed also includes several useful settings that help fine-tune the sound. This includes an output signal clipper to prevent signal clipping or to add an additional distorted sound, mid/side processing option to tweak the stereo imaging, and additional saturation controls to add specified levels of distortion to the needed frequencies. PreAMPed also has switchable oversampling to improve the analog feel of the EQ controls and to reduce aliasing. Finally, PreAMPed includes LVC-Audio’s user-friendly visual metering of the input and output signals that includes VU-style metering, PPM-style metering, and an output loudness meter that displays peak and RMS levels.
