Oct 15 - 01:47 PM | Plug-ins > Audio Ease |
Audio Ease has finally released Speakerphone, their speaker simulator plug-in announced a year ago. A bad GSM connection on a busy sidewalk, a bullhorn with feedback and a helicopter overhead, or a 1952 rockabilly guitar amp in a recording studio live room: Speakerphone gives you authentic speakers of any size together with their natural environments.
All the walkie-talkies, distant transistor radios, Guitar cabinets, upstairs TV sets, bullhorns and cell phones you'll ever need. Speakerphone will add dial tones, operators and static, and you can select from a wealth of ambiences on either the caller or receiver's end. And with a click you can send anything from the sample-playback bay right to the cursor in your Pro Tools track.
Operation is extremely quick: you just call up one of the hundreds of carefully crafted and archived presets. If you're a tweaker just click 'show controls' and the whole dashboard slides out, at your disposal, with the most minute detail.
Speakerphone, powered by Altiverb, combines a wealth of effects including a convolution engine that uses actual samples of hundreds of original speakers, a radio receiver tuning dial, record player scratch and static generator, GSM cell phone data compression, distortion, tremolo, delay, a variety of EQ and dynamics, bit crushing, sample rate reduction, a full blown convolution reverb, and a library of samples to combine into entire environments.
And then there's the host of classic guitar amps, complete with tailor made distortion, spring reverbs, and everything else to build guitar tone like you've never heard from a plug-in.
Speakerphone is available now for Mac OS X in VST, RTAS, AudioSuite, Audio Unit and MAS formats but also for Windows in RTAS and VST formats at a retail price of $495 / € 395 ex VAT.
