Channel strip... it doesn't roll off the tongue or smack of a high fidelity recording device. Maybe thats why its taken Grace Design so long to build one. But they got over it. All labels aside, the new m103 is a powerful tracking tool for virtually any recording scenario. It starts with their m101 transformerless microphone preamplifier circuity. Headroom, detail, clarity, musicality – its all there. Complete with their exclusive ribbon mic mode, a 75Hz HPF and 48V phantom.
The 3 band EQ section is built around single stage parallel tuning architecture, which minimizes circuitry and delivers natural, musical tonal shaping at all frequencies. Controls include a fully parametric mid, with shelving and peak modes on the high and low bands.
The compressor circuit is based on an optical ...

Oct 20 - 12:10 PM | Plug-ins > Ohm Force |
Ohm Force has announced that they are globally reducing their advertised prices. And it's not a promo: it's for real and forever !!
Not only the plug-ins licenses are globally much more affordable when purchased individually, the big ALL-ALL Bundle can now be grabbed by only €299 instead of €493.
Ohm Force has also unveiled a new bundle especially tailored for live performers : the ALL-Live Bundle. It contains the 3 from which features are specially suitable for live tweaking: Ohmicide:Melohman, Symptohm:Melohman and the Quad Frohmage – the three for only €199. The first two, as the Melohman part of the name suggests, have extended preset morphing capabilities: it's possible to morph from one preset on the fly to another using a midi keyboard controller, with a full set of configurable parameters. The latter is one of the most powerful filter banks out there, with an advanced XADSR module, 6 midi controlled envelope followers, 6 event generators, among many other killer features.
