A set of legendary hardware modeling plugins that will immerse you in true analog magic. Deep Vintage doesn’t just strive to faithfully reproduce circuits or specific timbral qualities, it models the entire sound to reproduce the “soul” of vintage in the digital world. Depth, brilliance, low-end richness… every nuance of the hardware’s sonic spirit is ready to ignite, with minimal CPU usage and latency.
What’s the difference
We’ve been exposed to numerous emulation technologies: physical modeling, convolution… and many more. Regardless of which technologies we use, our ultimate goal remains the same: to achieve the highest possible fidelity to the sound of real devices.
APNN has been carefully designed and trained to excel at this task, as its training is based on audio signals from real hardware devices. Deep Vintage plugins are not just “theoretically correct circuit modeling” and are not based solely on harmonic structures or impulse responses; they capture 100% of the 3D sensation in analog audio.
How does this work
Simply put, APNN is a neural network specifically optimized for audio processing, which consists of a massive combination of audio processing modules (equalizer, compressor, overdrive, etc.).
To capture the essence of the hardware model, APNN will automatically adjust its structure and parameters until the difference between its output and the hardware output gradually decreases.
Ultimately, APNN achieves a phase compensation error signal of approximately -40 dB to -75 dB (depending on the equipment model). With this exceptional level of error control, which even exceeds the variance between different production lots of the same equipment model, we can confidently say that APNN is able to “fool” human ears.
Included Plugins
- ◌ Brit 73: Inspired by the most legendary preamplifier on this planet. This solid state Class A preamplifier with EQ embodies the beauty of sound, offering unrivaled clarity, brilliance and bite.
- ◌ Brit 84: Inspired by the original model of such a coveted preamplifier as the Brit 73, the Brit 84 has additional frequency bands, a unique “High Q” mode and an additional low-pass filter. However, the Brit 84 is not just an “improved version” of the Brit 73, because each of them has excellent sonic characteristics.
- ◌ Green AD: Does it make a difference when we directly connect the AD (Analog to Digital Converter) to the DA (Digital to Analog Converter)? Absolutely yes!
- ◌ Nylon: Inspired by a unique and exciting circuit, Nylon offers two color modes: Yellow for shimmering highs and Green for powerful lows. Both effects are “transparent overdrives” that add subtle harmonic content that’s softer than typical saturators.
- ◌ Tape M: Inspired by the legendary 2-track tape machine from Germany in the 70s, Tape M has a warm, distinctive character with a lively low end. Due to its earlier origins, it has a richer coloration and slightly more pronounced wah/flutter. At a higher temperature, it adds subtle harmonic distortion, helping to achieve loudness without excessive compression, making it a refined tool for mixdown or mastering.
- ◌ Tape S: Inspired by the 1/4″ tape machine from the late 80’s and early 90’s that is loved by many professionals for its unique sonic signature, the Tape S delivers exceptional sound quality when mixing. Featuring warm mids, smooth highs and rich harmonics, it enhances the depth and richness of the sound in any bus or master mix.
- ◌ Thick Pre: Inspired by a legendary vintage preamp known for its thick, warm and smooth sound, this model features a “Presence” control for enhancing additional harmonics, as well as a unique “Deep” switch that can make your sound even bigger and thicker!
- ◌ Transformer X: Besides vacuum tubes, the most tone-defining component in hardware circuits is the transformer – especially vintage transformers with their signature “iron sound”. Based on a vintage American transformer, the Transformer X easily adds warmth, body and low-end punch to your sound.
- ◌ Tube Bell: As a complement to the Tube Shelf, the Tube Bell is primarily responsible for processing the midrange frequencies. It features two Peak sections and a Dip section, which utilize Bell-type filters.
- ◌ Tube Filter: Enhances the Tube Shelf and Tube Bell with a High Cut and Low Cut. While the High Cut is less commonly used in mixing, the smooth, natural High Cut Tube Filter does a great job of “darkening” the sound when needed.
- ◌ Tube Shelf: Inspired by one of the most iconic and musical software EQs of all time, the Tube Shelf accurately emulates the EQ characteristics and unique tonal coloration of the original tube electronics.
- ◌ US Rack: Inspired by the legendary “US” style channel strip, incorporating a preamp, line driver, and famous EQ, the US Rack delivers a very musical and rich analog sound while maintaining exceptional flexibility.
