UniChannel

Ein komplettes Vintage-Studio

Eine Sammlung von Vintage-Gear im Studio ist schön und inspirierend, aber leider auch zeitaufwändig und teuer. Boris Carloff, der Inhaber von SounDevice Studio, weiß das sehr genau, denn er sammelt seit mehr als 20 Jahren Vintage Equipment: "Es gibt immer etwas, das nicht funktioniert. Von Röhren bis zu Reglern und Anzeigen. Und die Geräte sind so selten, dass man sie fast nie auf mehreren Kanälen gleichzeitig nutzen kann." Um diese Einschränkungen zu vermeiden, hat sich United Plugins dazu inspirieren lassen, eine Lösung zu entwickeln, die das Beste aus diesen Geräten in einem Plugin vereint. Das Ergebnis ist UniChannel.

Features

• Complete vintage studio: UniChannel delivers warm analogue sound, but unlike its real hardware counterparts, it can be connected to every channel of your mix. You can also change the components with one click (instead of using a screwdriver or a patch bay). UniChannel has a preset for every occasion. And there are no ageing and broken components to maintain!

• 27+ plugins: UniChannel includes 3 preamp types, 3 kinds of EQ, and 3 compressor types. That makes a total of 27 combinations, with a unique character for each of them. That’s 27 unique plugins in one! Bypass the EQ or the Compressor and you will hear that the sound variety is almost endless. Variety inspires.

• VARM II: VARM II is technology based on knowledge of chaotic behaviour and randomness of the analogue world. Thanks to VARM II, each plugin instance acts slightly differently. VARM models randomness of the subtle differences of the values of the electrical parts - exactly as in the real electrical units and the real console channels. The result is the truest representation of the hardware units’ sound.

• The Germans: The full German Channel is amazing on the drum buss. It is something like magic on voice, and we wouldn’t use anything else for jazzy styles or ballad intimacy. German features a fifties-style tube preamp, sixties-style rare EQ, and a very early fifties tube vari-mu compressor.

• American sound: The US eighties-style op-amp preamp and the eighties-style EQ have mid punch, great for electric guitar or toms, and the US early fifties tube compressor is a fat monster that makes vocals silky with amazing colour.

• Classic British: The Classic British channel brings you fat transformer colour for aggressive bass, kick drum, and rock attitude. It includes a British seventies-style transformer fat preamp, a seventies-style EQ, and a seventies-style diode bridge compressor.

• Realistic 3D yet flexible GUI: The photorealistic graphic user interface of the plugin gives you the feeling you are touching the real hardware. But it easily adapts to your needs. You can always drag the arrow in the bottom right corner to change its size - make it smaller to save valuable screen space, or enlarge it to make it easier to use.

• 64-bit audio quality at ANY sampling rate: The plugin provides the maximum audio quality you can get. It uses internal 64-bit audio processing and can handle any sampling rate. 192 kHz or even higher.

• Intelligent sleep on silence: This plugin intelligently detects whether it makes sense to perform processing at all. And if not, it temporarily turns on sleep mode. In such a state, it requires virtually no CPU at all saves the computing sources for other processes.
