Solid State Logic Duende Native Studio Bundle

Solid State Logic Duende Overview

The Duende Native Studio Pack from Solid State Logic features six native plug-ins derived from the company's legendary hardware. Available for host programs running under Mac OS X and Windows, the plug-ins bring professional audio quality, sophistication and benchmark performance within reach of all DAW users.

The Duende Native Channel plug-in is ported from the C200 console and includes separate high and low pass filters, a four band parametric equalizer, an independent compressor/limiter and gate/expander as well as an output gain adjustment knob.

The Duende Bus Compressor brings the dual benefits of spectacular audio performance with a universally acclaimed compressor characteristic. Taking its sonic cues from the bus compressor found in the Solid State Logic SL 4000 G Series console, the plug-in delivers a sound quality that has produced hundreds of best selling recordings.

With Drumstrip, DAW users can increase presence, clarity and detail in their drum tracks and reduce spill in individual tracks. Other enhancements that can be made include restoring natural brightness, achieving greater perceived loudness and shortening or lengthening the attack and sustain of percussive signals. Finally the plug-in is able to tighten up booming toms, make kicks and snares stand out in a mix, and parallel compress room microphones.

Vocalstrip combines four processing elements to create a simple route to professional vocal recordings. Combining EQ and dynamics sections with essential vocal processors, the plug-in is able to bring power, character and clarity to vocal tracks, all from within a single interface.

X-EQ is an open and transparent sounding parametric EQ that provides the user with a comprehensive range of EQ tools. The plug-in is exceptionally flexible with the ability to be surgically precise for mastering duties, or to smooth and sculpt tones for everyday audio production and is particularly suited to real time manipulation for dramatic filter sweep effects.

X-Comp is a stereo compressor that delivers mastering grade audio fidelity with a distinctly analog feel and can be used for everything from subtle dynamic control for mastering, to dramatic brick wall effects that inject raw energy and power.
