PreSonus has updated its Studio Magic Plugin Suite for Mac and Windows. Free to new and existing registered owners of any currently available PreSonus audio interface or mixer, the 2018 Studio Magic Plugin Suite software bundle includes seven popular plugins in VST, AU (Mac), and AAX formats.
Add warmth, depth and character to your tracks with Klanghelm SDRR2tube. SDRR2tube can be a saturation processor, a compressor, an EQ, a bit-crusher, or a subtle stereo widener—or it can simply add movement to your tracks. A comprehensive set of controls enables you to manipulate the character of the saturation to make it sit perfectly in your mix.
Transform any instrument, synth, raw sound or full track in real time with Output Movement, an effects plugin for the studio or stage that adds rhythms to any input in real-time. Movement’s four rhythm engines with sidechains, proprietary Flux mode, LFOs, step sequencers, and macros blend seamlessly. Analog modeled effects optimized for modulation let you add rhythm with reverb and compressors pumping, filters and EQs opening and closing, delays morphing, and tube distortion warming and cooling.
SPL Attacker is a micro-plugin that employs the same Differential Envelope Technology as SPL’s Transient Designer. Using SPL Attacker, all attack events can be amplified, regardless of their signal level. By focusing on the initial transient instead of specific frequencies, SPL Attacker amplifies just the attack curves of a sound event. This allows instruments to be mixed at lower levels, which opens up space in the mix, while the relationship between tracks is preserved.
Mäag Audio EQ2 delivers the sound of the Mäag Audio EQ2 two-band hardware equalizer. Mäag Audio’s EQ design allows for exceptionally low phase shift across all EQ adjustments, which helps maintain the integrity of your mix’s original sound while enhancing the very high “air” frequencies. An input attenuator lets you normalize levels after applying EQ.
Lexicon’s MPX-i Reverb delivers seven classic Lexicon plate, hall, chamber, and room reverbs. A streamlined interface and 100 versatile, finely crafted presets enable you to quickly get the sound you want. Input and output metering let you monitor levels at a glance.
The Brainworx bx_opto compressor combines the best aspects and anomalies from several light-dependent compressor circuits. The result is a dynamics processor teeming with character and delivering sounds that can’t be achieved with analog optical compressors.
Arturia’s Analog Lab Lite is a “Greatest Hits” collection of physically modeled classic analog synths, organs, string machines, and pianos from Arturia’s V-Collection of virtual instruments. Enjoy models of iconic instruments from Oberheim, Roland, Sequential Circuits, ARP, Hammond, Fender, Wurlitzer, Moog, and Vox.
The PreSonus Studio Magic Plugin Suite is free to registered owners of PreSonus’ AudioBox 96 USB, AudioBox i series, Studio series, and Quantum series interfaces and StudioLive Series III, StudioLive AR USB, and StudioLive RML-series mixers.
The software will be automatically added to registered users’ online MyPreSonus accounts when they register an eligible interface or mixer in 2018.
