Information

Essential Information About Analog Channel Native v7 Software
• Two complementary plugins for true analog color in mixing: AC101 (preamp/channel) and AC202 (tape and tape machine).
• Controlled analog saturation: add density, warmth, harmonics, and "glue" without slowing down the workflow.
• Typical tape machine settings on the AC202: bias, tape speed, IEC1/IEC2 standards to shape response and grain.
• High-precision processing with double precision and ultra low latency, suitable for mixing and mastering.

What Analog Channel Native v7 Is For

Analog Channel Native v7 is a coloration plugin designed to bring the character of analog into modern production. It can be used on individual tracks (vocals, drums, bass, guitars, synths) as well as on buses (drum bus, mix bus) to enhance the sense of depth, smooth the high end, thicken the low-mids, and provide overall cohesion to the mix.

Whether you are looking for subtle "console-like" warmth or a more pronounced tape effect, Analog Channel integrates naturally into a mixing and pre-mastering workflow, especially to give a more organic sound to ITB (in the box) productions.

Main Features

AC101: Analog Channel Emulation

The AC101 plugin operates like an adjustable analog amplifier. It allows adding musical harmonic saturation and slight natural compression, useful to make a source stand out in the mix, thicken a vocal, add bite to a snare, or round off a bass. Available in mono and stereo, it is ideal for building a coherent processing chain track by track, upstream of an EQ or compressor.

AC202: Tape and Tape Machine, From Modern to Vintage

The AC202 emulates widely used tape playback systems, with options covering modern and vintage tape formulations. Controls inspired by professional tape machines (including bias, tape speed, and IEC1/IEC2 standards) allow fine adjustment of the balance between brightness, roundness, transient compression, and harmonic thickness.

To further refine the sense of realism, the AC202 includes a playback head emulation based on specifications and measurements from popular playback head manufacturers ("reproducers"). The result is a more credible rendering in texture, response, and the way the signal "imprints" itself in the mix.

Processing Quality and Session Responsiveness

Analog Channel Native v7 relies on double precision processing to preserve definition, especially during subtle adjustments and stacking of instances. The ultra low latency facilitates use in sessions, including on buses, without disrupting workflow comfort.

Questions frequently asked

What effects do the AC101 and AC202 modules provide?

The AC101 emulates an analog channel through an adjustable amplifier, with harmonic saturation and slight natural compression. The AC202 replicates the behavior of tape and tape recorders, with both modern and vintage models.

Can Analog Channel Native v7 be used on vocals and the mix bus?

It is possible to insert both configurations on vocal tracks, drums, bass, guitars, or synths, as well as on a drum bus or mix bus. The AC101 is available in mono and stereo. Its processing can thicken a vocal or enhance the snap of a snare drum.

What tape settings are available on the AC202?

The controls for bias, tape speed, and IEC1/IEC2 standards adjust the balance between brightness, warmth, and transient compression. An emulation of the playback head based on specifications and measurements from reproducers' manufacturers is also integrated.

Is Analog Channel Native v7 compatible with Mac and Windows?

The announced compatibility covers macOS 10.13 High Sierra to macOS 14 Sonoma, as well as Windows 10. macOS 10.12 Sierra may operate without official support.
