About Audiffex - Audified
In 1999 they started production of audio software effects as Audifed. They were the pioneers in audio hardware emulations. They were the first who brought audio FX plugins to MacOS X. Audified did some of the first plug-ins for PowerCore, TC Electronic’s hardware accelerated DSP platform. They specialized in simulation of real world hardware effects, amplifiers and other studio gear. As the time went, they exceeded this area and Audiffex became a product line of audio FX and applications for musicians. A solid part of the Audified portfolio.
Unique and faithful emulation of an old German broadcast compressor/limiter unit U73b
U73b is great for mastering, mixing drums, bass, guitar, vocals and voice overs.
The U73b compressor/limiter was often used for mastering between 1960 and 1980. It is an all tube vary-mu compressor/limiter with adjustable release time option. Audiffex kept the circuit exactly as it was originally designed and only added input and output gain (before and right after compressor circuit) to help with proper adjustment of the compression. The plugin effect has been also supplemented with a VU meter and selectable side-chaining.
The compressor`s controls are very easy, but the effect of this unique device is audible at the same moment you turn it on:
Compressor/Limiter switch – is the upper U73b knob and it switches between Compressor mode (Kompr), Bypass (Durchschalt) and Limiter mode (Begr). The compressor mode has lower threshold setting and very gentle increasing ratio, in opposite, the limiter mode provides higher threshold setting with higher ratio but still with smooth knee.
Release time – the first three positions offer fixed release time, the other three positions (marked red) provide adjustable program content dependent release time option.
IN – adjust input gain before the compressor/limiter circuit
OUT – adjust output gain after the compressor/limiter circuit.
Sidechain – selects the signal source used for controlling the gain reduction.
