You have arrived at the Amber 4 Ultra plug-in suite by Acustica Audio.
The newest release from Acustica Audio utilizes their Hyper technology and new Aria engine to offer an upgraded version of their well-known Amber 4 plug-in suite. Amber 4 Ultra features accurate models of Class A equipment such as two EQs, a compressor, and a preamp, all with improved graphics and audio quality.
The suite includes two EQ plug-ins called Amber 4 Ultra and Amber 4 Stereo Ultra. Both have the same set of controls, but the Stereo version has separate controls for each channel. Each plug-in has four bands with controls for frequency and gain. The low- and high-mid bands have a width parameter, while the low- and high-frequency bands have a control to switch between peak and shelf filter types.
Amber 4 Ultra offers a continuous control option that allows users to focus on mid, left/right, and side signals. On the other hand, Amber 4 Stereo Ultra allows for separate control over the left/mid and right/side channels. Acustica claims that the first option is a highly powerful parametric EQ with minimal noise in the digital realm, while the second option is touted as one of the most musically transparent EQ choices in their lineup.
The Amber 4 Comp Ultra emulates a Class-A opto compressor using Hyper technology to provide a clear dynamics processor. It includes typical compressor parameters as well as features like side-chain filtering, adjustable stereo linking, controls for blending mid, left/right, and side signals, and built-in parallel compression.
Amber 4 Pre Ultra concludes the collection with a variety of emulations of Class A preamp designs. The collection includes both solid-state and valve-based units with a straightforward set of controls for input and output levels, as well as Preamp (gain) and Filter (high-pass).
The latest Aira engine has upgraded all plug-ins to include dynamic and real-time metering displays, as well as the company's Anti-Aliasing algorithm. Additionally, the new plug-ins have lower CPU usage than before.
