Experience the Amber 4 Ultra plug-in suite by Acustica Audio.
The newest release from Acustica Audio utilizes their Hyper technology and updated Aria engine to offer an improved 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 upgraded visuals and better audio quality.
The suite includes two EQ plug-ins called Amber 4 Ultra and Amber 4 Stereo Ultra. Both have the same controls, but the Stereo version has separate controls for each channel. Each plug-in has four bands with frequency and gain controls. 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 that allows users to target mid, left/right, and side signals, while Amber 4 Stereo Ultra provides separate control over the left/mid and right/side channels. Acustica claims that the first option is one of the most powerful parametric EQs with low noise in the digital realm, and they assure that the latter is 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 for a clear and natural dynamic processing. It includes typical compressor controls as well as features like side-chain filtering, stereo linking options, a blend control for mid, left/right, and side signals, and built-in parallel compression.
Amber 4 Pre Ultra concludes the collection with a variety of eight emulations of Class A preamp designs. These emulations include both solid-state and valve-based units, and they all have a user-friendly interface with controls for input and output levels, as well as preamp gain and high-pass filter settings.
With the introduction of the new Aira engine, all plug-ins now have the capability to show dynamic and real-time metering displays, as well as utilize the company's Anti-Aliasing algorithm. Additionally, they have lower CPU usage compared to previous versions.
