14th March 2022 - KVR Audio News

NoiseAsh Audio has released NEED Preamp and Eq Collection as a bundle for macOS (Native Apple Silicon supported) and Windows in VST3, AU, and AAX plug-in formats.

NoiseAsh Audio says:

The British-style console preamp and eq units have been the most sought-after equipment since the first days they came out. Queen, Nirvana, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, David Bowie, Foo Fighters, Slipknot, Metallica, Adele, Drake ...etc as just a few examples.

They've been used on countless classic top platinum-selling albums and are also still widely used, which confirms these vintage modules' status much-wanted classic units that every mixing/mastering environment needs.

NEED Preamp and Eq Collection include 7 Classic British-style preamp/eq plugins. Analog domain components have some little tonal nuance differences which create some deviations concerning their theoretical values. Nuance Deviation System (NDS) is the NoiseAsh Audio proprietary signal processing model, which emulates the sonic character deviations of the analog components. Individual Left-Mid and Right-Side channels can be alternated with NDS. There are plenty of carefully modeled console channels and each number stands for a console channel bearing its deviation. With NDS, real tonal differences can be captured quickly.

NoiseAsh Audio continues:

Innovative NoiseAsh analog modeling technology has given the analog reality with a very light CPU usage, expanded modern features like NDS & Mid/Side options, and maximum accurate Anti-Aliasing Analog tone behavior. All of the models in NEED Preamp and Eq Collection are much more than emulations. They are what every mixing/mastering environment needs for letting you enjoy all the warm tones of a mythical piece of the studio consoles, right in your DAW, in-the-box, very easily. You NEED this.
