Solid State Logic has announced the release of Duende Native. Duende Native plug-ins are functionally and sonically identical to the now discontinued DSP powered Duende plug-ins, but they run natively using your host computers processing resources.
The Duende Native Plug-in suite is a collection of audio processing tools which bring professional audio quality, sophistication and benchmark performance within reach of all DAW users. Duende plug-ins provide the precision, advanced feature set and legendary tonal characteristics of SSL console products in VST, AU and RTAS* plug-in formats.
The foundations of the Duende Native collection are plug-in adaptations of two SSL console classics:
- The EQ & Dynamics Channel plug-in provides an EQ & Dynamics processing solution with the power, precision, flexibility and signature tone of an SSL console channel strip.
- The Stereo Bus Compressor plug-in gives you the classic SSL stereo master bus compressor that brings power and punch to your mix without compromising clarity.
In addition to these SSL classics, Duende Native includes:
- Drumstrip and Vocalstrip which are 'task specific' plug-ins that each gather together a set of carefully selected and lovingly crafted processing tools to get you straight to outstanding Drum and Vocal sounds quickly and easily.
- X-EQ and X-Comp are both mastering grade processors that deliver balance of precision and tonal character.
- X-Verb is an powerful and flexible processor which brings "beautiful hardware standard Reverb to your DAW".
