Daisy expertly captures every nuance of each device, offering a range of sonic characteristics from the most transparent to the richly colored, making it an essential tool for anyone looking to enhance their mastering capabilities. This tool blends the revered qualities of analog sound with the precision of modern digital technology, enhancing the auditory experience far beyond simple emulation.

Daisy offers an auditory experience of 18 different emulations from 14 high-value hardware units, resulting in 6 AD (Analog to Digital) and 12 DA (Digital to Analog) conversions, collectively valued well into the six-figure range, significantly enriching the mastering and audio enhancement process. Each unit has been meticulously chosen for its superior sound quality and durability, as well as its iconic status in world-class studios.

Acustica has enlisted the expertise of seasoned professionals in the hi-end and pro audio sectors to select the most performant devices, each renowned for its unique sound characteristics. Daisy meticulously replicates the essence of these revered devices, bringing unparalleled audio fidelity into your studio environment. This opens the door to elite studio-quality sound that was previously accessible only to a select few with the means to build enviable sonic environments.

• Emulated ADC Models: Offers six ADC models that range from transparent solid-state to warmer and more colored tones, accommodating a variety of sound preferences.
• Emulated DAC Models: Includes twelve DAC models from ultra-clean solid-state to warm and lush hybrid and tube types, catering to diverse mastering needs.
• Drift Button: Simulates random variations in signal timing, adding subtle imperfections for an analog-like feel, enhancing the musicality.
• ADC Drive: Adds analog-like warmth and depth by increasing saturation at the ADC input, enriching the audio quality.
• DAC De-Correlate: Enhances the stereo image with unique spatial enhancements, enriching the mix and providing a wider soundstage.
• Advanced Metering and Real-Time Waveform Visualization: Provides new in-out Peak - Rms meters and waveform visualization, enabling detailed monitoring and analysis during the mastering process.
• Dither Menu with 8 Modes: Provides a variety of dithering algorithms tailored to different audio production needs, enhancing the final output quality.
• Bit Depth Menu: Allows users to select from a range of bit depths, from 8-bit to 32-bit, offering flexibility for various mastering requirements.
• Ceiling Menu with 5 Modes: Features flexible peak management options, including three different True Peak algorithms, to ensure precision and protection during the mastering process.
• Factory Presets: Includes expertly crafted presets that offer quick starting points and creative inspiration for various projects.

With Daisy, you can independently enable or disable ADC and DAC emulations, giving you the flexibility to:

• Use only the ADC for coloration and harmonic enhancement.
• Use only the DAC to shape playback tone or enhance spatial depth.
• Combine both for a complete AD-DA signal chain, creating an authentic analog-like path.

This comprehensive collection of AD/DA emulations makes Daisy an indispensable tool for mastering, mixing, and critical listening, offering unparalleled flexibility and sonic refinement.

Daisy excels in mastering environments where both subtlety and significant audio sculpting are required. The plugin's comprehensive control set allows for detailed manipulation of the audio signal, ensuring that masters sound polished and consistent across various playback systems.

• Dynamic Range Control: Use the ADC Drive to introduce gentle saturation for a thicker sound without the harshness often associated with digital clipping.
• Stereo Imaging: Deploy the DAC De-Correlate feature to enhance the stereo spread, adding a dimension of spatial depth that can help separate instruments in the mix.
• Final Polish: Utilize the Ceiling and Dither options to ensure your master does not only meet but exceeds industry standards for digital audio playback.

With Daisy, mastering engineers are equipped with an finalizer tool that bridges the gap between analog warmth and digital clarity. The plugin's versatility makes it a valuable addition to any audio processing setup, delivering both subtle nuances and bold transformations, all while maintaining the highest fidelity and user control. Harness these features wisely to achieve mastering results that are both artistically satisfying and technically proficient.
