In the Pro Audio sector, the quest for tools that combine intuitive workflow, immediate execution, and high-quality, authentic analog sound in the box is unending. Acustica has met this challenge with Wine, a plugin that not only functions as powerful tools but also enhances the creative experience. This allows users to produce competitively loud and professional-sounding masters without compromising the quality of their tracks.
This master bus beast definitely needs to be tamed, and it can also simplify the final, crucial phase of the production process: mastering. When you think the master is complete, using Wine can bring a new level of refinement, ensuring that your track achieves its full potential.
“To drink wine is to drink genius”.
Charles Baudelaire
Creating Wine has been like making a wine to be proud of. Not unlike the process of producing a grand cuvée, we select the finest components with the same care and love a vintner would choose the best grapes. These elements are meticulously blended with precision and methodology. Just as a winemaker introduces innovative techniques to enhance the vintage, we infuse new tech features into our product. This approach ensures that this release, much like a superbly aged wine, enriches and amplifies the sensory experience it delivers.
Carefully memorize the terms Analog Plus and Euphonic starting today, they proudly enter Acustica's vocabulary not merely as buzzwords, but as terms that encapsulate a new leap forward in Acustica's technology, revisiting its roots and embracing the concept of preamplification with an emphasis on dynamic range and improved stereo panorama perception. This implies an approach closer to hardware, definitively bypassing the artifacts introduced by the traditional dynamic approach to preamplifier reproduction, as initially experimented by Acustica. This allows for the capture of some of the dynamic behaviors characteristic of preamplifiers, offering a superior analog listening experience compared to the past without any artifacts. We are thrilled to share these innovations with our dedicated users, and we hope that Analog Plus and Euphonic will enhance your sonic experiences.
