With Cola (Cola C228 standalone plugin)<\/strong>, Acustica Audio<\/strong> is introducing a first-of-its-kind in AI-based approaches to mixing. Unlike other companies, who simply classify the nature of audio content (violins, drums, vocals, etc.) with the aim of implementing an auto-mix functionality with the software, Acustica <\/strong>choose a completely different approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The centrepiece of Cola suite is a rare British console from 1972 <\/strong>used to shape the immortal sound of iconic albums by AC\/DC, Queen, Clash, Sex Pistols and many more. The emulation embodies the essence and the behaviour of this sexy beast – a fully discrete, class A console with mastering grade inductor Eq’s on each channel and a 44-Volt audio power supply that gives it a smooth and clear sound with big and solid bass, low noise and lots of headroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to this beautiful console, Acustica<\/strong> has emulated some extremely refined and very rare pieces of gear to accurately deliver the classic tone that can be found at of Vox-ton’s (http:\/\/www.vox-ton.com\/). Vox-Ton<\/strong> is a fully analog recording studio based in Berlin, Germany, run by skilled engineers Francesco Donadello and Niels Zuiderhoek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acustica<\/strong> and Vox-Ton<\/strong> studio joined forces for this exciting project to give you one of the best vintage plugin suites ever created in the digital domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

WHAT YOU GET<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Cola suite consists of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Cola C-228 (Vintage 3-Band Inductor Equalizer with High-pass and Low-pass Filters ).<\/li>
  • Cola C-415 (Vintage Valve Pre \/ 3-Band Passive Equalizer).<\/li>
  • Cola C-1671 (Vintage Germanium Graphic Equalizer ).<\/li>
  • Cola C-505 (Vintage Discrete Compressor\/Limiter).<\/li>
  • Cola Channel-strip (Channel strip that includes some of the previous cited standalone plugins).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Each plug-in included in the Cola suite comes in Standard version and an alternative \u201cZL*\u201d version which operates at *zero latency and is thus suitable for use when tracking, at the cost of extra processing resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cola C-228 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"Cola<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If you are not familiar with this unit, then you should know it’s one of the best consoles ever manufactured by a celebrated British company founded in 1968 – with a long history of excellence in the world of recording, touring and theatre. The Cola 228 Vintage EQ plug-in is a faithful emulation of one of the best desk models of this company. It includes several controls and is amazingly intuitive to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cola C-415<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"Cola<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Cola C-415 is an plugin emulation inspired by a British valve mic-amp \/ mixer from the 1950\/60s used by producer Joe Meek to which we have added an entire and authentic collection of vintage preamps, an accurate end-to-end circuit emulation of the bass, mid and treble EQ sections, taking inspiration from his big brother, namely the 4M\/15W model. These units have gained a ‘cult’ status in the vintage recording world. They were used on many legendary records from the ’50s and ’60s and used extensively at famous studios for film productions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cola C-1671<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Cola 1671 is a 9-band graphic EQ based on a rare discrete germanium equaliser introduced in U.K. in the early 1960s. This highly appreciated solid-state device employed germanium transistors and came with a remote controller. This machine was an integral part of the outboard setup of many recording studios in the middle of the 60s\/70s and was used for many famous musical productions. The great engineer Neil Kernon recalls: “we had racks of these Eqs back in the day\u201d. He used them all the time for doing extreme EQ’ing”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    “Although it’s a fantastic all-around Eq, it’s one of my favorites on bass and synths” – Francesco Donadello<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cola C-505<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"Cola<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Cola C505 is a versatile limiter\/compressor plugin that provides the distinctive controls of the original British discrete transistor hardware, which is well-known for adding punch on busses and individual tracks. This compressor is super rare. In fact, we suspect that only 4 were custom built for the historic PYE Recording Studio in London. It features Marinair ins and outs, an S7C transformer and a mix of discrete class A transistors and some of the first OPamps ever developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    COLA suite is based on our Core 13 (version 13.5) engine:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    • NEW: Our new Core 13 engine improves on the previous version by introducing our new VLA\u2122 technology (Vector Loading Acceleration), which makes the response of the plugin much faster.<\/li>
    • Upgraded SASM (Symmetric & Asymmetric Saturation Modelling) high-performance saturation algorithm;<\/li>
    • Introduction of a new post-production sample de-noising tech for cleaner deconvolved impulses called STT (Super transient technology);<\/li>
    • Full compatibility with Client\/Server architecture integrated by default in Acqua plugins;<\/li>
    • Engine optimisation introducing a new highly efficient algorithm. This innovative technique is applied to all the deconvolved impulses for further de-noise processing and subsequent elimination of any incorrect low-level behaviour (including the so-called “echo bug”).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
