: Pick from 60 starting points that emulate Diode Bridge, VCA, FET, Opto, tube, and tape styles. V2.0 added a Wet/Dry mix control for parallel compression.
: High and low-pass filters can be placed pre/post the compressor or assigned to the side-chain. How to Build Your "Piece" Classic Console Strip Pro - URS Plugins
: Fifteen input transformer and tape combinations, plus five distinct console summing buss profiles. 2. Compressor and Limiter Section
Adds second-order harmonic distortion, thickening mid-range frequencies.
The URS Classic Console Strip Pro does not mimic a single console. Instead, it distills the essence of several classic designs—namely, the API 500-series channel strip, the SSL 4000 E-series dynamics, and the Neve 1073 EQ curves. The result is a versatile tool that can sound:
The 30 selectable models are drawn from historic gear categories:
The plug-in was rebuilt to handle modern, high-sample-rate sessions (up to 192kHz) while drastically lowering the CPU hit per instance. This allowed engineers to run the strip across dozens of tracks simultaneously.
: Offers 30 selectable compressor/limiter algorithms, allowing you to switch between VCA, Opto, FET, and Mu characteristics. Signal Flow Flexibility
The URS Classic Console Strip Pro is a comprehensive VST plugin developed by URS (Universal Recording Studios), a company renowned for its high-quality audio processing tools. This plugin meticulously emulates the behavior of classic analog console channel strips, bringing to your digital audio workstation (DAW) the essence of vintage recording consoles.
The EQ section provides precise frequency sculpting. It mimics the distinct curves and phase characteristics of vintage hardware units. Boosts or cuts low-end fundamental frequencies.
The compressor is highly versatile, capable of mimicking everything from the "snap" of a 1967 American limiter to the smooth leveling of a vintage Opto unit.
The EQ section is incredibly musical, offering digitally modeled curves from classic hardware.
The plugin is divided into several independent sections that can be reordered using a flexible signal flow display: URS Plugins Classic Console Strip Pro - URS Plugins
