Arturia TridA-Pre v1.1.0 (VST, VST3, AAX) [Win x86 x64]

Description:

For decades, the concept of pop music has been synonymous with Trident Studios, a pioneer facility in the heart of London, in the SoHo area.
Their client list is read as who is who of pop music: The Beatles, Elton John, David Bowie, The Bee Gees, Genesis, Frank Zappa, Joe Cocker, Kiss, Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel, Mark Almond, Soft Cell, Queen, Rolling Stones, Thin Lizzy, Tina Turner, T-Rex, and Yes.
In the center of the sound studio was the console Trident Range. It became so well known for its magnificent, musical equalizer and the full, rich tone it conveyed soon, studios around the world placed orders for a number of their own. Although only 13 were ever done, they created a legacy that continues to this day.
Now, thanks to the innovative Arturia True Analog Emulation® technology, you too can experience the incredible sound correction power of the legendary Trident Preamplifier and EQ.
The best of both worlds
Hold on … my audio interface already has preamps. Why do I need a preamp plugin?
You’re right! Your audio interface uses its preamps to boost incoming signals to normal levels for recording and mixing.
In the digital age, preamps included audio interfaces, usually high transparency, amplifying the signal without adding “color,” a kind of tonal flavor that subtly changes the sound.
In the 60s and 70s, the period many consider the “golden age” of the recording studio, the preamps within their order of mixing consoles – like the Trident in the range – were the pioneers of technology. Mix engineer found that because of their analog components, preamps would add a certain character to the sound that each table gave, and therefore each studio, a specific “sound”. As engineers become experts with these consoles, they will use preamps as part of their creative process; pushing them hard to create a harmonic rich analogue of distortion, for example.
Now, thanks to the digital audio revolution and the power of modern computers, you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Arturia TRIDA-Pre allows you to add the iconic tone of the elite, rare, almost unattainable preamps found in the studio, which have created some of the greatest hits of all time.
We add that “JE se sais Quoi”
It is difficult for new manufacturers and mix engineers to know how important the subtle sound is. Corrective power Preamps, we are talking about something understated. This is not a flashy synth or extreme audio distorting plugin.
At its core, all of our plug-in preamps offer 2 main benefits:
Link to the past
There is something completely magical to hear classic songs. If you let your mind drift, you are transported to a completely different time: different fashion, different policies, different tastes, different lives. If you want to evoke the feeling of the 70th or 80th years, when the Trident Range console was used on virtually every hit chart, TRIDA-Pre makes it easy. In addition to the individual tracks in your song, you can add that roasted, harmonic, rich sound that personified the era.
Mixing trust
Load TRIDA-Pre as a “insert” effect on the channel, type in the appropriate preset, and most of the hard work was taken care of. You are now mixing with the sound of a classic analog console with settings on the top sound designer. Now you are free to get creative, confident that you have half a century of legendary pro audio heritage supporting you.
Ultimate sound shaper
TRIDA-Pre gives you all the power and capabilities of the legendary Trident range, and more! Let’s see how this channel channel elite translates as a plugin.
4 groups, twin-channel equalizer
The fabulously musical EQ Range has been recreated in all its glory. High, high mid, low mid and low EQ bands have 4 switchable frequencies, calibrated to fit the specifications of the original device. They can be reduced or increased by 15 dB, regardless of the left and right channels, or linked to each other. It gives you more freedom to shape your sound in stereo space.
Low pass filter
Notch from the high end to 9kHz, 12kHz, 15kHz, or press 2 or 3 switches to make a more dramatic chance, it will soften the high frequencies of your signal.
Input gain
From super-subtle subtext to the growling solid-state disk, the Input Gain knob can be clicked to add any tonal taste you want.
High pass filter
Cut out super-low frequencies from your signal, with cuts placed at 25Hz, 50Hz, and 100Hz. Like Low Pass, you can also combine 2 or 3 switches to enhance the effect.
Mid / Side mode
Absent on the original A Range, TRIDA-Pre allows you to use advanced midrange / side methods without external processing or converters, that is, audio will sound amazing in both mono and stereo.
Output trimming
Simple but always helpful. The trim output signal allows you to adjust the “volume level” at the output without changing your tone.
