It's difficult to raise the bar each time we release a new product. But here we go
This is Coral, our first mastering strip channel.
It's something beyond what you could find in the hardware domain. It's simply "antieconomic".
Basically a mastering device composed by the most beautiful hardware possible.
Following the success of sand fab4, this time we'll release standalone plugins since the beginning. Coral is very cpu intensive, but detached plugins could be used also at mix level.
The suite is "Coral Reef". So I can describe each element individually:
this is a Chimera compressor. Detector is based on modeling of different rectifiers, based on different diodes (Ge, Si, LED) and the best detectors from our line of products, featuring a full core9 performance and new tricks. The special trasfer curve makes this compressor DIFFERENT from all devices listed and at a NEW level. Forget the hardware emulations.
Than we have this: So a wideband eq.
This eq was built from stefano/stedal and it is derived from a Bax.andall design. It is our best mastering equalizer to date, and something very difficult to find in the hardware realm, it would be very very expensive (I guess more than a sontec).
This eq will make you cry.
Than we have this: I think it is seriously the best elliptical filter to date.
Tomorrow we'll post pictures about the standalone preamp.

Re: Coral
WOW I think that full channel strip UI (the top picture) is just gobsmackingly gorgeous. Maybe the most beautiful software UI I have seen ever.
Love the way your designer has set out all the text/lettering. Really delightful.
The 'Coral' typography & logo really lovely.
In the 3 individual elements I am not 100% sure about the curved lines on the far left & right sides but they're growing on me.
Colour choice is impeccable. I love those push-buttons.
Beautiful work!

Re: Coral
Wow, so is this basically a summa of the previous compressors?
I just wonder why the EQ gain lacks of reference steps, I think that having the usual gain ruler can be more useful to have a better visual reference.
Looking forward to try this beast!

Re: Coral
Absolutely NOT, it would be stupid on the marketing perspective.
Think to original detectors coming from 9 compressors and applied to the trasfer function of an high end mastering compressor.
You get something not possible in the hardware realm, but with all the characteristics which made the hardware famous.
You can have a true glue compressor, but more transparent and mastering grade. It is insanely flexible and intuitive, it never pumps and you have the feeling of complete control and right spot
You can dial precisely reductions in the order of a single dB, and you have many many shadows for doing the task. Like colors.

Re: Coral
OK as i have no idea what a "Matildam" is, It just sounds scrumptious to me. Like a flavour of ice-cream or something.... Yummm ... Matildam....... Giancarlo .. Now you have me craving for ice-cream and this Coral plugin.... No cool bro.... not cool...giancarlo wrote:The eq alone is impressive. The most beautiful curves produced by a Matildam nebula engine

Re: Coral
I gotta agree with the consensus that Coral looks like a beast, but I'm a little worried about the price
I'm also really curious about this Stereo Width control in the filter section
