Kuassa Studio Bundle

Inspired by the Hardware that Shaped the Music of the 20th Century

The Kuassa Studio Bundle is the perfect combination for shaping and preparing your tracks into commercial-ready, quality tracks. Inside Kuassa Studio Bundle are three functional EQs modelled after legendary Equalizers designed to remove any impurities such as mud, rumbles or honk and then sweeten it to give clear tracks that will sit perfectly through the mix.

As a final touch, Kratos 2 Maximizer is a perfect tool to finalize your master and will give the desired commercial, transparent loudness, in order to compete with all of the other music, played on the radio, and records store or streaming platforms.

EVE-AT1

Modelled after the Neve* 1081 Equalizer. This award-winning equalizer is the best for its relatively surgical properties to remove a track's impurities while still sounding natural and pleasing to the ear.

EVE-AT1 is a 4-band parametric equalizer with an additional high-pass and low-pass filter. Inspired by the EQ section of a renowned British Classic –the Neve* 1081 –this equalizer delivers a clear, smooth, and musical sound to shape your tracks. The EVE-AT1 possesses an additional parametric band with expanded Q bandwidth selection in the low-mid and high-mid frequency ranges as compared to the EVE-AT4. In addition, the AT1 implements a different high-pass and low-pass filter, giving the AT1 a slightly more conventional frequency response in these areas. These characteristics mean the EVE-AT1 is suitable for a broad range of musical applications, offering flexibility, versatility and all-around utility.

Features

• Approximately +/-18dB (Narrow Q), and +/-12 dB (Broad Q).
• Selectable broad/narrow Q bandwidth.
• Selectable shelf/peak filter mode.
• HP & LP, -18 dB/octave.
• A/B compare button, A/B copy button.
• Output trim, Phase Reverse Button.

EVE-AT4

Modelled after the Neve 1084 Equalizer. The award-winning EVE-AT4 Equalizer is known for its smooth and musical character, making it a favourite when it comes to sweetening or adding character to a track.

EVE-AT4 is a 3-band equalizer with an additional high-pass and low-pass filter. Designed as a tribute to the EQ section of the Neve* 1084, which was created as the successor to the legendary Neve* 1073. Although the EVE-AT4 possesses fewer bands, a smaller frequency selection palette, and fewer Q bandwidth selection options as compared to the EVE-AT1, its strength lies in its unique filter implementation, producing an idiosyncratic frequency response not present on the EVE-AT1. The result is a particular tonal character; the sound and tonal shape of its original incarnation is a hallmark of many classic recordings from the 70s.

Features

• Approximately +/-18dB (Narrow Q), and +/-12 dB (Broad Q).
• Selectable broad/narrow Q bandwidth.
• Selectable shelf/peak filter mode.
• HP & LP, -18 dB/octave.
• A/B compare button, A/B copy button.
• Output trim, Phase Reverse Button.

EVE-MP5

The Kuassa EVE-MP5 is modelled after the Pultec* EQP Program Equalizer and the Pultec* MEQ Mid-range Equalizer. In an innovative move from Kuassa, they have combined both of these equalizers into a single plug-in, making this equalizer a favourite among their users. This plug-in is also capable to replicate the famous low-end Pultec* trick which shapes the history of modern popular music.

Known for their signature frequency curves, the EVE-MP5 will bring massive lows, smooth mids and shiny highs to any tracks you put them into. Utilize the famous low-end trick of boosting and attenuating the low frequencies simultaneously for a rock-solid bottom-end. The MP5 is also loaded with a power amp saturation unit in the signal path. Turn it on for a hotter signal and dial the input to give a mild edge to your tracks, or push more for an overdriven sound. The “Auto” switch in the input section is useful for maintaining constant gain levels while cranking the saturation via the input knob.

Features

• Combination of the two Pultec* EQs into a single, compact plug-in.
• Colour-coded knobs and straightforward interface for fast workflows.
• Unique Saturation unit on the input path with automatic level compensation.
• Simultaneously boost and attenuate on the same low frequency.
• Distinct Pultec* natural filter curve.
• Dial-up a large amount of boost or cut without sacrificing naturalness and musicality.

Kratos 2 Maximizer

The latest update of Kuassa’s limiter/loudness maximizer plugin: Kratos 2 Maximizer, features the new Adaptive Mode for Attack and Release parameters, dithering section, up to 4x oversampling, Latency Compensation toggle, and completely redesigned graphics.

The Kratos 2 Maximizer VST/AU plugin serves its sole purpose to simply make your mix music LOUD right at your fingertips. Now you can polish your final mix further into perfection while still preserving the familiar solid workflow of Kuassa plugin to safely increase perceived loudness without sacrificing sound quality in music audio mastering in the most natural way possible: Crank the Maximize knob, tune the unique Texture knob to taste, tweak Attack and Release for tighter or loose response, then adjust the Knee for harder / smoother limiting action.

Features

• Transparent, precision limiting/loudness maximizing.
• Unique Texture knob for a smooth or harder character.
• Attack and Release parameter with the new adaptive option.
• Latency Compensation toggle, supported by most DAW.
• 3 dithering options with 3 modes of bit depth to accommodate a wide range of mastering needs.
