It follows the dynamics of the incoming sound and adds tonal and noise textures to it. We think of it almost like an EQ, in the way it shapes the sound, but it adds instead of cutting or boosting. It’s perfect for when you have a nutrient deficient recording (lacking bass or attack in a kick drum for example), or if you just want to add some extra sub or pleasant stereo fizz to any percussive sound.

Clearmountain’s Phases brings you the sounds of classic flanger and phaser processors used by Bob Clearmountain. The plugin adds expanded settings modules, so you can replicate Bob’s advanced workflow.


Vintage Analog in the Digital Realm

Not only can you control the manual sweep, sweep oscillator and mix — but you can also apply the “zero crossing” tape machine flange effect and swap bucket brigade delay chips. To add grit, dial in your desired amount of distortion and aliasing.

It’s not just a Phase…It’s feedback, LFO and Vintage Analog

The Phaser offers a gentler modulation that Bob uses to create watery, psychedelic textures. Intensify the effect with added resonance, then adjust the Feedback Tap knob for even more sonic variations. Send the plugin back in time with the Age trimpot, to reproduce the mellowing effects of aging hardware components.

Configuration for you sonic Imagination

When Bob was looking to create a richer, more extreme texture, he’d send his tracks through both flanger and phaser modules — and now you can do the same. Flange the phaser, phase the flanger, or apply both and mix – whatever achieves the sound in your imagination!

The SP2016 was the first programmable effects box available on the market. It introduced the concept of the ‘plug-in’ to the pro audio world back in 1982, with actual hardware chips that would be plugged in under the hood. Revered for its signature reverbs, the SP2016 was notably used by Dave Pensado, George Massenburg, Alan Sides, Roy Hendrickson, Jack Douglas, and Mick Guzauski. The lush reverb can be heard on countless hit records by Talking Heads, Adele, Mariah Carey, Eminem, and more. Now, 36 years later, this signature sound is available for your DAW.

Three distinct reverb types:

Introduced in the early 1970s, the Omnipressor was the first dynamics effects processor of any kind. Originally invented by Eventide’s founder, Richard Factor (and later redesigned for production by John Paul), the Omnipresssor made a host of effects possible. It featured variable control of all aspects of dynamic modification. It also introduced the notion of the ‘side chain’ and foretold techniques that today we take for granted like ‘look ahead’ processing.

The Omnipressor plug-in is a faithful emulation of the “dark meter” unit and is popular among some of the world’s leading producers and engineers as a dynamics-modifier with variable expressive controls of all aspects of a signal’s dynamics. The Function control allows you to set compression and expansion ratios over a wide, continuous range from extreme expansion to infinite compression and beyond. Dynamic reversal, which reverses a sound’s envelope, allows you to make loud sounds quiet and quiet sounds loud.

Parallel processing plays a fundamental part in getting a big mix sound. By duplicating the same audio into multiple copies and processing each duplicate with different levels of intensity, you can add more presence to a track - while still preserving its natural dynamics. The technique is a staple of modern music production. Parallel Aggressor is based on this concept. But instead of routing any audio to external busses, the plugin hosts the parallel tracks internally -and has them calibrated for maximum impact from the get-go. "Spank" offers a heavily compressed duplicate of your original track. "Heat" offers a heavily saturated duplicate. "Dry" is your clean audio. Work the two duplicates hard! Then combine all three signals to squeeze every last drop of sonic juice out of your track!

With 16 sound categories and 24 16x hit kits, this is a well organized pack of modern modular drums synthesized from scratch - and coming in at about 1/100th the cost of a basic Eurorack setup, it's a cheap and easy way to inject the addictive insanity of modular synthesis into your tracks. Because let's face it - the modular world can be very intimidating, secretive and EXPEN$IVE !

Warp pitch and time to create everything from essential everyday FX to extreme multiband transformations.

Pana is a sophisticated stereo tool designed to let you do more elegant, natural audio positioning than what regular balance panning might accomplish. Pana uses both the delaying and filtering methods in combination, to achieve a more natural positioning. This makes Pana a very versatile tool for most types of sounds – and having these features in one plug-in makes for a great mixing experience. To top it all off, there’s also a crossover filter that makes it possible to leave the low end frequencies completely untouched, letting the bass remain wholly centered.

The SP2016 was the first programmable effects box available on the market. It introduced the concept of the ‘plug-in’ to the pro audio world back in 1982, with actual hardware chips that would be plugged in under the hood. Revered for its signature reverbs, the SP2016 was notably used by Dave Pensado, George Massenburg, Alan Sides, Roy Hendrickson, Jack Douglas, and Mick Guzauski. The lush reverb can be heard on countless hit records by Talking Heads, Adele, Mariah Carey, Eminem, and more. Now, 36 years later, this signature sound is available for your DAW.

Three distinct reverb types:

Introduced in the early 1970s, the Omnipressor was the first dynamics effects processor of any kind. Originally invented by Eventide’s founder, Richard Factor (and later redesigned for production by John Paul), the Omnipresssor made a host of effects possible. It featured variable control of all aspects of dynamic modification. It also introduced the notion of the ‘side chain’ and foretold techniques that today we take for granted like ‘look ahead’ processing.

The Omnipressor plug-in is a faithful emulation of the “dark meter” unit and is popular among some of the world’s leading producers and engineers as a dynamics-modifier with variable expressive controls of all aspects of a signal’s dynamics. The Function control allows you to set compression and expansion ratios over a wide, continuous range from extreme expansion to infinite compression and beyond. Dynamic reversal, which reverses a sound’s envelope, allows you to make loud sounds quiet and quiet sounds loud.

Parallel processing plays a fundamental part in getting a big mix sound. By duplicating the same audio into multiple copies and processing each duplicate with different levels of intensity, you can add more presence to a track - while still preserving its natural dynamics. The technique is a staple of modern music production. Parallel Aggressor is based on this concept. But instead of routing any audio to external busses, the plugin hosts the parallel tracks internally -and has them calibrated for maximum impact from the get-go. "Spank" offers a heavily compressed duplicate of your original track. "Heat" offers a heavily saturated duplicate. "Dry" is your clean audio. Work the two duplicates hard! Then combine all three signals to squeeze every last drop of sonic juice out of your track!

With 16 sound categories and 24 16x hit kits, this is a well organized pack of modern modular drums synthesized from scratch - and coming in at about 1/100th the cost of a basic Eurorack setup, it's a cheap and easy way to inject the addictive insanity of modular synthesis into your tracks. Because let's face it - the modular world can be very intimidating, secretive and EXPEN$IVE !

Just like a DJ working vinyl, TimeShaper 3 lets you freely manipulate the flow of time, slowing down or accelerating your music. Simply draw the exact LFO shapes you need – our unique curve-editing tools make it fast and easy. Warp pitch and time to create everything from essential everyday FX to extreme multiband transformations.

Pana is a sophisticated stereo tool designed to let you do more elegant, natural audio positioning than what regular balance panning might accomplish. Pana uses both the delaying and filtering methods in combination, to achieve a more natural positioning. This makes Pana a very versatile tool for most types of sounds – and having these features in one plug-in makes for a great mixing experience. To top it all off, there’s also a crossover filter that makes it possible to leave the low end frequencies completely untouched, letting the bass remain wholly centered.

The AROUSOR is a software plug-in audio Compressor, that was designed to finally offer the sound and features from our Empirical Labs' award winning compressors, most notably, the Distressor. At least 5 other companies have tried to capitalize on this huge market "vacancy", but with the AROUSOR, Empirical Labs will satisfy the need for an In-the-Box compressor that starts where the Distressor left off. ELI modeled the Distressors detector circuits on a component basis, to get the magic gain control that tens of thousands have enjoyed for decades.

Pop Punk
Capturing the early 2000s pop-punk sound, this pack includes 150 samples and 300 loops. Recorded in a spacious room and mixed at The Blasting Room Studios, it delivers roomy, flangey, and energetic drum sounds reminiscent of the genre's heyday.

Dead Disco
A library of disco-inspired drum loops and samples, featuring over 500 loops and 200 samples. Recorded and mixed in the 'dead' style, it provides both hi-fi and tape-saturated mixes, capturing the classic disco vibe with a modern touch.

Dead Vol. 2
An extensive collection of over 1,100 dead drum samples and 330 loops. This pack offers a variety of kicks, snares, toms, and cymbals, all recorded with minimal processing to maintain dynamic range. It includes multiple velocity layers and is compatible with various virtual kit presets.

The SPC2000 Compressor features multiple parallel and serial compression combinations. It takes the power and flexibility of the now classic CompressorBank plug-in by McDSP, and offers two (SPC202), three (SPC203), and four (SPC204) stage configurations with serial and parallel routing combinations unlike any dynamic processor. Couple this routing capability with the ability to emulate any other compressor, and it’s clear the SPC2000 is a serious audio tool.

The Knee control has three ranges of values: undershoot range, overshoot range, and overshoot with compression ‘tail.’

The SPC2000 plug-in can model a wide variety of vintage and contemporary compressor implementations – in serial and parallel.

The SPC2000 compressors have two types of Time Constant (TC) circuit algorithms to emulate the TC circuit responses (and hence sound) of other compressors: Pure Peak Detection and Adaptive Release.

A novel creation from Brainworx, the bx_masterdesk gives you a complete high-end analog mastering system inside of a single plugin. It is designed to be so easy to use that even inexperienced musicians can quickly dial in great-sounding masters using tastefully curated chains of some of the best-sounding mastering processors available.

Amazing models of top-tier mastering gear in an incredibly intuitive layout
Containing every component you need to create professional-sounding results, bx_masterdesk allows you to master your own material with a minimal learning curve—even if you are not a professional mastering engineer! With a clearly defined 3-step workflow and a pre-tuned processing chain, the entire mastering process becomes extremely intuitive.

Persuasively professional masters in 60 seconds?
Believe it or not, but bx_masterdesk can help you churn out high-quality masters in under a minute. It’s just a matter of toggling through the carefully crafted presets to get you in the ballpark, and sweeting things further with a few key dials if desired like “Volume”, “Foundation” and “Tone” to perfect your sound. Whether you’re a musician, engineer or producer, bx_masterdesk will help you get to where you need to go quickly.

A simple 3-step process for great sounding masters
First, decide how hard your music will hit the processing chain of bx_masterdesk with the “Volume” control. Use the Dynamic Range VU meter to help you adjust your loudness and find the sweet spot for a master that sounds loud without sacrificing quality. Then, use the “Foundation” control to adjust the overall tonality of your mix between lows and highs, setting a nice bass foundation to build your master upon. Finally, adjust the “Tone Stack” to fine tune the vibe of your master. After this, you can tweak even further if desired by adjusting the mastering de-esser, compressor mix and stereo width controls for masters that truly shine.

No drum deserves to be dull or lame. Fosfat will add bite and oomph to your drums or percussion (or any percussive sounds). It follows the dynamics of the incoming sound and adds tonal and noise textures to it. We think of it almost like an EQ, in the way it shapes the sound, but it adds instead of cutting or boosting. It’s perfect for when you have a nutrient deficient recording (lacking bass or attack in a kick drum for example), or if you just want to add some extra sub or pleasant stereo fizz to any percussive sound.

Clearmountain’s Phases brings you the sounds of classic flanger and phaser processors used by Bob Clearmountain. The plugin adds expanded settings modules, so you can replicate Bob’s advanced workflow.


Vintage Analog in the Digital Realm

Not only can you control the manual sweep, sweep oscillator and mix — but you can also apply the “zero crossing” tape machine flange effect and swap bucket brigade delay chips. To add grit, dial in your desired amount of distortion and aliasing.

It’s not just a Phase…It’s feedback, LFO and Vintage Analog

The Phaser offers a gentler modulation that Bob uses to create watery, psychedelic textures. Intensify the effect with added resonance, then adjust the Feedback Tap knob for even more sonic variations. Send the plugin back in time with the Age trimpot, to reproduce the mellowing effects of aging hardware components.

Configuration for you sonic Imagination

When Bob was looking to create a richer, more extreme texture, he’d send his tracks through both flanger and phaser modules — and now you can do the same. Flange the phaser, phase the flanger, or apply both and mix – whatever achieves the sound in your imagination!

Relab LX480 Essentials not only faithfully captures the sound of the classic reverb hardware, but makes getting that legendary sound faster and easier than ever before. 
Transform tracks with the rich complex textures, and lush spacious reverb tails that only the Relab LX480 can deliver.
