BussColors2 has eight models: Dark, Rock, Lush, Vibe, Holo, Punch, Steel and Tube. These originally came from sets of impulse responses by a guy at Noisevault, with his permission and blessing- over the years I've doctored the impulses until it's algorithms building new impulses for every sample, on the fly.
Dark acts like an MCI console, with unusual midrange articulation and a really solid sound when pushed. These are heard on many classic 70s records by AC/DC, Clapton, Elton John etc.
Rock acts like an SSL console, with that 'post-70s hit record sound'. It can be dialed in for maximum slam short of obvious breakup, using the input trim control.
Lush acts like a big Neve, emphasis on big. It's an alternate 70s hit record sound, more in the softrock vein- pillowy and fat, with airy highs and large in scale.
Vibe acts like some sort of funky old console, with a liquid organic sound but not as big-budget as Neves and MCIs. Could bring an old dub platter sound to a track.
Holo brings a particular sort of three-dimensionality to the sound, and conveys a distinct soundstage where locations of sound sources take on a special holographic quality. Particularly if you run it with extra headroom it might suit classical work.
Punch acts like an API console, with a gutsy rocking quality that's loaded with punch and impact. Very recognizable if you have API pres.
Steel is a special effect console- it's sort of lean and brings a distinct acidic, metallic quality to the sound. It could really accentuate the personality of some electronic/DnB/dubstep work. It's the opposite of a Neve- it cleans up lowmid mud and sounds aggressive, not mellow.
Tube finishes up the set, bringing an airy, electric quality like some of the oldest recording consoles out there. Only low-voltage starved-plate fake-tube designs are dull and rolled-off: real tubes bring a lot of energy and presence to a sound, and this one's not shy with the highs.
BussColors2 is $49.99.
Try the demo of this to see if it'll work for you! You're not allowed to use the demo for actual work. It politely mutes itself briefly every couple minutes, and that's the only thing it does to spite you. It won't expire or do anything to you, and when you get the actual plugin, throw away the demo and put the real version in its place and most software should replace saved instances of the demo with the real thing seamlessly, retaining any settings. Please support my cooperative, unhostile demos with sales of the real software.
