Vitric · Cleveland, Ohio

Audio plugins built where records are made.

A parametric EQ, a character compressor and a multiband, built for people who mix for a living. Honest circuit behaviour, meters that tell the truth, and every plugin road-tested in a working recording studio before it ships.

The line

Three instruments. One standard.

Same build system, same design language, same bar: a plugin ships when it survives real sessions in the room downstairs.

Harmonic Multiband Compressor plugin: pre and post spectrum analyzer with gain reduction curtains above the Harmonics Engine bar with drive, mode, oversampling and exciter controls

FIG 01 · MULTIBAND · REAL RENDER

Multiband Dynamics

Saturation changes how a compressor hears.

A 6-band multiband compressor built around the Harmonics Engine: dual-stage saturation that can drive the detectors, saturate the bands, or excite the summed mix. The saturator-into-compressor workflow, engineered into one unit.

Harmonic Multiband Compressor

Bevel EQ parametric equalizer plugin, a full-bleed EQ display with the summed curve in gold and a live spectrum analyzer in cool blue

FIG 02 · BEVEL EQ · REAL RENDER

Parametric EQ

You should not have to fight your EQ.

24 freeform bands, any bell or shelf of them dynamic, any of them placed in mid, side, left or right. Slopes to 96 dB/oct and an analyzer that draws pre and post at the same time. Built to be the EQ you open before you know what the problem is.

Bevel EQ

Forge Compressor in FET mode

FIG 03 · FORGE · REAL RENDER

Character Compressor

Stop auditioning five compressors.

FET, Opto, Tube and Clean: honest behavioural models of the studio classics in one unit. Switch modes and the whole machine re-lights.

Light on glass

Black glass. Living light.

The plugin is black glass; the signal is rendered as light. Chrome is hairlines and text. No bezels, no fake metal, no skeuomorphic domes.
