URS Classic Console
Strip Pro™
Description
Four Vintage
Recording Consoles, Program EQs
and Racks
of Outboard Compressors digitally recreated in a single plug-in!
The URS Classic Console Strip Pro
is a revolutionary new way of combining classic sounds into one unified
channel strip.
This modern concept allows the engineer
to create hundreds of custom console starting points from the almost never
ending palette of input stages,
compressor/limiter and EQ choices
all with near zero latency and full 48 bit Double Precision Processing.
Listen to what we believe is the
most versatile and best sounding classic console strip that was never made
before!
From the
moment you put the URS Classic Console Strip Pro input stages in circuit
you will hear the difference!
Selectable
Input Stage Algorithms digitally recreate the sound and characteristics
of classic input stages to add warmth.
The Input Stage Intensity control
adjusts the Input Stage affect from 0-200%.
Thirty (30) input stages are presently
included:
-
Three Class A American input transformers
-
Class A British input transformer
-
Class A German input transformer
-
Two Class A tube input stages
-
15ips 2" tape electronics/head bump
-
30ips 2" tape electronics/head bump
-
30ips 1/2" tape electronics/head bump
-
Fifteen input transformer & tape
combos
-
Five Console Input/Summing Buss stages
A Digital transparent Input stage is
also provided which adds no colorization, harmonics and/or saturation.
Input Stage
UnLock Function
The Input Stage Lock Function allows
the Input Stage to be Locked from being changed by the Compressor Starting
Points
In your
face Interactive Signal Flow Button Display
No confusion
here! The signal flow button display section shows the signal
path of Compressor, Filters and EQ sections.
The labeling of the buttons updates
automatically as per the status of the Compressor and Filters section Pre/Post
switches.
In addition, each signal flow button
acts as a bypass for the section it represents.
Independent
Compressor, Filters and EQ sections
The Compressor, Filters and EQ sections
are totally independent of each other featuring separate In/Out switching
via the Signal Flow Button Display.
The Compressor section is selectable
between Pre/Post the EQ section. The Filters section is selectable
Pre/Post /Sidechain the Compressor section.
Compressor/Limiter
section features a custom designed versatile channel compressor
that can match
the sound and characteristics of Diode Bridge, VCA, Fet, Opto, Tube
and Tape compression.
The compressor starting points are
based on the most prized compressors limiters in recording studio history,
The URS Classic Console Strip Pro
features 14 classic console compressor/limiter models and 46 outboard compressor/limiter
models.
The compressor starting points simultaneously
change the input stage algorithms to suit the compressor preset.
The Compressor features fully adjustable
Threshold, Ratio, Knee, Attack, Release and Gain Makeup. Adjustable
from soft to aggressive!
Presently 60 Compressor presets are
included:
-
Two 1967 Americian Channel Comp presets
-
Five 1970 British Channel Comp presets
-
Two 1970 British Channel Limiter presets
-
Five 1980 British VCA Channel Comp presets
-
Five Fet presets
-
Four Opto presets
-
Room Mic preset
-
Four Stress presets
-
Five Tape Compression presets
-
Twelve Tube Compression presets
-
Seven American VCA presets
-
Two Very-New presets
-
Three Class A Buss Comp presets
-
Three URS Classic Console Strip presets
Seven Auto
Release Algorithims
The Seven Auto Release algorithims
digitally recreate the most popular Vinatge Compressor Program Dependent
Release and Auto Releases modes.
The Seven Auto releases range from
fast to slow.
-
A1 - 1970 Fast Auto Release
-
A2 - Opto3a Program Dependent Release
-
A3 - 1970 Slow Auto Release
-
A4 - Opto2a Program Dependent Release
-
A5 - 1980 Auto Release
-
A6 - Fet Program Dependent Release
-
A7 - Tube Child Auto Release
Filters/Side
chain section can be assigned either Pre/Post Compressor or
as the Compressor's Side chain.
Using the Side chain feature can
fine tune how narrow or "Broad Band" the Compressor will affect the program
material.
Both Filters completely overlap
to dial in problem frequencies. The Listen Key is after the Internal/ External
Side Chain Filters section.
The Listen Key allows you to monitor
the signal being sent to the Gain Reduction detection circuit.
Presently 6 Side chain presets are
included
-
Six Classic VCA De-esser presets
-
Two Drum VCA Ducker presets
-
British Talkback Mic Preset
-
Telephone preset
Brand New EQ
Algorithims
The URS Strip Pro features all new
EQ Algorithim technolgy. The digitally recreated Analog EQs represent
the cutting edge in EQ modeling.
EQ section
digitally recreates the sound of four different analog consoles plus a
Vintage Tube program EQ.
All bands features fully sweepable
frequency and "Q" bandwidth selection,
The Mid range bands overlap over
four octaves of frequency selection. The LF and HF EQ Bands are selectable
Peak or Shelving.
Each EQ band presently selects from
either:
-
1951 Program EQ
- Tube
-
1967 Console EQ
- American 4 Band
-
1970 Console EQ
- British 3 band Class A
-
1972 Console EQ
- British 4 band Class A/B
-
1980 Console EQ
- British 4 Band
Room to grow
The URS Classic Console Strip Pro’s
unified GUI allows room to add more Input Stages, Compressor and EQ algorithms
as they are developed.
High Res
48 bit "Double Precision" processing
The URS Strip TDM version features
Hi Resolution 48-bit TDM and URS Classic Console Strip Native features
64-bit "Double Precision" processing
for increased clarity and headroom
with unparalleled gain reduction. Hi Resolution "Double Precision"
processing helps to avoid internal clipping in the Digital Domain.
Two Plug-ins
included
The URS Strip Pro includes the super
DSP efficient URS Strip version. We call the URS Classic Console Strip
the "Easy Eight".
The URS Classic Console Strip's
eight knobs map perfectly to the Command 8, Digi002, ProjectMix I/O, ProControl,
HUI
and other popular controllers allowing
for quick adjustments on individual tracks.
The eight knobs map to Page table
1 and all other functions map to Page table 2.
