FOCUSRITE PLUG-IN SUITE
The Focusrite Plug-In Suite provides a collection of EQ, compression, reverb and gating VST/Audio Units plug-ins for tracking and mixing. The compressor and gate have been modeled on Focusrite's hardware devices, using the measurement of Focusrite’s custom optos to achieve a vintage optical sound. The gate operates as a stereo gate and, in dual-mono modes one signal can be used to trigger the gate of another. The EQ delivers a similar signature to the original Focusrite ISA EQ curves. The reverb is based on classic algorithmic studio reverb designs. Booth #6474, Hall A

MELLOWMUSE AUTO-TIME ADJUSTER
Auto-Time Adjuster is an RTAS plug-in for Pro Tools LE/M-Powered that enhances workflow by automatically compensating for plug-in or hardware insert latency. Previously, non-TDM users had to compensate for plug-in latency by moving individual audio tracks backward/forward, or using Digidesign’s Time Adjuster, which meant a lot of tweaks whenever a plug-in was changed in a large project. Auto-Time Adjuster uses audio pinging to calculate and compensate for insert latency automatically on audio and/or aux tracks with the click of a button. To add or remove a plug-in on a track, users simply click the ping button on the master ATA to calculate current latencies and synchronize the tracks, even when using hardware inserts. The plug-in works with Pro Tools LE/M-Powered V. 7.3 or above, Windows XP or Vista and Mac OS 10.4 or better.
