Description
Al Schmitt
We’re truly proud to announce our first signature plugin, developed by none other than the legendary producer and engineer Al Schmitt,
who sadly recently passed away. Our team worked with Al, analyzing his workflow, equipment, and production processes over the past decades,
from subtle harmonic characteristics to echo, compression, and EQ. This led us to create the distinctive characteristics that define his sound.
The Al Schmitt signature plugin features six different profiles: vocals, piano, bass, brass, strings, and mix (bus). Each has distinct sonic characteristics
and parameters based on Al’s workflow and perception of each instrument. Distilled with minimal control, it’s designed so you can instantly achieve the sound you want.
CenterOne
CenterOne allows you to adjust the phantom center level of a stereo source and even separate the center and side signals. Whether you need to highlight a lead vocal without altering the stereo content, or you want to emphasize the center and pan the sound, CenterOne’s original approach
delivers unrivaled control.
The unique algorithm adjusts midrange levels without compromising the sound quality between your new audio signal and the original source, so expect
clean sound for every part of your mix and be confident in your ability to use the plugin in a wide variety of contexts.
DynOne 3
The DynOne system was designed from the ground up to provide you with 5 bands of high-quality parallel compression. Transparent and adjustable filters
help you control your audio levels without losing any nuances. Intelligent and responsive attack and release settings operate
within preset limits to get you closer to your goal faster and with less guesswork. Despite the assistance offered, it doesn’t deprive you of your creative control. So if you’re the type
who isn’t satisfied until everything is done right, the extensive features, clear metering, and intuitive controls will help you achieve your goals.
Features you won’t find anywhere else include a unique weighting algorithm that provides precise control over your sidechain,
and a center mode that places special emphasis on your stereo field.
Joe Chiccarelli
We’re proud to introduce our second Signature Series plugin, developed in collaboration with producer/engineer Joe Chiccarelli.
After successfully completing the process with the late Al Schmitt, we faced a new challenge, as Joe uses far more processing tools
to achieve his signature sound. We had to explore and analyze even more devices, from EQs and preamps to compressors,
distortion units, reverbs, and a range of other effects. We then used the results of our research and analysis to create the distinctive characteristics
that define its unique sound.
The Joe Chiccarelli Signature plugin features 11 different profiles: kick, snare, toms, overhead drums, drum room, bass guitar, bass amp,
acoustic guitar, electric guitar, electric piano, and lead vocal. Each profile has a set of parameters controlling dynamics, EQ, compression,
parallel compression, and effects. All are tailored to the desired degree of control and designed to instantly define your sound.
LimitOne
Sound limiting is the art of manipulating sonic energy. Often, the goal is to increase loudness by changing the level dynamics in the most transparent
way possible. Historically, this was done using an electrical circuit that follows the audio signal’s envelope and adjusts the variable gain
to reduce peaks and boost lows. These methods were later applied to the digital realm, and many variations and additions have since been created.
LimitOne is unlike other devices. Our goal wasn’t to eliminate all existing limiters, as they all add their own color,
but to develop a new approach and use other methods to achieve results that were previously impossible.
We drew inspiration from two-stage limiting methods and the design of multiband compressors, the way clipping adds color and expression,
and also looked at the problems and artifacts that arise when processing certain images. We then imagined what an easy-to-use tool would look like if we weren’t limited by existing methods. This led to the idea of a hybrid algorithm combining the advantages
of digital signal processing in the frequency and time domains.
RootOne
RootOne allows you to add and shape three bands of subharmonic content to achieve the perfect tonal balance. Whether you need one part of your mix to blend with the others, or if you need more…By eliminating the need to think about low frequencies in general, you can eliminate the need to overthink your workflow when bass matters most. This unique plugin complements your low-frequency range with clean, phase-aligned subharmonics, so you never have to worry about frequency interference or disconnection.
The analysis-synthesis algorithm is effective across a much wider range of sources than traditional solutions, meaning more application possibilities,
more confidence, and more bass. In just a few clicks, you can find the perfect drum kit, bass guitar, or synth.
StageOne 2
StageOne 2 gives you unrivaled control over various aspects of your stereo field, allowing you to widen your stereo sound, add perceived depth,
or even transform mono signals into a stereo image to better fit your mix. You can adjust the width, depth,
and uniformity of the mapping without phase or compatibility issues; all thanks to a unique algorithm that delivers flawless results every time. With a wide range of applications and an intuitive interface that speeds up audio playback, StageOne 2 delivers better results
than traditional methods. This attention to detail creates depth and consistency between different audio sources in a way you can trust.
UltraVox 2
A “set it and forget it” plug-in designed for any songwriter, producer, and engineer who wants to quickly achieve great-sounding vocals.
UltraVox 2 features six carefully tuned algorithms that seamlessly handle any type of vocal. Compression evens out the sound,
controlling peaks and ensuring a smooth, balanced level without unwanted coloration. Music control eliminates background noise
and softens unwanted breath or mouth sounds that often appear after compression.
Harmonics add rich character and warmth to the timbre, while air enhances clarity and sparkle without adding harshness. A newly developed
de-essector provides transparent and natural control of harsh, sibilant sounds thanks to precise frequency analysis. Finally, the built-in reverb
provides a beautiful, ready-to-use vocal space that enhances sound quality without clouding the mix.

R2R NOTE :
This runtime package was planned to be included in the upcoming R2RSYSTEM release (in development/testing phase).
However, R2RSYSTEM requires several more months to ensure long-term reliability. We have decided to release this runtime ahead of the full release,
otherwise we will have to postpone many plugin updates. Once R2RSYSTEM is released, you will not need to install this package.
TEAM R2R Network Block Runtime is a required package for running some R2R releases to prevent hacking.
The network block runtime contains 5 DLLs for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. R2RHTTP.dll: For WINHTTP.dll
R2RINET.dll: For WININET.dll
R2RTRUST.dll: For WINTRUST.dll
SENSR2R.dll: For SENSAPI.dll
WS2R2R.dll: For WS2_32.dll
These are typically Windows API emulators that do nothing. This allows attackers to block network access without monitoring or modifying the code.
A warning for advanced users: these emulators lack the full APIs of the original DLLs.
The 2.3.0 update added some API support for R2RHTTP and R2RINET.
