New Analog Warming X-Stopper AS470 

Eplex7 DSP releases Analog Warming X-Stopper AS470 all-in-one analog compressor / limiter nonlinear algorithmic simulation.

PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT

The Analog Warming X-Stopper AS470 is a high-quality, all-in-one analog compressor /limiter nonlinear algorithmic simulation. Rather than being two separate processors, this device seamlessly transitions from natural automatic compression at slower time constants to a fast, analog-sounding limiter—or anything in between.

Its primary mission is to prevent sharp peaks in your mix from exceeding 0dB (PROTECT YOUR MIX / INDIVIDUAL MIX CHANNELS or MASTER), but it does so with a very natural, gentle touch. It mimics the behavior of analog tape or analog mixing consoles, which, instead of harsh digital clipping or rigid limiting, gently saturate and round off peaks and transients. Whether the device is acting as a compressor or a limiter, the peak will never exceed 0dB, providing perfect and natural protection for every track.Top features:

• High-Quality Non-Linear Algorithms: Advanced analog emulation based on 16 years of research.

• 64-bit Floating Point Processing: For maximum precision.

• Oversampled Architecture: Ensures the cleanest sound possible without unwanted aliasing.

• Input Drive (Warmth & Fatness): The heart of the unit. The harder you “push” the AS470, the more harmonic distortion and analog warmth you gain. This is where a collection of tracks becomes a cohesive mix.

• Time Constant: Precise control over peak response, allowing the unit to morph between an analog compressor and a smooth analog limiter.

• Tonal Sculpting: Integrated EQ module (40 Hz – 500 Hz for the low end; 14 kHz – 20 kHz for Air) allows you to correct tone without mid-range harshness or low-end “boxiness.”

• Output Volume Knob: Output protection at 0dB without the ugly sound of digital clipping.

• Dual dB Meters: Precise Left/Right monitoring.

• Bypass Switch.

• Limited Edition Customization: Each full version is “handmade” with a custom plaque featuring the user’s name.

Compatibility: Windows 32 bit / 64 bit VST host, VST3
