Valve Interface Plug-In for TC PowerCore

April 03, 2002

The Vl2 Multichannel Valve Interface has been developed as a direct result of the phenomenal growth in popularity of affordable hard disk systems. While these systems boast stunningly clean and quiet performance, most users recognize that final mix can sound cold and clinical.

"The DSound VI2 Multichannel Valve Interface was very much inspired by classic valve interfaces like the legendary TLAudio VI1," says DSound CEO Petr Krkavec. "This is precisely our goal in making the VI2 Multichannel Valve Interface Plug-In for the TC PowerCore; we wanted a Plug-In that gave the warmth and clarity of a classic tube interface, with the simplicity and quality of a truly sophisticated processing device."

The DSound VI2 is a tool for both Mixing and Mastering. Inspired by a legendary eight channel valve interface, the DSound VI2 Multichannel Valve Interface adds warmth to any recording and breathes new life into otherwise clinical digital recordings.

The VI2 extends the functionality of other valve interfaces by allowing you to control the amount of saturation with a single, finely tuned control. Each channel of the VI2 has unity gain - so levels are unaffected - but as each channel incorporates a valve stage, the audio signal benefits from the warmth of the finely modeled valve characteristic. The VI2 Plug-In can be used as any VST or MAS Plug-In in your project, or even placed on the master outputs on mix down - effectively giving several stages of valve processing throughout your mix. The result? A smoother, more integrated mix that positively breathes warmth and definition.
