8. APPENDIX
8.1. ABOUT THE GEAR
The starting point for this suite was the sampling of a vintage vari-mu tube compressor,
in all probability one of the oldest and most durable gear sampled by Acustica, from our
research, It was rented out to film studios around the globe from the 1930s all the way
down to the late 1960s.
The American manufacturer of this beast was at the forefront of audio technology in
the area of film and because of this, they offered trained technicians on a 24/7 basis,
so not only did they sell the technology end of things but also the service end of things
(something to think about in this day and age).
In regards to the original compressor: Operating level is at +12 dB meaning that the le-
vels that this monster operated in were enormous. As such, it is capable of delivering a
maximum of 72 db of ouput gain. In order to tame the beast, two input attenuators were
implemented in order to bring it down to a +4 operating level. One fixed input attenuator
the other one variable. The sound of the hardware really stunned us, it is magnificent,
invisible if there is such a word with a bit of tube euphoria included in it...a real gem, all
the more reason to absolutely want to sample it.
All the instruments on which we have used this unit emulation have benefited from the
sonics of this outstanding dynamic processor, in particular Bass guitar and lead vocals.
