United Plugins Unichannel

United Plugins UnichannelHaving a vintage gear collection in the studio is nice and inspirational but unfortunately, it is also time consuming and expensive. SounDevice Studio's owner, Boris Carloff, knows this very well, as he has been collecting vintage gear for more than 20 years: "There is always something not working. From tubes to scratchy pots, from meters to noisy caps. And the units are so rare that you can hardly ever use them on multiple channels simultaneously."

Having a vintage gear collection in the studio is nice and inspirational but unfortunately, it is also time-consuming and expensive. SounDevice Studio's owner, Boris Carloff, knows this very well, as he has been collecting vintage gear for more than 20 years:

"There is always something not working. From tubes to scratchy pots, from meters to noisy caps. And the units are so rare that you can hardly ever use them on multiple channels simultaneously." To avoid these limitations, we were inspired to create a solution that included the best of these devices into one plugin.  The result is UniChannel.
 
UniChannel Key Features
 
Complete vintage studio
UniChannel delivers the warm analogue sound, but unlike its real hardware counterparts it can be connected to every channel of your mix. You can also change the components  with one click (instead of using a screwdriver or a patch bay). UniChannel has a preset for every occasion. And there are no aging and broken components to maintain! .

27+ plugins
UniChannel includes 3 preamp types, 3 kinds of EQ, and 3 compressor types. That makes a  total of 27 combinations, with a unique character for each of them. That's 27 unique plugins in one!  Bypass the EQ or the Compressor and you will hear  that the sound variety is almost endless. Variety inspires.

VARM II
VARM II is technology based on knowledge of chaotic behaviour and randomness of the analogue world. Thanks to VARM II, each plugin instance acts slightly differently. VARM models randomness of the subtle differences of the values of the electrical parts - exactly as in the real electrical units and the real console channels. The result is the truest representation of the hardware units" sound. 

The Germans
The full German Channel is amazing on the drum buss. It is  something like magic on voice, and we wouldn't use anything else for jazzy styles or  ballad intimacy. German features a fifties-style tube preamp, sixties-style rare EQ, and very early fifties tube vari-mu compressor.

American Sound
The US eighties-style op amp preamp and the eighties-style EQ have mid punch, great for electric guitar or toms, and the US early fifties tube compressor is a fat monster which makes vocals silky with amazing colour.

Classic British
The Classic British channel brings you fat transformer colour for aggressive bass, kick drum, and rock attitude. It includes a British seventies-style transformer fat preamp, a seventies-style EQ, and a seventies-style diode bridge compressor.

Hassle-free software protection
No iLok, no dongle, and no internet access is required for activation. Our software uses license files to activate your software. You can freely use the purchased software on all your computers as long as you are the user.

Automatic Gain Compensation
Automatic gain compensation quickly adapts to current settings and ensures the output sounds as loud as the input. This even protects you from thinking that something sounds better in cases it is just louder.

Realistic 3D yet flexible GUI
The photorealistic graphic user interface of the plugin gives you the feeling you are touching the real hardware. But it easily adapts to your needs. You can always drag the arrow in the bottom right corner to change its size - make it smaller to save valuable screen space, or enlarge it to make it easier to use.

15-Days unlimited trial version for FREE
All the descriptions are nothing compared to putting your hands on the plugin. No saving limits. No noises. No boundaries. Engage the plugin in your project for real and fully exploit its powers for two weeks.

64-bit audio quality at ANY sampling rate
The plugin provides the maximum audio quality you can get. It uses internal 64-bit audio processing and can handle any sampling rate. Try it at 192 kHz or even higher!

Intelligent sleep on silence
This plugin intelligently detects whether it makes sense to perform processing at all. And if not, it temporarily turns on sleep mode. In such a state, it requires virtually no CPU at all and saves the computing sources for other processes.
