01Overview

Access Analog lets musicians, producers and recording engineers use professional analog gear hosted in the developer's racks without owning it. Audio travels over a standard broadband connection, passes through the hardware and comes back to your session. The credit bundle is the currency for that access: credits can be spent directly in the plugin on any available device or used to reserve time on specific units through the website.

03In depth

How the remote analog chain works

The Access Analog plugin establishes a real-time, bi-directional connection between your DAW and the hardware. For offline work, a standalone application processes audio files in the same way.

You can choose from more than 65 devices and connect them in series, creating analog chains that can be recalled later. Because the signal makes a round trip over the internet, latency ranges from about 0.5 to 1.5 seconds, depending on connection quality and buffer setting. That delay makes the service better suited to tracking-stage processing or mixing than to live monitoring.

Credit use and account basics

Credit consumption depends on the device. The developer states that an average device, with a listed MSRP of US$3000, uses about 12 credits per hour. Credits can be spent in the plugin on any equipment that is currently available, or used to book specific time slots on the website.

New accounts start with 12 bonus credits, limited to one account per person. Plan your session length against the hourly rate before committing a long chain to the connection.
