01Overview

The Access Analog 15 Credit Bundle lets you use professional analog equipment hosted in the developer's racks without owning the hardware. Audio is sent across a broadband connection, processed by the real device, and returned to your session. Credits pay for that time, and the system supports over 65 devices that can be chained in series for analog chains you can recall later. It is a fit for producers who want analog color without a studio full of outboard gear.

03In depth

How remote analog processing works in your DAW

The Access Analog plugin establishes a real-time bi-directional connection to the equipment. Audio leaves your session, passes through the analog hardware in the developer's racks, and comes back to your track.

Latency ranges from 0.5 to 1.5 seconds depending on your connection quality and buffer setting, so this workflow suits tracking-side or offline processing better than tight live monitoring. A standalone application is also included for processing audio files directly.

Credits, device choice and chain recall

You can choose from more than 65 devices and connect them in series to build fully recallable analog chains. Credits can be spent directly in the plugin on any available equipment, or used to reserve specific times on the developer's website.

The system uses about 12 credits per hour for an average device with a US$3000 MSRP. New accounts start with 12 bonus credits, limited to one account per person.
