Lifeline Console: Analog-Style Channel Strip Effects Plugin by Excite Audio Free Download

The Pre-amp module adds saturation with Bright, Warm and Dark modes, plus Bias, Q and Shape controls to set the character of the drive. The EQ offers four parametric bands with Gain, Vintage Circuit and Dirty Circuit modes, the last two adding harmonics and saturation when boosting.

The Compressor includes Analog, Transparent and Variable styles and an Auto-Makeup control that measures the signal and applies the make-up gain it calculates. The Modulation module emulates tape, vinyl and cassette pitch variation with X/Y pads for Wow and Flutter, and the Wear module adds noise and artifacts associated with those formats.

Each module offers Left/Right and Mid/Side processing, so you can treat the stereo field directly. The interface is drag-and-drop, scrollable and resizeable, and every module has an interactive display.

The plugin runs with zero latency and includes a trial, so you can test it in your own session before deciding whether it fits your mixing workflow.
