Sound, Character and Controls

PSP Audioware built oldTimerMB around a high-end multi-band processor based on the algorithm from its best-selling PSP oldTimer compressor. The developer says the goal was a processor that stays musical and warm across a wide range of material.

The output valve emulation is switchable and adjustable. It lets you choose how much additional colour is added to the signal, so the same plugin can be used for subtle glue on a mix bus or for a more pronounced vintage tone on a track.

Workflow and Technical Specs

oldTimerMB processes internally in 64-bit double precision floating point and accepts 32- and 64-bit floating point audio streams. It supports sample rates up to 192kHz.

The plugin reports zero samples of latency, so it can be inserted on tracks and buses without introducing delay compensation issues. It is available for Windows and macOS in 32- and 64-bit builds, and the package includes a library of presets to start from.
