Kush Audio旗下的UBK升级到了UBK-2版本,这是一款提供各种特殊压缩风格的压缩器插件。
UBK基于Gregory Scott为UBK Fatso硬件开发的奇特且激进的曲线,进行精确建模,为混音师提供控制压缩运动和律动的方式。用户随意旋转几个旋钮,就可以快速获得既新颖又实用的声音和质感。
UBK-2保留了旧版本的所有主要元素,包括一个用于调整压缩程度大旋钮,可快速切换预设的起始时间、释放时间、拐点、压缩比曲线,以及模拟风格的饱和效果。UBK-2提供3个全新的压缩预设,实现了UBK-1无法实现的压缩风格,包括非常温和的低压缩Cream,适用于混音总线等精细压缩任务。
UBK-2的8种压缩曲线都可以调整基线的起始和释放时间,并且所有曲线在增益衰减方面的匹配过渡都很紧密,可以在保持增益衰减和整体增益一致的情况下自由切换。
UBK-2的压缩部分前后新增两个重新调谐的饱和引擎,每个都针对瞬态处理进行了优化。老式的前置四段均衡器采用了Kush最新的Magpha均衡器算法,所有这些线性和非线性处理现都可通过Kush标志性的Tri-Meter三表盘显示进行监控,这个VU表可以一目了然地监控输入电平、输出电平、增益衰减,或同时监控三者。用户能够在查看输出信号与输入信号的动态变化的同时,调整饱和度和压缩,并轻松匹配电平。

UBK-2
MOVEMENT & GROOVE
Shapes the movement and groove of a sound with unique compression curves, multiple parallel signal paths, and more…
THE SOUND OF UBK-2
In 2012, Kush dropped the UBK-1 into a world where nobody expected plugin compressors to have any kind of special or interesting vibe. Built on faithful models of the strange and aggressive curves Gregory Scott developed for the enigmatic UBK Fatso hardware, UBK-1 was the first plugin to give ITB mixers a movement-and-groove-based tool that encouraged blind turning of a few knobs to quickly get at sounds and textures that tended to be as surprising and novel as they were useful.
UBK-2 takes all of the things that made the original special — one big knob for more-or-less compression tuning, rapid switching thru preset attack-release-knee-ratio curves, analog-voiced saturation — and leaves them all intact, you can use UBK-2 the same way you used UBK-1.
Alternatively, you can dive deeper and exert a degree of control over nearly every aspect of the UBK-2’s functions. 3 new compression presets enable styles of compression of not possible with UBK-1, including the very gentle low-ratio Cream for delicate jobs like the mix buss., All 8 compression curves can have their baseline attack and release times adjusted faster or slower, and all feature tight Gain Reduction matching between them, so you can freely switch between them while keeping gain reduction and overall gains consistent.
UBK-2 flanks the updated compressor section with two newly-tuned saturation engines, one pre- and one post-compression, each voiced to suit the types of transients it’s likely to be presented with. An old school. pre-everything 4 band EQ leverages Kush’s new, Magpha-based equalizer algorithms. And all of these linear and non-linear processes can now be monitored via Kush’s signature ‘Tri-Meter’ display, first introduced in the dirt-loving Silika compressor. This VU meter allows for effortless, at-a-glance monitoring of Input and Output levels, Gain Reduction, or all three at once. The ability to dial saturation and compression while seeing the impact this has on the movement of the output signal vs. the input signal, and level-match them with ease… Tri-Meter is a deceptively powerful workflow enhancement, consider getting to know it.
We hope that UBK-2 represents a massive leap forward from the original, while still retaining the character and ease of use that make the original such a popular and beloved plugin that still holds its own 12 years after its release.
– Requires Xcode to codesign and validate the plugin.
– Does not require the iLok driver to run.
We would like to give a big shoutout to pknr who helped open a new door for us in cracking this on macOS.
Could the mighty witches spare a magic wand with a trick or two? The little flare could become a great flame too.
We are currently looking for installers for Lunacy Audio, Sampleson Products to release, if you are interested in supplying them or any other plugins feel free to email us at teamflare@yandex.com
