Dynamic Harmonic Behavior

They Bring the Colour and grit, they add the dynamic Harmonic behavior that can only come from the Hardware it Emulates.

I repeatedly search for “Need” in my plug-ins folder

“The NEED Preamp and Eq Collection” solves a problem that all mixing engineers face, ‘adding analog-vibe to boring-sounding instruments.’ The preamp section adds rich harmonics to percussive and acoustic instruments, common to analog hardware. Whenever I am looking to impart the Class-A color to my mix, I repeatedly search for “Need” in my plug-ins folder. Good job guys!”

A great first slot plugin!

High end transformers give audio tracks their “weight” and “depth”. It’s the ingredient that’s missing from the vast majority of audio interface microphone preamps. The four Need Preamp emulations provide that harmonic mojo in spades. The drive feature makes it easy to dial in the right amount. A great first slot plugin!

Excellent Bundle

This is a wonderful bundle! The Preamps have a very distinctive character and are easy to use with their simplicity. The Equalizers are very natural and open sounding and offer a variety of options, all useful and the presets are well thought out as starting points. Noise Ash has really upped their game as a top tier emulation developer.

NED BIDDLE

Executive Producer, Mixing Engineer

Get the color of the legendary preamps.

As a producer, I like to add some colors to the sound from the recording sessions. Not always, I have the chance to choose between outboard preamps, so when I’m adding the Need preamps to each track, I can immediately hear the energy that comes from it and put me in a great starting point to the next steps in the production.
