E-3B Compressor
Also available individually

The Multiband Compressor brings together all the vital controls of multiband compression within this easy-to-use interface. With 3-band compression, Brick-Wall limiting, L/R Swap and Curve Mode EQ, this compressor is a powerful and flexible solution for any mixing or mastering project. Move the crossovers to define the frequency bands, adjust the Gain, add compression and Solo each band individually to create your sound with precision. This powerful compressor is ideal for any studio environment.

Features:

  • Full Automation for all parameters PC and Mac OS X
  • Easy-to-use modern interface with gain reduction light-meter
E-3B Maximizer
Also available individually

Make your mix stand out from the crowd. The Multiband Loudness Maximizer brings the sound of professional mastering to any audio application. The multiband maximizer delivers three frequency bands of look-ahead, brick-wall limiting to precisely control and maximize the output levels of a recording. Input levels are individually adjustable for Low, Mid and High bands, and the crossovers can be moved to precisely define the frequency bands. Lower the Threshold to engage the limiter, and the levels are automatically increased to compensate for the attenuation. Set the release to yield smooth limiting. Once you have set the right amount of limiting/attenuation, you can even add more level to the output to give you all the volume you could want.

Features:

  • Full Automation for all parameters PC and Mac OS X
  • Easy-to-use modern interface with LFO light-meter
E-Channel Strip
Also available individually

The Essential Channel delivers maximum processing flexibility with minimum space required. The most critical channel processing functions are provided in a single plug-in: 3-band parametric EQ, High and Low Shelf filters, High and Low Pass Filters, Peak or RMS Compression (Pre- or Post EQ), DeEsser (with selectable High-Pass or Band-Pass Filter), Noise Gate, and Brick-Wall Limiting. Additional features include L/R Swap and Phase Inversion (both or L/R channels individually), and Mode selection. This high-quality channel insert is a must for any digital audio project.

Features:

  • Full Automation for all parameters PC and Mac OS X
  • Easy-to-use modern interface with gate reduction light-meter
E-Compressor
Also available individually

A quality compressor is an integral part of any studio toolkit. And with the Essential Compressor, every studio can be assured of professional results. The Essential Compressor is like having several compressors in one plug-in. Choose analog or digital compression, and Peak or RMS compression. This compressor provides intuitive control over the Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, and Make-Up gain. The Essential Compressor also enables adjustment of the Threshold and Ratio parameters within a graphical display. Other features include Brick-Wall Limiting, and individual Input and Output level controls.

Features:

  • Full Automation for all parameters PC and Mac OS X
  • Easy-to-use modern interface with LFO light-meter
E-Graphic EQ
Also available individually

The Essential Graphic EQ is the perfect tool for sculpting the fine detail out of raw digital audio. 15 frequency bands, adjustable bandwidth and brick-wall limiter allow for precise control over each audio channel. For any type of project, this EQ lets each track stand out with its own sonic character.

Features:

  • Full Automation for all parameters PC and Mac OS X
  • Easy-to-use modern interface with LFO light-meter
E-Gate-Expander
Also available individually

Don’t lose valuable dynamic range in your tracks. Raise the level without increasing unwanted noise in the audio. The Essential Gate/Expander tames the noise floor so that you hear only the audio you want to keep. This fully-adjustable gate allows control of Threshold, Attack, Hold, Release and Range. Left and Right VU meters and controls for Input and Output round out the feature list for this essential studio plug-in.

Features:

  • Full Automation for all parameters PC and Mac OS X
  • Easy-to-use modern interface
E-Maximizer
Also available individually

The Loudness Maximizer is an easy-to-use peak limiter for increasing audio levels. This Maximizer delivers look-ahead, brick-wall limiting to maximize the levels of any mixing or mastering project. Input levels are individually adjustable for Left and Right channels. Lower the Threshold to engage the limiter, and the levels are automatically increased to compensate for the attenuation. Set the release to yield smooth limiting. Use the Out Ceiling to cap the maximum output at a safe level.

Features:

  • Full Automation for all parameters PC and Mac OS X
  • Easy-to-use modern interface
E-Retrovox
Also available individually

The RetroVox is designed to add a wide range of vocal effects to any studio toolkit. The Vinylizer generates the warm sound and drive of old vinyl records. You can even add the vinyl pops and clicks, and at various speeds like 33 rpm or 78 rpm. Other features of the RetroVox include Noise Gate, Compressor, Bass and Treble controls, Brick-Wall Limiter, and “V-Mix” which blends the output of the Vinylizer with the “non-Vinylized” signal of the RetroVox. The Retro-Vox by Nomad Factory provides amazing effects and processing functions for use specifically on vocal tracks. In addition to a Gate and Compressor, this plug-in offers Tone controls and hi/lo pass filters to create a wide range of vocal effects, such as “Gramophone”, tape simulation or the mid-range “phone voice”.

Features:

  • Full Automation for all parameters PC and Mac OS X
  • Easy-to-use modern interface
E-Tube Tape Warmer
Also available individually

Digital audio can sometimes sound lifeless or brittle. Add some analog warmth and drive to those tracks with Nomad Factory’s Tube/Tape Warmer. This effect gives sterile audio the coveted sounds of tube circuitry and analog tape saturation. Engage the 12AX7 tubes (A or B) and increase the drive control individually for extra bite. You can independently add the sound of analog tape rolling at 30 or 15 ips. Use the Tone control to dial in just the right amount of high or low frequencies to highlight the added warmth.

Features:

  • Full Automation for all parameters PC and Mac OS X
  • Easy-to-use modern interface

Nomad Factory Essential Studio Suite: Full Demonstration

This video shows off the Nomad Factory Essential Studio Suite. Whether you're mixing your multi-track projects, or mastering your final stereo mixes for CD, the Essential Studio Suite is packed with the kind of plug-ins that have proven essential for today's music. And they're easy to use because they were designed by musicians for musicians.

Here is what the press has to say about Nomad Factory products.

 

Musicplayer.com WIHO Award
Motown Retro Bundle
"With the resurrection of the Motown sound in modern music through artists like Amy Winehouse and Raphael Saadiq we wanted to try to use these for what they are intended — put a little old-school feeling into our mixes... The sonic qualities of the plug-ins were top notch, but they especially shined in the higher frequencies. This was very apparent when working with drums. When we applied the Retrology Music-Tone to our overheads we heard a new life and brightness from cymbals that were previously flat and dull simply by running through the preset options. With a few final adjustments and the addition of the Retrology Film-Tone's overlapping frequency bands to hone in on exactly what we wanted, we had a beautiful marriage of modern recording and classic sound."

 

Computer Music
Magnetic
"We were particularly impressed by the way tape colour could create pumping overheads on a drum kit and popping compression on synth bass... as a tasty analogue thickening agent, Magnetic really shines."

 

Sounds and Gear
Echoes
"I give Echoes 5 out of 5 subs, it’s really the best echo plug-in I’ve used in my personal opinion, fun, simple to use, and sounds great."

 

Computer Music
Pulse-Tec EQs
"Pulse-Tec EQs can certainly add warmth to a broad range of instruments, and those famous overlapping boost/attenuate controls can really bring the bass to life. If you're finding it hard to make an instrument gel in the mix, a few small adjustments with Pulse-Tec EQs can work wonders, and the clipper section, while not vital, is handy if you crave yet more warmth, or even a little dirt. The presets aren't too shabby either."
