Secret is the sixth Acqua plugin in Acustica Audio’s Boutique Collection series. Inspired by an ultra-rare, hand-built American console that became iconic in one of Hollywood’s most legendary studios during the 1970s, Secret recreates the unparalleled warmth and character of analog production while offering modern features designed for today’s digital workflows.
Acustica Audio meticulously selected not just the original console, but the entire range of gear used in the studio that inspired Secret, ensuring every element is faithfully reproduced. Their goal was simple: to provide an authentic, unique sound that guarantees professional results. From the carefully crafted EQ to the fully reimagined compression and preamp sections, each component is tuned to perfection, giving you the same confidence and quality that characterized the classic recordings of the past.
