Lifeline Format – Digital Damage
Reducing audio resolution and replicating the digital distortion found in early digital systems can impart a distinctive character to your audio, add intriguing textures and boost your sonic creativity. This is where Format shines – restricting digital audio data to produce warm, grainy layers, or much harsher digital deconstructions, depending on how far you want to take it.
Lifeline Dirt – Enhance Harmonics
Whether you need delicate textures or aggressive overdrive, Lifeline Dirt takes on the challenge, effortlessly. Warm your mixes with gentle tape or tube saturation, or add a gritty edge to vocals, guitars, basses, synths and drums with Rectify and Fuzz.
Lifeline Re-Amp – Replicate Realism
Transforming your sound with authentic room tones and ambient characteristics is now easier than ever with Lifeline Re-Amp intuitive speaker emulations and re-amping techniques. Re-amping helps to shape sounds and draw out their unique character. Where producers and engineers once needed hours to set up studios to create ambience and realistic room tones, Lifeline Re-Amp can instantly move microphones, switch amps and add effects to create a realistic ‘live’ environment in a few clicks.
Lifeline Width – Dream in Stereo
Manipulating stereo width is a vital processing technique in modern music production and allows producers to explore the full reaches of the sonic landscape. Lifeline Width’s unique controls can help you create vast soundscapes, captivating leads and intimate vocal takes and is designed to give your recordings depth, and immersion.
Lifeline Space – A New Dimension
Enhancing your tracks with reverb can add a rich, organic quality, transforming your mixes into a more immersive experience where reflections echo and decay, building natural room and depth. Lifeline Space’s ultra-flexible module Hall, Plate and Spring algorithms have been designed so they can be used early in a signal chain as a reverb effect pedal or placed at the end to create a limitless environment for your instruments to explore.
Lifeline Pre – Enhance Warmth
The crucial first stage in a recorded signal’s journey, a preamp adds gain but can also impart warmth, drive and excitation. Lifeline Pre’s pre-amp combines this classic preamp workflow with the customisability of the digital realm, letting you shape the frequency response curve of your circuit’s character to perfectly suit the instrument you’re working with.
Lifeline EQ – Shape Tonal Balance
Sculpting the frequency range of your audio is essential both for shaping the tonal balance of each channel and for allowing each element its own place in a mix. Lifeline EQ offers a classic parametric four-band approach with a choice of three modes. Gain mode offers a clean circuit for simple and precise EQ jobs. Vintage Circuit mode introduces additional harmonics to drive a signal when boosting. Dirty Circuit mode brings all-out saturation and distortion into the EQing process.
Lifeline Comp – Colourful Dynamic Control
Right from the early days of the studio, compressors and been essential to the sound of music. Today, compression is used more than ever before, and in many more applications. Lifeline Comp puts characterful dynamics control at the forefront and lets you choose between three compression types to suit a variety of sources and uses.
Lifeline Mod – Nostalgic Pitch Warping
In analogue audio formats, playback speed isn’t always perfectly consistent, and replicating this effect can lend a warm, nostalgic feel to lifeless digital audio. Lifeline Mod brings back the magic of pitch variations as experienced with Tape, Vinyl and Cassette, reintroducing the sound-warping character of these media, but with precise control over their properties.
Lifeline Wear – Creative Textural Layers
Use noise, hum, artefacts and dropouts to shape a sound’s tone and feel. Add life, realism or even a lo-fi texture to a mix, and use these factors creatively as part of your sound design and production workflow. Three Wear modes – Tape, Vinyl and Cassette bring three types of recogniseable degradation to your audio.
