Arturia Pre 1973 Vintage Preamp Plug-In

Arturia 1090-54 Overview

Available for download, the Pre 1973 Vintage Preamp Plug-In from Arturia is an emulation of the classic 1073 hardware preamp designed by Rupert Neve back in 1970. It can be used by producers, sound engineers, and artists on Mac and Windows computers to capture a taste of that harmonically rich, classic tone in your DAW and music programs. The software supports the AAX Native, AU, VST2, VST3, and NKS platforms.

The Pre 1973 allows you to creatively shape your signal with low-, mid-, and high-band controls. The low-band controls let you balance the bass content in your signal, the mid band can add presence, or you can cut the mud, and adjust the high-band to add shine and air or remove any unwanted sharpness. Additionally, the input gain controls how much of your signal is sent through the circuitry. Subtle levels introduce the brilliance for which the 1073 is known.
