REQ: Plugin Alliance Maor Appelbaum Mastering & Hendyamps THE OVEN
Get irresistible “fully cooked” sounds out of this unique and inspiring color box
OVERVIEW
Full of analog flavor
THE OVEN is not a typical EQ or saturator. It’s a colorful “Mojo Box” designed to "Cook, Bake & Broil" any sound source, whether an individual track, stem, group, mixbuss or mastering chain. From subtle hi-fi enhancement to aggressive drive, it will add warmth, size, depth, color and sizzle to your tracks.
The color of tubes and solid state combined
Designed by world renowned mastering engineer Maor Appelbaum and acclaimed analog hardware designer Chris Henderson, THE OVEN is an “out of the box” take on tonal coloration that is quickly making fans out of producers, engineers, mixers, mastering engineers and composers alike. Bringing together the best of classic meets modern tube and solid state designs, it features a unique set of controls for intuitive, creative and FUN tone tweaking.
One-of-a-kind operation that’s easier than scrambling an egg
The controls on THE OVEN may seem unusual at first—but that’s a feature, not a bug. They are designed to help you turn off your technical mind and start making bold and creative choices immediately. Use the COOK control to add thick bloom, pentode tube drive, and the three BURNERS to layer in multiband saturation and tonal shaping options. Turn up the TEMP to push them harder for added color and mojo, or switch from BAKE to BROIL and ELEC to GAS to change the voicing and response of the tube circuit. Adjust controls like BURN TYPE, BUNSEN and SIZZLE to quickly dial in freshly baked new sounds. To get memorable and useful tone, you don’t even have to know what these controls are supposed to do! Just let your taste and imagination guide you, and you’ll love what you hear.
Further enhanced with digital-only features from Brainworx
This adventuresome plugin has additional features that are not in the original hardware thanks to the retractable Extra Unit from Brainworx, which adds in the Mono Maker, Stereo Width control, TMT and more.
