REQ: Acustica Audio Lace

Lace is the first Acqua plugin suite (VST/VST3/AAX/AU), which features a curated selection of high-quality hardware limiters, carefully chosen to provide you with the best from the professional Audio market, including some esteemed models no longer in production.
Lace includes two different GUI to choose from:
* LACE: plugin version based on a 3D ‘Acustica’s classic-style’ GUI.
* LACE ‘Flat’: plugin version based on a 2D ‘modern-style’ GUI.


Details
Lace aims to overcome a crucial challenge in mixing and mastering: effectively combining limiting and digital clipping without compromising sound quality. Many True Peak Limiters struggle with managing transients, which are instantaneous peaks of sound produced by percussive instruments, that can result in being attenuated or distorted. Moreover, these limiters can negatively affect low frequencies, reducing them and thus compromising the fullness and warmth of the mix, leading to tracks that sound overly bright or compressed.
Lace is designed to overcome these obstacles, preserving the transients and the integrity of the low frequencies. It also addresses the issue of level variations caused by suboptimal reaction times in traditional limiters, which can lead to excessive use of limiting. This, in turn, can alter the dynamic balance of the track, especially in quieter sections. With Lace, the goal is to offer all the benefits of an advanced limiter, solving these fundamental problems to ensure a balanced and consistent sound throughout your mix.
