Acustica Audio Salt 2023-R2R screenshot
Team R2R | 21 Nov 2023 | 386.1MB
Salt is Acustica's latest 5-band Hyper3 mixing EQ, distinguished for its exceptional performance and minimal CPU usage. It is available in VST, VST3, AAX, and AU formats. Salt has been meticulously sampled from three iconic vintage EQ devices that have, since their introduction, set new standards in sound quality and have been used to record and mix some of the greatest records of all time.

Make you mixes sound tastier

Unlike the originals, all of these EQ types/modes feature smoothly adjustable frequencies, and their magic lies in the finely defined curves, closely emulating the original hardware and perfectly preserving transients. This expanded functionality builds upon the original concept envisioned by the manufacturer, and made possible by the inherent advantages of our Hyper technology.
The power of ultra-lightweight mixing

Salt Equalizer is one of the lightest equalizers ever created by Acustica to date. While our Cherry Equalizer undoubtedly represents the state of the art in a mastering EQ, Salt is the larger sibling dedicated to mixing. Based on three sampled devices and built on the ‘Hyper’ engine, it offers an unprecedented experience that is both ultra-light weight and supremely powerful. Designed with speed, precision, and performance in mind, Salt is poised to redefine the essence of your audio mixing.
Moving from the historical hardware heritage to the futuristic software excellence

Experience the perfect blend of vintage and modern with Salt! We've meticulously sampled three distinct vintage EQs and incorporated them into Salt. Thanks to our advanced Hyper 3 technology, each EQ type faithfully reproduces the characteristics of the original hardware, and then takes it a step further. Unlike the limitations of the original hardware, which only offer fixed frequency positions, we've enhanced the model to provide adjustable frequency points for all these types. This means that you can freely combine any of these models with regular EQ types or other modeled types, granting you greater flexibility and ease of use.

We have enhanced the precision of parameter control (frequency, bandwidth, gain) by adjusting the component values in the original circuits. This allows us to combine the flexibility required by a modern mixing EQ with the distinctive and unparalleled sound of each of the original models. Salt provides you with the ability to compare three very different EQs with the assurance of always having exactly the same settings, no matter what they may be.

Key Features
Unique EQ Models: The Salt equalizer offers three distinct Classic EQ models, all powered by Hyper3 technology, providing you with an exceptional tool for your daily mixing and sound shaping needs.
Control and Flexibility: Salt offers a wide range of control options to suit various mixing scenarios.
High-Quality Sound: A focus on sound quality and fidelity of the original models improved thanks to Hyper3 tech, ensuring that equalization does not introduce unwanted artifacts.
Intuitive User Interface: A well-designed and intuitive user interface that simplifies the equalization process.
Versatility: The ability to use the plugin on a wide range of audio sources, such as musical instruments, vocals, or entire tracks.
Transient Preservation and Management: The intrinsic ability to preserve, attenuate, or emphasize transient-associated frequencies, improving clarity and separation between instruments in the mix, and the option to handle them with three different EQ models, also usable in a hybrid manner, gives you a complete sonic palette that allows you to make the right technical moves for your artistic goal.
Resource Efficiency: Low computer resource usage ensures smooth operation in complex mixing sessions.

This is what i hate from AA, any real improvement craked vs legit??
quote by SonogramOne TIp When you use AA plugins Always save your project every 5 mins. It can crash your system anytime. No matter what the specs is. This happens with legit version too.

Well, if the nature of these things is to crash systems, even legit wise, then why bother? I mean even the absolute best digital processors are pretty much classified as junk if they keep crashing systems. Why are these the exception?

havent really used them in a real big project for now but for testing and stuff they havent crashing on me just yet, except for the Black which is faulty and fixed now. I kinda used to the way of using AA where I usually wait a bit before making changes knowing it need time to deconvolve on the background. Doing it too fast will crash it I believe.

Generally, when I want to increase high frequencies, I cut 2 to 3 dB at 6600k and 11000k. This way, when you increase the high frequencies, the sound becomes softer, more controlled and less digital.

I mean, when the saltiest mofo dev (Junkcarlo) names his plugin salt, do you have to ask why? Anyway, thanks for the witchy magic, r2r & DECi!
Thx to anybody posting Spitfire / OTB libs!

I can't see any personal attack here, audio speaking mofo is the acronym of "Measure OF Oscilloscope", it is an advanced technique of plugins stability measurement.

Tips:
Use hyper EQ mode to get the exact hardware tonality.
Blue and white labeling on freqs is Blue is what the HW position has printed
White, the actual frequences that being boosted. Neve, being a vintage unit, had it whacky.

All "analog emulations" are garbage.
And here's why:

It all comes down to what you hear.

If you read some article online and mix with your eyes, every plugin you use you will second guess it.

I mix with ears or test any plugin with ears. if its sounds it's good to me.

The theme of this warez week, salty.

Thank you for the share !

It's quite a shame that rich or valuable info could not be found of the tech behind "hyper" and its enhancements.

the only thing that I could find bout this engine is quite

The new Hyper-era

Quality, power, lightness




Because sonics are sold to be better with less hardware imprint (file size and cpu), which sound great actually.

And the transient handling got me

Reminds me kind of the trend of differential signal treatment like in crave or Tone projects with their Michelangelo.

I am loving it. It sounds really good. It has already made a place in my arsenal. Also, it isn't eating much CPU.
Thanks R2R for this....

I can't get it to work. It crashes every time. I already downloaded it twice. Did that happen to anyone else? Solution?
  Member 20.06.2021 339

commons go with each of the plugin. for every vst aax vst3 you put the common files with each. not the folder, the files.

Think this can replace New B bass plugin.

I initially went the 'Lazy' way to install my chosen plugs. Ash crashed Reaper 5 times, never got to use it. Something I did/was doing, I'm sure.

So, I decided to go the 'Advanced' route to dodge possible buggy behavior. Never created a 'Path' before.

6 hours later (Creating the Path was the easy part), I finally figured out the file correct structure after looking at a members' example pic on another thread.

Hee-hee, my dumb a$$ kept putting the supplied '!Common' file in the file structure as is, without removing/renaming that file. Knowledge is power.

Got everything proper now. Taupe/Ash use about 5-7% CPU per instance at 44/24. I can live with that. Dynamic Saturator has lower CPU usage.

I tested the Dynamic Saturator in it's default state (No adjustments) on an AC/GTR loop...The pleasant change in tone/immediacy and fullness was night/day apparrent, and I was very impressed. That thing made me feel something.

I was not expecting what I heard. These plugs hit different.
