Virtual Console Collection
The Virtual Console Collection consists of two modules: Virtual Channel and Virtual Mixbuss. Each module allows the user to choose from one of six meticulously modeled consoles.
The Virtual Channel is designed for individual mixing channels, while the Virtual Mixbuss is best used as the first insert on the master fader.
When used across a mix, your DAW takes on the personality of a real analog desk. Imaging and depth improve, instruments sit better in the spectrum, and mixing becomes more musical. You can even push faders to hit each mixer's “sweet spot.”
VU Meter & Reference Level
- Displays the RMS level post-console and pre-output gain.
- Default calibration: 0VU = -18dBFS (1kHz sine wave).
- Reference Level affects all VCC modules globally per type (Channel or Mixbuss).
Clip-LED
- Indicates when input exceeds a console’s clip threshold.
- Represents saturation and nonlinear behavior typical of analog gear.
Input & Output Trim
- Input Trim: Controls level pre-processing. Hitting the console harder adds saturation but behaves differently than Drive.
- Output Trim: Controls post-processing level — useful for gain staging into subsequent VMR modules.
Group I/O
- Isolates Input and Output sections from Group control.
Link I/O
- Links Input and Output trims for constant perceived loudness during adjustments.
Console
Selects from six console models, each with unique tone and behavior.
Console Drive
- Increases harmonic saturation without affecting output level.
- Behaves differently than Input Trim — Drive emphasizes nonlinear analog tone.
- Can be dialed down (counterclockwise) or pushed to 18 for maximum color.
Group
Assigns a VCC Channel or Mixbuss instance to one of eight mix groups.
Noise Reduction
Removes modeled analog noise from the selected console model.
Group Bypass
Bypasses processing for the entire assigned group. Similar to the Power button but applied across grouped modules.
