Acustica Audio Cream 2 [MacOSX]

Cream 2 is based on an iconic series of hand-built British vacuum-tubes, transistors, and solid state hardware made between the late 1950s and the early 70s. Cream offers a unique tone that stands out for its incredible warmth and tonal richness, largely thanks to the rare topology and historic components used in the original hardware.

The Cream Preamp: A Sound So Warm You Might Get Sunburned
The preamp module of Cream packs all the juice of a British transistor-based, solid state recording and mixing console from 1970 plus a classic valve tape machine from the 1960s.

Cream EQ
Cream EQ is the result of an extensive and elaborate sampling process of various hardware units, and is derived from what is arguably the most famous solid-state console of the 1960s. This marvelous example of engineering helped shape the history of music that still resonates today. Add the best features of this powerful tool to this our select collection of “homebrewed” filter emulations, and you've got Cream EQ: the perfect mojo machine for your mixes.

The Cream Compressor
Cream's compressor emulates two different, very special hardware units. One of them was sampled from a legendary desk from the 1970s, whereas the second model is based on vintage British tube compressor from the 1960s.

This compressor particularly embodies what we would call the “sound of the sixties,” which is instantly recognizable from The Beatles' records and which was the hallmark of the sonic signature of most of the recordings that came out of the legendary Abbey Road Studios.
