On that note, many of you have asked us if there’s a way you can help. And the answer is now, YES! Half of our workforce has experienced significant house flooding and wind damage from Hurricane Milton.

A little bit of background: last time we dealt with this kind of flooding was with Hurricane Ian, back in 2022. Not only did our shop suffer damage, ultimately resulting in the move to our current new facility, but the homes of a number of our employees were severely damaged as well. We held a raffle to raise funds to help with the costs of repair, and thanks to your generosity, we were able to raise about $16,000, all of which went directly to our employees to help them rebuild.

This year, we’re trying something a little different. Normally, the best way to support us is through buying our hardware (more on that below). However, we wanted to open things up a bit, since we know not everybody may be in a place to buy new gear right away. So this time around, we’re offering our current plugin bundle - which includes the XL-305R reverb, Golden 58 Preamp, and Dual V Comp plugins - for a flat $100, or $277 off the full bundle price, with the option to pay more if you want. (Every little bit helps!)

But… since we know what everybody *really* wants is more gear… we’re also including a $100 coupon toward a future purchase, with any purchase of our plugin bundle for $100 or more.  So really it’s like you’re getting the plugins for free, PLUS the chance to help out some hardworking AudioScape employees, plus an excuse to grab the gear your heart desires ;)

Why get one plugin when you can get three?

Get the new AudioScape Plugin Bundle that includes the XL-305R Equally Tempered Stereo Reverb Dual Plugin, the Golden58 Stereo Tube Preamp / Saturator Plugin, and the V-Comp "6386 Edition" Vari-Mu Compressor Dual Plugin.

The XL-305R Equally Tempered Stereo Reverb Dual Plugin. We’re took our first step into a larger world with the introduction of the XL-305R Plugin, the software version of our acclaimed XL-305R Spring Reverb. Our designers teamed up with Canadian plug-in developer Kiive Audio to recreate in the digital realm our take on a classic 1980’s analog reverb tank. AudioScape has stayed true to our philosophy of more-real-than-recreated by making this plugin a doppelganger of our hardware offering. The XL-305R for Mac and Windows is perfect if you want to stay in-the-box , but still want the sweet vibe of vintage analog reverb.

AND

The Golden 58 Tube Preamp / Saturator Plugin. The Golden 58 Plugin is a digital version of the acclaimed Golden 58 Stereo Tube Preamp. The limited-edition Golden 58 was a six-tube, four-NOS-transformer deep dive into big-tone, reminiscent of late 1950’s tube tech. AudioScape has now teamed up with Canadian plug-in developer Kiive Audio to re-create this modern tone-monster in the digital realm. 

AND

TheAudioScape V-Comp+ “Deluxe 6386 Edition” is our enhanced take on a legendary variable-mu, all-tube compressor made in the 1950’s. Originally designed for broadcast, it gained a reputation among engineers and producers as one of the most musical and effortless compressors ever created. Working in collaboration directly with Kiive Audio, we’re proud to bring you their legendary Vari-Mu Compressor: V-Comp, in plugin form. We’ve stayed true to the AudioScape philosophy of more-real-than-recreated by staying true to the sound, as well as bringing features only possible in plugin form!.

WELCOME TO THE XL-305R PLUGIN FOR MAC & WINDOWS FROM AUDIOSCAPE

12 Springs Equally Tempered

AudioScape’s hardware version of the XL-305R has its roots in the digital-free XL-305 Spring Reverb released by Micmix in 1979. An immediate success, it quickly found its way into major studios worldwide. Owing to its smooth decay and unique sonic signature, it has been a secret weapon reverb over the years and has gained cult-like status. Unlike many spring reverbs, this spring assembly has 12 springs tuned together making it equally tempered, very similar to opening the lid of a piano, holding the damper open and singing into the strings . Working from this core design principle, we re-imagined the rest of our hardware version of the XL-305R from the ground up. After four years of R & D under the direction of Wayne Kirkwood (original designer of the XL-305), we brought our take on this ground-breaking design from the last century into this one. 

Now we’re proud to bring you the software version of this classic with our new XL-305R Equally-Tempered Spring Reverb plugin. We’ve stayed true to our philosophy of more-real-than-recreated by making this plugin nearly a doppelganger of our hardware offering.

Features:

• INPUT controls drive the signal to the tank, signal overload LEDs son each channel

• MIX controls blend the wet/ dry ratio

• 4-band boost/cut EQ on each channel, for shaping the tone of the wet signal

• Mono Drive Lighted Push-button Switch stereo links the channels together ,and makes it easier to bring the stereo image together

• Mono Return Lighted Push-button Switch sends the signal from the Reverb assembly out, summed to mono

• LED indicators on the right side of the unit allow the user to monitor the total output level of the Reverb itself

Artist Presets from:

• Armon Jay

• Matt Lange

The Golden 58 Tube Preamplifier / Saturator Plugin is a Modern Classic!

The original circuit was developed by Chris Yetter and his team at AudioScape.

Chris says: ”The circuit is all original, based around the 5879 tube (hence the name Golden 58), which is the US military equivalent of the EF86 tube used in famous British preamps. In fact, we feel it is very much the American Answer to those Classic preamps from across the pond, the Tele V series and 47 style preamps, with a few tasteful upgrades to bring it from yesteryear into the modern age. With the handy voice filters and separate Line Input jacks, this simple, yet elegant, preamp can cover a lot of ground.”

The hardware version of the Golden 58 was always fated to be a limited run. Using parts like four NOS transformers per unit, and hard to source 5879 tubes ensured that. But, the radiant warmth and saturation of the original is now available again with the Golden 58 Plugin. Some new enhancements have been added to the plugin like an Auto-Gain control for more consistent output levels following the Saturation/ Harmonics stage, and Output Trims, which give the user even more saturation options.

Features:

• 6 Premium, NOS Tubes-NOS Philips/GE 5879’s and GE/JAN 12au7’s

• Exclusive NOS Input Transformers (4 of them per unit). Completely flat from 20hz-50khz, perfect pairing with this high character tube design

• HUGE, Chunky Cornell Dubilier (CDE) and Wima Polypropylene Capacitors

• Vishay-Sprague higher wattage Resistors throughout

• Phantom, Polarity and Line/Mic switches

• +56dB Gain per Channel (+/- 1db)

• Voice switch provides the perfect Voice filter for vocal tracking (Single pole Butterworth filter with 3db dip around 40hz crossover point)

• Alpha potentiometers and Carling Switches
