TAL-DAC is the latest release of Togu Audio Line and is an easy-to-use effect plugin that emulates the iconic sound character of vintage music gear (samplers…)
Often we wish the good old days back where samplers had a very nice sound. In order to maintain this, companies develop plugins that can authentically replicate that. One of these is the new TAL-DAC plugin by Togu Audio Line. It’s an effect that emulates the iconic sound of vintage music gear like samplers from the 80s.
This effect plugin is based on algorithms which are already available in the excellent TAL-Sampler. These are now available in the TAL-DAC and can used with any audio signal. Good to hear is that the plugin is free of charge for users of the TAL-Sampler plugin.
Overview
TAL-DAC is not an ordinary bit crusher or sample rate reducer. The plug-in is based on the TAL-Sampler sound engine. It emulates a sample recorded on a low sample rate with reduced bit depth and upsamples it to the desired host sample rate. It’s possible to choose different algorithms for the upsampling process to emulate the characteristics of different samplers.
A low and high shelf EQ together with a AMP Drive in the reconstruction section allow it to approximate the sound character of different sampler AMP’s. Also it is possible to emulate hot recorded signals using the input volume knob. This plug-in can be used on a wide range of audio material, but it’s especially useful and authentic on drum sounds.
Features
- Recording stage with input volume control and soft clipper (adds odd harmonics).
- Variable recording sample rate (1000Hz-44100Hz).
- Variable recording bit-depth (4bit-16bit) with different algorithms (mu-law, mu-law delta, linear).
- Reconstruction section with different reconstruction methods (hold, variable, linear, S1000/sinc).
- Very steep reconstruction filters (optional).
- AMP drive (add’s even and odd harmonics to the signal).
- A high- and low shelf filter (12dB).
- All non-linear components are 8x oversampled to avoid aliasing.
TAL-DAC is now available in the beta version for 25€ for VST/AU/AAX. It’s available for free for users of the TAL-Sampler plugin!
