Excite Audio throws you another Lifeline with its multi-module Console plugin
Excite Audio has released Lifeline Console, an enhanced version of its predecessor Lifeline Expanse – a satisfying melange of amp sim and multi-effect.
Lifeline Console enables you to work with five reorderable effect modules, which this time are designed to emulate the sound of vintage analogue hardware. These include a preamp, a 4-band parametric EQ, a compressor, and modulation and wear modules – both of which are designed to emulate the behaviour of tape, vinyl and cassette. Each module has a choice of three algorithms, advanced parameters for deeper control and mid/side compatibility.
Global controls include Warm and Shine knobs, and a Triangle Pad that enables you to blend between clean and vintage emulations of mixing and desk circuitry and your dry signal. In addition, you get 325 presets.
Lifeline Console runs on PC and Mac in VST/AU/AAX formats.
Lifeline Console is currently available for the introductory price of $49/£39/€49, rising to $69/£59/€69. It can be purchased exclusively through Plugin Boutique, and a trial version is also on offer.
