Eventide UltraChannel

Meta. Professional audio engineering for everyone! UltraChannel is a high - precision channel strip plug - in. It combines multiple feature - rich versions of Eventide's famous effects. Whether you're mixing or mastering, in any genre, it's the ultimate tool to bring your tracks and mixes to life. With industry - benchmark performance, it's also super versatile thanks to our exclusive FlexiPath routing. You can arrange processors according to your workflow. UltraChannel is great at creating space for instruments or vocals in the mix. There are countless ways to get the exact tone, dynamics, and frequency you want. It supports side - chaining, letting you use an alternative audio source to color your main signal. It also has micro - pitch functionality from the flagship H8000 hardware to thicken or widen the stereo of any instrument or vocal. FlexiPath allows you to drag and drop to reorder the signal path of top - level components like O - Pressor, compressor/de - esser, EQ, and Gate for maximum flexibility. The output module has an analogue transformer model that can be driven into saturation, providing a unique touch to low - frequency signals. The O - Pressor comes with two built - in compressors, one with de - essing and side - chaining, and the other is a unique addition. The 5 - band parametric EQ covers the whole audio spectrum. There are over 200 presets, including factory ones created by Eventide artists for various signal sources. You can also apply Eventide's patented pitch - shifting and control panning and delay spread, with delays feeding signals back into other modules.

Using UltraChannel is a breeze. First, if you're new, start by trying out the over 200 presets. These are tailored for different signal sources like guitar, bass, and vocals. It's a quick way to get a good sound. When you're ready to customize, use the 5 - band parametric EQ to adjust the frequency, gain, and Q of each band to fine - tune your audio. The FlexiPath feature gives you the freedom to reorder the signal path of components like the O - Pressor and EQ. Just drag and drop to experiment and find the best setup for your needs. If you want to add some character to your audio, use the soft - saturation and transformer emulation in the output module. For a more natural touch, use it subtly, and for a classic, saturated sound, drive it hard. When using side - chaining, select an alternative audio source to influence the characteristics of your main signal. And don't forget the micro - pitch shift and stereo delays. They can thicken your sound or increase the stereo spread. As for maintenance, make sure your software is up - to - date to ensure smooth performance. Also, keep your audio system clean and in good condition. Remember, avoid over - driving the compressors too much, as it might lead to unwanted distortion.
