MIA Laboratories Musiqual Green MKII

The Musiqual Green MKII from MIA Laboratories offers a soft and subtle coloration with a transparent sound. It features transistor harmonic distortion and transistor - flavored compression. This unit has a strong transistor character, delivering that classic 1990s sound. Its EQ provides a fairly transparent sound with a distinct transistor flavor, typical of analog technology. You have full access in the 20Hz - 20kHz range without pre - determined bands. The 'colour' is soft and discrete. The harmonic distortion component mostly adds odd harmonics, with the 3rd one being the most prominent, and you can precisely adjust the distortion amount. The compressor is tuned to match the transistor character, with fixed attack and release settings for easy control of compression. The Musiqual series replicates analog gear, with different colors (Red for Tube, Green for Transistor, Blue for Class A) to add a warm, analog touch to your sound. System requirements include Mac 10.7 Lion and above (64 - bit only), Windows 7, 8, or 10 (64 - bit only), a free iLok account and iLok License Manager, and support for iLok USB or iLok Cloud licensing. Plugin formats are AAX Native (64 - bit), Audio Units, VST3.

Using the Musiqual Green MKII is quite straightforward. First, make sure your system meets the requirements like having a compatible Mac or Windows 64 - bit operating system, a free iLok account, and the iLok License Manager. Install the plugin in the supported formats (AAX Native, Audio Units, VST3). Once installed, you can start adding that classic 1990s sound to your audio. To adjust the sound color, play around with the EQ in the 20Hz - 20kHz range. For adding some character, use the harmonic distortion control to precisely set the amount of odd harmonics, especially the prominent 3rd one. The compressor, with its fixed attack and release settings, makes it easy to control the compression. Just set the amount you want to apply to the sound. As for maintenance, keep your system updated and make sure your iLok account is in good standing. If you face any issues, check the iLok licensing status and ensure it's either properly connected via USB or set up on the cloud.
