Best Trident A Range Vst Free
The Trident A-Range equalizer is a legendary piece of equipment. As only thirteen A-Range consoles were ever made, it remains a holy grail for sound engineers and producers around the world that hope to create works of art equal to those that were originally recorded on the A-Range - David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust, Queen, Elton John, the list goes on. Only thirteen A-Range consoles were ever built, and the Softube plug-in version is a very exact model of channel 15 of the Trident A-Range at Sweet Silence Studio 'B' in Denmark. This is producer Flemming Rasmussen's favorite channel for recording lead vocals. String Ensemble Rompler Stringer by FalkeLab is in essence a free VST sample / soundfont player based on 5 different ensemble synths of the 70's (Eminent 310, Mellotron, Arp string ensemble, Crumar Performer, and Korg Trident). Now, thanks to Arturia's groundbreaking True Analog Emulation technology, you too can experience the incredible sound-shaping power of the legendary Trident A Range preamp and EQ. In the 60s and 70s, a period many consider to be the 'golden age' of the recording studio, the preamps within their bespoke mixing consoles - like the Trident A range.

The Trident A-Range is a tremendously nice sounding and highly characteristic equalizer. Its four frequency bands also have a way of integrating in sometimes rather unpredictable ways. More often than not you will find that the equalizer ends up giving you something even better than you may have expected, similar to the happy accidents that can.
The Trident A-Range equalizer is a legendary piece of equipment. Only thirteen A-Range consoles were ever made, but it remains a holy grail for sound engineers and producers around the world due to the list of classics that were originally recorded on the A-Range — David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust, records by Queen, Elton John, Rainbow, Metallica.

The A-Range plug-in from Softube is the first and only native and TDM plug-in that has been fully endorsed by original designer Malcolm Toft and Trident Audio.
The plug-in is a model of a channel on one of the original 13 Trident A-Range consoles. We chose to model channel 15 from the console at Sweet Silence Studio ´B´ in Denmark, producer Flemming Rasmussen´s favorite channel for recording lead vocals. Flemming also used it for the solo and rhythm guitars on Metallica´s 'Ride The Lightning' and 'Master of Puppets', and Ritchie Blackmore´s guitar on the Rainbow albums 'Difficult to Cure' and 'Bent out of Shape'.
The A-Range channel features four bands of equalization and high and low pass filters. The sound of the bands is often referred to as 'colorful' and 'musical'. When running a hot enough signal through the original unit and boosting the bands, it is possible to get it to distort, the result is a hairy and effective saturation that is just right in some situations, and just wrong in others!
'When I tried the Softube Trident A-Range equaliser plug-in for the first time, a big smile came upon my face. It was just like getting my desk back again. It sounds exactly as I´m used to hearing the eq.'
Flemming Rasmussen
Producer, Mixer, Engineer (Metallica, Morbid Angel, Blind Guardian etc.)
'I am pleased to say that this is an incredibly accurate software recreation of my original A-Range design.'
