As Above, So Below
Smooth, analog filters without any of the guess work.
Tame lows and soften highs with a carefully curated selection of frequencies, then activate Focus to tighten and accentuate the low end in front of the HPF. Both filters can be swapped between 6db and 12db/octave slopes, perfect for bus or mastering duties.
Tonal Authority
Vacuum-powered harmonic stimulation.
Push subtly or aggressively into a rich, dedicated vacuum tube stage with Emphasis controls that have been meticulously tuned to optimize the amount of lows and highs that feed the drive circuit.
Boundless Control
Dynamics that are as flexible as they are powerful.
Thick glue. Bottomless density. Thunderous punch. Instantly swap between Feedback (Classic) & Feedforward (Modern) topologies to radically alter the tone and character of the compressor at the flip of a switch. This is bus compression without compromise.
Spectral Harmony
Unapologetically simple. Elegantly voiced.
Bespoke, analog-modeled EQ and tone shaping that is every bit as potent as it is effortless.
High-Tempered
Soften and tame even the harshest of highs.
An additional compressor section with an adjustable crossover frequency ranging from 2.5KHz to 18KHz grants total control over brittle and unpleasant highs, precisely tuned with transparency in mind.
Spatial Field Mastery
Classic stereo shuffling, expanded.
From subtle depth to expansive stereophonic enhancement, the stereo field is yours to command.
Forged In Cold Iron
No peaks left behind.
Engage the output transformer to inject warmth, weight, and density. Increase the Glow parameter to emphasize and target midrange clarity and aggression within the circuit, then dial it all in to taste. Component-level softclipping and a dedicated softclip stage can be yet another colour in your tonal palette, or act as a final peak control to squeeze out every last bit of headroom.
Thaumaturge is a super impressive bus processor. When used to its fullest extent, it's a powerful tool that enhances any great sounding audio into something truly polished. The dual compressors allow for tons of options with dynamic control, and the tone shaping is incredibly musical and smooth. Also, vibe matters: the art deco design is beautiful and is way more fun to look at than a lot of other plugins of the same nature. I highly recommend Thaumaturge!
