Description<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

The Cr\u00e8me combines a passive EQ based on the Pultec principle and a high end bus compressor in a single device.<\/p>\n

Many successful mixing engineers share one thing in common: They mix with a compressor and EQ in the master channel. The EQ is usually set to subtly boost the bass and treble, while the bus compressor compresses the sound by a couple of dB. This gives the engineer an idea of how the mix will sound after mastering, even still during in the mixing stage. It also helps in finding the right volume balance for individual sounds (especially vocals).<\/p>\n

The Cr\u00e8me puts the very best of both functions into one device. The passive EQ has been reduced down to the most popular applications: Bass boost, to give greater definition to the bass, and treble boost, to give the mix the necessary shine. The boost has been made switchable to enable total recall and to reduce the boost to more appropriate levels for use on the master channel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The bus compressor has a few additional functions such as a low-pass filter for the side chain and an additional ratio of 1.5:1 for especially subtle compression.<\/p>\n

The placement of the EQ and compressor in the mix can also be switched.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the Cr\u00e8me is suitable for use in mastering aswell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The compressor<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Do you want to softly and inaudibly balance the track or give it a particular rhythmic signature? The Cr\u00e8me\u2019s VCA compressor can do all this.<\/p>\n

It\u00b4s characteristic and powerful sound can bring every mix to the next level. The compressor can really work hard, giving your mix a more noticeable open and brilliant sound.<\/p>\n

The compression is very harmonic in nature, the sound always remains transparent, and the individual instruments find their own place in the mix. The often lamentable loss of high notes in compression simply doesn\u2019t happen here \u2013 rather, the signal sounds like it has already been fed through an exciter.<\/p>\n

The basses sound like a unified whole and refined with lean dynamics.<\/p>\n

The switchable high-pass filter in the side chain ensures that, when required, even heavy bass sounds don\u2019t lead to pumping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The equalizer<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Passive equalizers with their elaborate circuits with coils and capacitors are still among the most popular sound makers in master compression.<\/p>\n

We chose the filter circuitry from the original Pultec for good reason, as it already made our Classic Equalizer a high-performance sound machine.<\/p>\n

No other type of EQ manages to sound as good in almost any matter of setting. Soft and silky highs that deserve the name. A bass boost that gives the mix a solid foundation and thrust, without squashing everything into an indistinct nothingness.<\/p>\n

We took the filter circuitry from the original Pultec and carefully updated it. Unnecessary controls have been replaced by fixed values. Similarly, unnecessary frequencies have been removed from the mix bus.<\/p>\n

All controls have been replaced with rotary switches for greater precision. Limiting the range of settings possible to reasonably required values has made these adjustments much more precise. This gives the Cr\u00e8me its accurate stereo tracking features.<\/p>\n

The result is an EQ you really have to hear. Hear it only once, and you\u2019ll forever miss its absence. If you\u2019ve never heard it, it\u2019s that EQ that you\u2019ve always been looking for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
