Acustica Audio Releases Erin Studio

Acustica Audio has announced the release of Erin Studio, a mastering plugin suite that evolves from their Erin plugin. Inspired by well known tube-based analog mastering systems, the suite includes three separate plug-ins: a 3D-style EQ, a 'flat' 2D version of the same EQ, and a dedicated compressor. The original hardware that inspired the suite has been used by engineers and artists such as Pink Floyd, Lenny Kravitz, Joe Gastwirt, James Guthrie, and Robert Ludwig. Erin Studio aims to bring that character into the DAW, combining analog warmth with digital flexibility. The suite is built using Acustica's Hyper Technology, which focuses on delivering a realistic analog response with reduced CPU usage. Erin Studio Components: Erin Studio (3D Version): A 5-band stereo tube EQ that emulates a classic mastering unit. It includes real-time high- and low-pass filters, a spread control that can also function as a mono-maker for low-end focus, and interactive metering, all presented in a photorealistic 3D interface. Erin Studio Flat (2D Version): This plugin features the exact same sound engine as the 3D version but with a modern, flat graphical interface for users who prefer a cleaner, more minimalist workflow. Erin Comp Studio (2D Version): A mono compressor and brickwall limiter optimized for mastering transparency. It includes five different models for various dynamics tasks and a refined Peak-RMS control. Key Features: Three plug-ins: Erin Studio (3D), Erin Studio Flat (2D), and Erin Comp Studio (2D). 'Hyper' 5-band tube EQ with integrated high-pass and low-pass filters. Enhanced Spread control which doubles as a monomaker. Real-time displays for EQ curves, filters, and compression. Hyper Technology for ultra-realistic analog response and CPU efficiency. Resizable UI. Selectable oversampling and listening modes for different tasks. Includes factory presets. Price and Availability Erin Studio is available now for an introductory price of €69 (22% off the regular price of €89) until October 16, 2025. The suite is available in VST3, AAX, and AU formats for Windows and macOS, with native support for Apple Silicon. A free 30-day trial is also available. https://youtu.be/vEDdzyl6Ymw Read More
