TAL-DAC

Based on the TAL-Sampler sound engine

TAL-DAC brings back the character and sound of the 80’s samplers and Lo-Fi devices in one effect plug-in. You can use it for subtle sound changes but also extreme effects.

TAL-DAC is not an ordinary bit crusher or sample rate reducer. The plug-in is based on the TAL-Sampler sound engine. It emulates a sample recorded on a low sample rate with reduced bit depth and upsamples it to the desired host sample rate.

It’s possible to choose different algorithms for the upsampling process to emulate the characteristics of different samplers. A low and high shelf EQ together with a AMP Drive in the reconstruction section allows it to approximate the sound character of different sampler AMP’s.  It is also possible to emulate hot recorded signals using the input volume knob.

TAL-DAC emulates the unique sound of vintage digital-to-analog converters, known for their distinct sonic characteristics. These converters were integral to the sound of early digital samplers, adding warmth and color to digital recordings. TAL-DAC faithfully reproduces the subtle imperfections, harmonics, and nonlinearities that give digital audio a vintage vibe and character.

This plug-in can be used on a wide range of audio material, but it’s especially useful and authentic on drum sounds.
