FATSO Product
Description
The EL7 FATSO is a modern digitally controlled analog
device that offers many of the "musical non-linearities" exhibited by the older
tube, class A discrete, and magnetic tape mediums. This two channel audio
processor will musically integrate frequencies and transients and increase the
apparant volume without actual increase in peak levels. In addition, two
channels of famous Empirical Labs compression are provided. There are several
compressor "types" with fixed attacks and releases (if you want a fully
controllable compressor, you will need the Empirical Labs
Distressor!).
Users can enhance & soften the
sound of mediums such as modular digital multitracks (MDM's), HD recorders, Dat
recorders, Ram Recorders etc. Mixdown engineers will have an option not to use
bulky, expensive, (and often flaky) analog tape recorders to get the warmth and
sweet high end they've come to rely on for so many decades. Owners of Adats,
MDM's, RAM and modern hard disk recorders can finally put a stop to complaints
about the "coldness" and "brittle edge" of their mixes and instruments with the
"rounded" and "musically non linear elements" of vintage analog. Finally,
audiophiles can bring back the warmth and cuddly sound of LP's and tapes to
their CD players, and other digital reproduction mediums.
