Frost is a powerful channel strip plugin from the Acqua series that combines advanced processing capabilities into a single, easy-to-use interface. Available in multiple formats including VST, VST3, AU, and AAX, it harnesses Acustica's high-performance Hyper technology to deliver exceptional sound quality. Designed with inspiration from classic British-style channel strips, Frost offers a comprehensive suite including equalization, dynamic processing, pre-amplification, saturation, and clipping, all crafted to handle a wide range of audio tasks.

This plugin excels in adaptability and precision, making it suitable for various musical styles and production needs. Its three main modules — EQ, dynamics, and pre/clipper/saturator — can be used independently or together to enhance mixes with warmth, clarity, and punch. Frost’s dynamic EQ allows for quick and efficient control over complex frequency adjustments, while the saturation and preamp section adds energy and character to vocals and instruments. The plugin also supports multiple modes of operation, including stereo, mid, and side processing, offering flexibility in shaping the stereo image and adding depth.

Engineered to provide professional-grade processing with low CPU consumption, Frost delivers that sought-after sonic cohesion often achieved with expensive hardware. Its combination of Hyper compression, brickwall limiting, and oversampling ensures clean, polished results even in the most demanding mixes. Whether you’re aiming for a clean, transparent sound or a rich, textured tone, Frost adapts to support your creative vision and streamline your workflow, making it a valuable tool for mixing and mastering engineers alike.
