NastyVCS is a virtual console strip designed to bring a new dimension of signal coloration to your audio production. It centers around a unique opto-electric compression unit that allows precise control over channel dynamics and tone. The plugin introduces a dedicated input stage featuring rich pre-amp saturation, enhancing the warmth and character of your sound, while a brickwall limiter in the output stage ensures signal integrity and prevents unwanted distortion during processing.

This console strip operates with zero latency, making it ideal for both tracking and mixing without any delay or workflow interruptions. It includes two versatile filters that can be applied either within the audio path or in the compressor’s sidechain, which supports external signals for greater creative flexibility. These filters enable detailed tone shaping and dynamic control, allowing producers to craft their sound with precision and musicality.

NastyVCS also features an equalizer section with four interactive coloring tools, each offering carefully selected curves that add musical character whether applied before or after compression. A phase alignment tool complements the design, providing additional means to shape the tonal balance and phase coherence of your tracks. This combination of features makes NastyVCS a powerful tool for enhancing audio signals with unique coloration and professional-level dynamics control.
