The Iconic 70s Solid State Flavor
Mint is a boutique suite that recreates a rare GLW console from the late 1970s. This specific hardware is often linked to the legendary Harrison 32C architecture, which was the secret weapon behind iconic records like Michael Jackson’s Thriller.
Key Features
-
Musical 4-Band EQ: A semi-parametric equalizer known for its "forgiving" nature. You can boost or cut significantly while maintaining a smooth, professional tone.
-
Vintage Preamp Saturation: Features multiple preamp models that add that sought-after "weight" and "density" characteristic of high-end 1970s consoles.
-
High-Performance Filters: The HP and LP filters are a standout feature, allowing for surgical cleaning of the frequency spectrum without introducing harsh phase shifts.
-
Hyper Technology: As one of the newer suites, Mint benefits from Acustica’s Hyper technology, offering lower CPU consumption and improved transient response compared to older versions.
Pro Tip: Be generous with the High-Pass filter on vocals and acoustic guitars. It is tuned so musically that it cleans up the low-end mud while preserving the essential warmth of the low-mids.
