Creamy Vari-Mu tube compression with musical tone shaping

Blend warmth, clarity, and mix-bus glue with LA Crème’s all-tube Vari-Mu design and flexible 4-band EQ. From subtle smoothing to rich harmonic enhancement, it brings expressive, analog-style control to vocals, full mixes, and more.

All-tube Vari-Mu compression

Control your dynamics with input-driven gain reduction, ratio, attack, and recovery settings that respond like modern tube hardware. Push the input for more harmonic weight and movement, then use output trim to balance your levels.

4-band parametric EQ

Refine your tone with a fully parametric 4-band EQ offering wide or narrow boosts and cuts. Perfect for sweetening vocals, shaping midrange presence, or balancing bus elements with musical precision.

2-band stereo widener

Expand or collapse stereo width with independent low and high-frequency controls. Keep your low end tight and centered while giving your highs more space and dimension.

Ultra-X mode for high-resolution processing

Enable Ultra-X mode to process audio at ultra-high sample rates using Tone Empire’s NM2 neural technology. Get cleaner highs, reduced aliasing, and pristine analog-style detail, even at extreme settings.
