Focusrite Red 2 And Red 3 Plug-ins Are Back For Pro Tools AAX - For Many Users They Are Free
Here’s a secret we’ve had under wraps for a few weeks. Focusrite have re-released the Red 2 and Red 3 plug-ins in AAX format for the latest versions of Pro Tools - even better is that for many users they are free.
These are the first Focusrite plug-ins to include AAX support, making them compatible with Pro Tools® 10 and above. With its introduction, the Red 2 & Red 3 Plug-in Suite is bundled free with all Focusrite Scarlett, Saffire, Forte, and Clarett audio interfaces. The plug-in suite will also retail separately for $299.99.
The new plug-ins are accurate models of Focusrite’s classic Red 2 equalizer and Red 3 compressor hardware. Coveted by producers and engineers for their exceptional clarity and versatility, the original units are prized fixtures in professional recording studios the world over. Now, the Red 2 & Red 3 Plug-in Suite lets you exploit the famous natural sound of the originals, conveniently from within your audio software.
The plug-ins faithfully reproduce the sonic qualities of the hardware. The Red 2 EQ is a sweet sounding 6-band design, with high/low pass filters, high/low frequency shelves, as well as fully parametric low-mid and high-mid frequency bands. The Red 3 compressor is a VCA compressor design, excellent for natural sounding dynamic control of drums, bass, vocals, and acoustic instruments.
