TAL DAC Bit Crusher

TAL-DAC is based on the TAL-Sampler sound engine and faithfully emulates the unique sound of vintage digital-to-analog converters, widely known for their distinct sonic characteristics. These converters were key to the sound of early digital samplers, adding warmth, color, and character to digital recordings. TAL-DAC accurately reproduces the subtle imperfections, harmonics, and nonlinearities that give digital audio a warm, vintage vibe. The plugin can be used for both subtle sound alterations and extreme sonic manipulations, making it versatile for a variety of production needs.

Incorporating a range of customizable settings such as variable sample rates and bit-depth algorithms, TAL-DAC brings the distinct color and sound of the 80s right to your DAW. It also includes modern enhancements like a soft clipper and AMP drive to add even more harmonic richness.

Key Features:

• Recording Stage with Input Volume Control: Includes a soft clipper that adds odd harmonics to the signal.
• Variable Recording Sample Rate: Adjustable from 500 Hz to 48,000 Hz for diverse sound shaping.
• Variable Recording Bit-Depth: Offers a range from 4-bit to 16-bit with multiple algorithms such as mu-law, mu-law delta, and linear.
• Reconstruction Section: Includes several reconstruction methods such as hold, variable, linear, and S1000/sinc.
• Steep Reconstruction Filters: Optional steep reconstruction filters are available.
• AMP Drive: Adds both even and odd harmonics to the signal for rich harmonic distortion.
• High- and Low-Shelf Filter: Includes a 12 dB high and low shelf filter for flexible EQ adjustments.
• Optional 8x Oversampling: Ensures high-quality processing for non-linear components like the AMP and input clipper.
