• Pre-amp warms and enhances the signal with colourful saturation via a customisable frequency response.
• EQ offers characterful spectral shaping with a choice of analogue circuitry.
• Compressor makes quick work of dynamics duties and contains an innovative Auto Makeup control.
• Modulation imparts the movement and life of warped records and tape speed variations.
• Wear adds the charm and imperfections of old-school playback, introducing the noise, artefacts and unpredictable nature of tape, vinyl and cassette.

Enhance Warmth

The crucial first stage in a recorded signal’s journey, a preamp adds gain but can also impart warmth, drive and excitation.

Console’s pre-amp combines this classic preamp workflow with the customisability of the digital realm, letting you shape the frequency response curve of your circuit’s character to perfectly suit the instrument you’re working with.

 

Shape Tonal Balance

Sculpting the frequency range of your audio is essential both for shaping the tonal balance of each channel and for allowing each element its own place in a mix.

 

Colourful Dynamic Control With Excite Audio Lifeline Console Lite

Right from the early days of the studio, compressors and been essential to the sound of music. Today, compression is used more than ever before, and in many more applications.

Lifeline Console’s compressor module puts characterful dynamics control at the forefront and lets you choose between three compression types to suit a variety of sources and uses.

 

Nostalgic Pitch Warping

In analogue audio formats, playback speed isn’t always perfectly consistent, and replicating this effect can lend a warm, nostalgic feel to lifeless digital audio.

The Modulation section brings back the magic of pitch variations as experienced with Tape, Vinyl and Cassette, reintroducing the sound-warping character of these media, but with precise control over their properties.

 

Creative Textural Layers

The signal degradation and pitch variation caused by vintage equipment are usually connected and dictated by the physical format. Lifeline Console instead allows you to mix the Wow and Flutter from one format with physical wear from another.

Use noise, hum, artefacts and dropouts to shape a sound’s tone and feel. Add life, realism or even a lo-fi texture to a mix, and use these factors creatively as part of your sound design and production workflow.

 

Blend Vintage Circuitry

Find your ideal console to work on for each session with the Triangle Pad, which houses both Clean and Vintage emulations of mixing desk circuitry, allowing you to find the perfect blend between the two and your dry signal.

The Warm knob enhances the low frequencies of an entire mix, helping to glue the bottom end together. The Shine knob achieves a high-end sparkle that’s perfect as a final stage of sheen to give your track an extra edge.
