Pulsar Audio - W495 Free (limited time)

[Niky Serrano]

An accurate emulation of the Neumann w495 3-band EQ

Neumann w495 EQ’s were used to master 90% of the vinyl records manufactured from the 1970s to the 1990s. But even after this golden age, many mastering engineers still love this EQ. Why? Because the w495 has wide equalization curves that can be pushed to ridiculous levels while remaining musical. The w495 is an easy-to-use tone shaper for individual tracks. But It can also enhance presence and depth of an entire mix.

But we’ve taken Pulsar W495 even further, adding all the key features you would expect from a modern EQ plugin, including visual curve editing for a fast workflow. From channel EQ to mastering EQ, Pulsar w495 is an easy-to-use powerful tone shaper, faithfully emulated from an iconic 3 band EQ.

I agree.
I really like the plugins they make.

[Bapu]

Installed!

[LittleStudios]

I can't seem to get it to activate.  I have an ilok account if that's needed but the only activation key I have is this  "W495 (Free)".

[Cookie Jarvis]

The key is a string of numbers...look in your account or at the bottom of your invoice

I need to learn to be a bit more patient.  It just needed a few minutes to populate in my account.

Good to know!  PB is actually a good one-stop-shop to download any future updates, when needed.

Thanks indeed, but know that you cannot (yet) add the serial to your Pulsar account.

I think this will work the same way they did it when Pulsar's Smasher was free. You just get the checkout link to the Pulsar site with the coupon code already added.

So really the only difference is that you can also download the updated versions of the plugin through PB, as Lionel said.

Didn’t work from VSTBuzz. I got an iLok serial that couldn’t be added to my Pilsar account. Same here, I’m afraid.

Yes you are right, just tested it. They changed that, you now get the iLok license key through PB.

Indeed, that’s how I got Smasher from VSTBuzz  three years ago. So they’re taking a long time to solve this at Pulsar…

The GUI looks so sweet. I feel the urge to lick my monitor screen

I only install free plugins from company's I plan to buy plugins from and I've not found any interesting plugins from Pulsar Audio.

@El Diablo They get good reviews, but are typically too $$ for me.   However, I picked up Echorec on sale a couple of years ago and love it.  I use it all the time.

How much for the sale you bought and I'll keep my eyes open.

I think it was $39 at VST Buzz (not sure) but I've seen it for $29 since. The Music Software Deals site will tell all... ?
