Mixland just released a brand new preamp plugin called 280 PRE. This digital tool helps musicians add raw, untamed tones from a famous vintage preamp to their recordings. You can drive the input hard for warm musical saturation, making any track sound deeper and more interesting. The plugin comes with special controls that add realistic aging effects and component drift.
The DRIFT control makes subtle changes to harmonic overtones, creating natural variations in your sound. When you turn up the AGE knob, the plugin gradually cuts high frequencies and changes harmonic patterns, just like real hardware does as it grows older. These features help create that genuine vintage vibe many producers love.
The 280 PRE includes smart controls for easy tone shaping. A MIX knob lets you blend the processed signal with your original audio. The AUTOGAIN feature links input and output levels together, making it super easy to dial in the right amount of drive without volume jumps. You can even activate 2x Stack mode, which runs your audio through two copies of the preamp for extra rich harmonics.
This plugin works with macOS and Windows computers in VST3, AU, and AAX formats. Mixland sells it at a special intro price of $49, but it will later cost $79. The 280 PRE includes multiple oversampling options at 2x, 4x, 8x, and 16x rates, letting you pick the best balance between sound quality and computer performance depending on your needs.
