Rupert Neve Designs Portico Compressor Plug-in

Steinberg RND Portico 5043 is a high-end compressor plug-in that brings the legendary Neve sound to the world of digital music production. Incorporating Yamaha’s VCM technology, Rupert Neve Designs Portico 5043 plug-in exactly reproduces the analog punch, warmth and clarity of the hardware original.

Following the hardware equivalent, the Portico 5043 houses five essential parameters: Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release and Gain. A minimalistic approach, that allows to focus purely on the sound that needs to be processed. Thanks to VCM technology, the depth and sonic character of Rupert Neve’s analog sound is directly transformed into the digital recording environment, without the need to deal with dozens of parameters to get that signature sound. The Portico 5043 features two working modes: Feed-Forward and Feed-Back compression. These modes provide two entirely different compression characteristics to choose from. While the Feed-Back mode is more musical and sweeter, the Feed-Forward mode works with even greater accuracy.The compressor also includes two virtual LED metering displays, showing the level of the input signal as well as the amount of gain reduction. Another virtual signal LED shows whether a signal is currently processed or not.

The RND Portico 5043 is available in VST 3, VST 2.4 and AU plug-in format, allowing for multi-instance use with digital audio workstations such as Cubase, Nuendo, WaveLab and Logic.
