Lemur Audio SAMUEL v1.0.21

Software Overview

---

Lemur Audio SAMUEL integrates essential channel-strip processing tools into one interface, allowing users to shape tone, control dynamics, add harmonic saturation, and monitor their audio signal. Its four-band equalizer includes two shelving bands and two bell bands, each with adjustable gain, while dedicated filters provide additional control over unwanted frequencies.
The preamp section offers MIC and LINE voicings, adding different types of harmonic character. A configurable gate helps control noise and unwanted signal, while the compressor section provides feedback and feed-forward models for different processing needs.
SAMUEL also includes several visual monitoring modes, stereo and mono operation, adjustable input and output levels, preset management, and session-specific quality settings. Its default zero-latency operation makes it suitable for use across individual tracks and live inputs.
Key Features

---

• Four-Band Equalizer: Two shelving bands and two bell bands provide flexible tonal shaping, with gain adjustment up to ±17 dB.
• Flexible Frequency Ranges: LF covers 30-450 Hz, HF covers 1.5-16 kHz, LMF covers 200 Hz-2.5 kHz, and HMF covers 600 Hz-7 kHz.
• Adjustable Bell Q: Set the Q of the mid-frequency bands from 0.5 to 3 for precise tonal control.
• High-Pass and Low-Pass Filters: Control low- and high-frequency content with adjustable cutoff ranges and dedicated activation indicators.
• EQ Bypass: Remove the entire equalizer section, including its filters, from the signal path for quick comparisons.
• Preamp Saturation: Choose MIC or LINE voicing and adjust drive from −12 to +24 dB to introduce different harmonic characteristics.
• Oversampled Saturation: Oversampling helps reduce unwanted aliasing when generating harmonics.
• Console-Style Gate: Adjust threshold, attenuation range, release, attack speed, and hysteresis to control unwanted noise and signal decay.
• Two Compressor Models: Choose between a feedback compressor and the CHANNEL feed-forward model.
• Comprehensive Compressor Controls: Adjust release, attack behavior, sidechain filtering, stereo linking, and parallel compression mix.
• Flexible Signal Routing: Change the compressor and EQ order or route the equalizer into the compressor sidechain for frequency-dependent dynamics processing.
• MASTER Display: Monitor input and output levels, peak readings, and processing behavior through dedicated visual displays.
• Five Monitoring Views: Select SAT, GATE, COMP, EQ, or FFT to inspect saturation harmonics, gate activity, compression, equalization, or output spectrum.
• Stereo and Mono Modes: Select the processing mode according to the requirements of your session.
• Zero-Latency Operation: The default processing mode is designed for zero-latency use on tracks and live inputs.
• HQ and ULTRA Quality Modes: Select higher-quality processing separately for real-time playback and rendering, with reported latency for host compensation.
• Input and Output Trim: Adjust input and output levels by ±24 dB.
• Session and Preset Management: Save settings with sessions, browse presets, compare A/B settings, and use undo and redo.
• Resizable Interface: Resize the plugin window to suit your workflow.

Why Choose Lemur Audio SAMUEL

---

Lemur Audio SAMUEL offers a comprehensive channel-strip workflow without requiring separate plugins for equalization, filtering, saturation, gating, and compression. Its flexible signal routing and monitoring options make it useful for detailed mix decisions, while the MIC and LINE preamp modes provide additional tonal possibilities.
For users who need low-latency processing during tracking or live input, the default operating mode is designed to respond like a channel on an analog console. Higher-quality HQ and ULTRA modes are available for demanding mixdown and rendering tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

---

What is Lemur Audio SAMUEL?

---

SAMUEL is an audio channel-strip plugin combining equalization, filters, preamp saturation, a gate, and compression in one interface.
Can I use SAMUEL while recording?

---

Its default mode is designed for zero-latency processing, making it suitable for live inputs and individual tracks. Higher-quality modes introduce a small amount of reported latency.
What is the difference between MIC and LINE modes?

---

LINE mode emphasizes warmth in the low frequencies while keeping the top end clean. MIC mode provides a broader, brighter tonal character.
Can I change the order of the compressor and equalizer?

---

Yes. The C→EQ control swaps their order. SC INT can also route the equalizer into the compressor sidechain instead of the main audio path.
What do the five display modes show?

---

SAT displays preamp harmonics, GATE shows input and output relative to the gate threshold, COMP displays compression, EQ shows the equalizer curve, and FFT displays the output spectrum.
Does SAMUEL support presets?

---

Yes. It includes a preset browser, A/B comparison, copy controls, and Save and Save As options.
