Sage Audio SA1057 v1.0.4 macOS

Give your mixbus, drum bus, or even individual tracks a sound unlike any other with the SA1057 - the first and only plugin recreation of the unobtainable classic.
Unobtainable Analog Hardware, near 1:1 Recreation
The First and Only 1057 plugin
The 1057 may be the rarest, most expensive preamp & equalizer in existence - and for good reason!
Only 1 console with these preamps was ever shipped to the US (custom-made for Chicago Sound Studio in 1968).
The console's 16-channel strips were later purchased and racked by producer Michael Beinhorn in the 1990s, and used to record Soundgarden's 'Superunknown', Marilyn Manson's 'Mechanical Animals', Hole's 'Celebrity Skin', Ozzy Osbourne's 'Ozzmosis', and other classics.
Upon hearing the units for the first time, Beinhorn said he had "never heard such depth, dimension, or impact...as if the drums were jumping out of the speaker."
With a pair of early prototypes recently listed for over $60,000, and Beinhorn's original 16-units currently sitting at $170,000 at auction, these units are the pinnacle of vintage "unobtainium."
No plugin developer has even attempted to recreate these units in software form - until now!
The SA1057 is a near 1:1 recreation of the original unit.
Carefully recreated with Neural Amp Modeling (NAM)
Each line input gain setting utilizes a distinct neural model - maximizing versatility and ensuring the original unit is faithfully represented.
Meticulously Designed EQ Filters
Painstakingly Measured and Modeled
The SA1057 utilizes traditional DSP to recreate the shape, Q-value, range, and variability of the original unit's design.
Classic Sound, Modern Ammendities
A gain-compensated drive function opens up a huge range of sonic possibilities, while 2x oversampling ensures an accurate top-end, even when using aggressive settings.
A Mono mode reduces the neural models from 2 to 1, cutting the CPU in half when processing single-channel signals.
