United Plugins Quick AG: perfect acoustic guitar sound.
Getting acoustic strings to sound right while recording can be difficult, according to the developers of the new plug-in Quick AG. Selecting and placing microphones, adjusting EQ and compression, setting levels ... Quick AG is a plug-in that provides you with a versatile set of tools for mixing acoustic instruments such as guitar, ukulele and mandolin.
At first glance, the plugin looks pretty cluttered. But upon closer inspection, the color interface turns out to be laid out quite logically. So navigating through the various sections will probably be quick, unless you're new to music production.
First in the chain is a variable compressor that simulates FET, Vari-Mu and Clean style compression. This is followed by a guitar-optimized EQ with Low-Cut, Body, De-harsh and Spark controls so you don't have to look for the frequencies you want. Next comes the "Xtra" processor with Transient, Doubler and Width controls that add a nice touch of presence, weight and width to the instrument. Finally, a three-way reverb (Plate, Hall, Room) with Dry / Wet and Length controls helps complete the ambience sound.
Placed in this way, the plugin is available to both novice sound engineers and those with a little more experience. No doubt experienced mixing engineers already have proven signal chains set up in their DAW, and this type of plugin is probably unnecessary. But for beginners, there are presets for various tools that developers consider the “ideal” settings.
Overall, the concept is interesting and detailed, as well as a realistic user interface. This plugin simplifies a lot of things that are difficult to say about most typical studio effects. Adding a bit of analog color, enlivening a dry acoustic track, brightening up the guitar with old strings, there are many uses here if you want to quickly improve your acoustic performance.

Bass is generally considered to be the coolest of all instruments. Mostly bass players. Recorded with good DI, great bass often sounds perfect when played and requires only a little push here and there. That's why we came up with QuckBass. To give you fast EQ, fast compression, fast saturation and fat in no time. QuickBass is the ultimate bass polisher and finalizer.
Using multiple plugins to achieve the same goal just doesn't make sense. You may encounter unwanted interactions between plugins, and their extra functions (unnecessary to work) can drain your processor. So we decided to pack all the instruments you need to get the perfect bass sound in one box with as few controls as possible to find the sweet spot between speed and versatility.
No matter what technique you play, Quick bass adapts to it. Equalizer has internal presets to provide the best sound for finger or pick styles and funk slap techniques. The Millerize button makes it slap-ready with a tailored approach to your mids. While most of the curve is preset, you still have a few EQ controls for fine tuning. But it is recommended to start from zero positions.
An excellent compressor is needed. It also refers to dynamics and colors. QuickBass lets you mix Vari-mu, Opto and FET compressor types to give the bass the character you want. How hard you want to squeeze is up to you.
Is the bass too thin? This is a common problem with bass. QuickBass solves this problem with a unique single handle doubler. And it can also generate sub-bass to give you the nice bold low end that every song needs. This bass makes the crowd dance!
There is no pleasure without satiety. QuickBass treats this section with care. Its parallel saturator can provide anything between just a tiny bit of analogue feel and the heavy bass distortion that only a tube amp could do (before QuickBass, of course).
