Access Analog gives musicians and recording engineers real time access to professional analog audio outboard gear over a standard internet connection. Audio streams from the Analog Matrix plugin across the internet, through the analog hardware, and returns to the plugin in real time. Robotics are employed on the face of the equipment to give the user real time control of the device using the plugin interface. Access Analog provides the full functionality of the most desired professional audio hardware in the industry at a fraction of the cost, while adding the benefits of full recall, presets, automation, and mobility that until now have only been available in software plugins. The Analog Matrix plugin remotely controls the physical knobs, buttons, and switches on the audio hardware. Robotics are attached to each control and precisely track changes made in the plugin user interface, as well as all control automation created within the host audio application. Meters and indicators are precisely tracked on the device and displayed in the plugin interface exactly at it exists on the hardware, in sync with the audio. Users can build multiple analog devices in series to create amazing analog chains and save all devices and controls as presets for instant recall. For the first time ever, musicians and engineers can process audio in real time using robotically controlled analog hardware in the cloud. The Analog Matrix works as a plugin inside all major digital audio workstations.
