Introduction :
The snow VST is not just a single plugin. It is the combination of the different plugins that do various tasks. This plugin bundle is the emulation of British-type hardware. This bundle consists of an EQ plugin. Besides EQ, it comprises the Channel Strip, Compressor, and Buss Compressor. This plugin bundle uses impulse response sample technology and Artificial intelligence to replicate the sound of old analog studio gears.
Snow EQ:
As I mentioned above, Acustica Audio Snow is the bundle of the four plugins. One of them is snow EQ. The old studio gears inspire this EQ. This plugin processes the sound transparently. At the same time, it is the emulation of the old studio gears, so it can add analog characteristics. Other plugins in the market add these characteristics to the sound and processing. But this plugin has kept it optional as it has given the textural knob in the middle bottom of the interface. This plugin also provides a separate option for processing the input signal’s left side, right side, left mid-side, and right mid-side. Here is the visual representation of this plugin.
Snow Preamp :
Preamps plugins that are used to boost a weak signal. The Snow Preamp plugin is a collection of 52 British-type preamps. It also consists of three separate banks: line, mic, and custom. These three banks are the modes that make the plugin process the input signal in a particular way. Let me tell you about these banks.
Line Bank :
This mode is designed for sounds with higher output levels. These sounds include synths, processed drums, pianos, and vocals. As mentioned above, preamps boost the sound, but this bank is designed to add warmth, not loudness, because the input signal will already be loud if someone uses this bank.
Mic Bank :
As the name shows, this mode or bank is designed to capture the tiny details of the microphone recordings. This mode boosts those tiny details and adds a sense of depth to the recording.
Custom Bank:
Again, the function of this bank is also clear with its name. Everyone has a different approach to processing the sound. For example, some producers like the mic mode for their recordings, while others make Lofi, so they do not like that mode. In this way, Acoustic Audio has made a custom bank allowing the user to save his configuration for this preamp plugin according to these goals.

Snow Compressor :
Acustica Audio—Snow is a dual mono compressor. This compressor can add warmth and character to the mix.
Specific Features :
- Acustica Audio Snow Compressor dual mono compressor. Dual mono means this plugin allows the user to affect the left and right signals individually and collectively.
- This plugin has a texture circuit, which means you can add subtle warmth to super crunchy saturation in your sound.
- It is inspired by the two British-style emulations. One emulation is the CH1 (053), which gives the compression character of classic, warm, and musical.
- The second emulation is the CH2. This emulation was designed for various compression types, such as soft, hard, and crunchy. It also offers peak and RMS detection. It’s important to note that CH2 (I am talking about the actual hardware) has been discontinued.

Snow MB Plugin :
Snow MB is a mastering plugin designed to add the final touches to your master track. The plugin also provides a Snow MB mastering plugin, which can perform compression, limiting, stereo field control, and harmonic content manipulation. Here is a visual representation of this plugin.

Applications and use cases :
Let me tell you the applications and use cases of the Acustica Audio Snow plugin bundle.
Mixing :
This plugin bundle has all the necessary vests for mixing, so it can also be used for mixing. It can add warmth and depth to the sound and clear the mix.
Mastering :
This plugin bundle has four plugins: a compressor, a preamp plugin, an EQ plugin and the Snow master bus plugin. The compressor VST performs compression, and the preamp amplifies and adds warmth to the signal; you can boost or cut any frequency in the spectrum with the help of an EQ plugin. All these operations are necessary for mastering a song. On the other hand, this plugin bundle has a separate mastering dedicated plugin known as the Acustica Audio snow master bus plugin. This plugin is specifically designed for mastering. It has all the necessary features like compression, limiting, stereo field control, and harmonic content manipulation, which can be helpful in mastering. So, this plugin bundle can be used for mastering.
