Manufacturer: KEY TO SOUND Platform: Hybrid Includes both a Mac and Windows version of the program.

The Production Pack is a collection of four studio quality audio mastering plug-ins available in AU/RTAS/VST formats, 64-bit, universal binary and compatible with Windows Vista!  
 
"In the various studios I work I've used most of the high end plugins including McDSP and Waves, in both RTAS and VST versions. When I first heard about KeyToSound's Production Pack, I thought it was another generic Compressor and EQ. What a surprise to me when I put Vintage EQ on Tim Hockenberry's vocals for the final song on his debut album (on About/AG/Universal Records). Wow! The Essential Compressor can compete easily with a vintage LA-2A or any of other software plugins. I'd put this compressor in a class by itself, it's analog and precise and sounds like a tube circuit. Very useful for vocals, guitars, drums...just about anything. There is no other compressor like it on the market. The Production Pack is a great set of tools for any engineer. Great stuff!"

The Production Pack’s four audio plug-ins are the Dynamic EQ, the Essential Compressor, the Precision EQ, and the Vintage EQ.  
 
The Dynamic EQ  
 
The Dynamic EQ is a 64 bit, zero latency signal processor that combines the functions of a compressor with the results of an equalizer. The combination of these features gives the Dynamic EQ an advantage over "static" equalizers in that it can respond in real time to signal input, applying equalization when it is needed, rather than all the time.  
 
Features:  
- 4 bands with solo feature and individual metering  
- Threshold, ratio, attack, and release settings per band  
- Frequency, bandwidth, and gain settings per band  
- Global metering  
- +12db gain output  
- A/B setting switching  
- MIDI CC learn  
 
The Essential Compressor  
 
The Essential Compressor is an extremely versatile and transparent compressor, designed for the discerning engineer who does not want any coloration or character added to the signal. The Essential Compressor lends itself perfectly for instruments ranging from classical instruments to rock bass and drums.  
 
Features:  
- 64 bit  
- Responsive VU level indicator for input and output signal  
- A/B preset switching capable of automated setting changes  
- MIDI CC learn  
- +/- 24db headroom  
 
The Precision EQ  
 
The Precision EQ is your next go to EQ for precise equalization. Featuring a FFT representation of either the input or output signal, you can see your equalization results, even if your ears deceive you.  
 
Featuring:  
- 64 bit precision  
- 7 bands with Gain, Frequency, and "Q" settings  
- 7 different filter types per band  
- Graphical drag and drop curve setting  
- Global output metering  
 
The Vintage EQ  
 
The Vintage EQ gets its name from the warmth and character you hear when passing a signal through this EQ. Any seasoned mastering or recording engineer will know that when using a digital EQ, such as the Precision EQ, the frequency response approaches 0dB as the signal frequency approaches the Nyquist frequency. The Vintage EQ does the opposite.  
 
A very important element to this powerful EQ is that unlike its competitors, the Vintage EQ does not use oversampling, since that would require downsampling and pre-filtering (to avoid aliasing) which in turn would ruin the sound.  
 
The Vintage EQ features:  
 
- FFT display of incoming and outgoing signal - 64 bit precision  
- 7 bands with Gain, Frequency, and "Q" settings  
- 7 different filter types per band  
- Graphical drag and drop curve setting  
- Global output metering
