Here's how it works

Your mix is balanced.
Every part sits where it should.
And still, it sounds like a mix, not a record.

The engineers behind the records you love close that gap in the same place: the master bus.
A little EQ to open the top and firm up the lows, a few dB of compression to pull everything together. The same move that lets you hear, while you’re still mixing, how the track will sit once it’s mastered.
The Creme is built for exactly that moment: a passive Pultec-style EQ and a high-end bus compressor in one device.

But where compression usually dulls the top end, the Creme keeps it silky and brilliant.
The mix gains shine and glue at once, and your tracks stop sounding worked-on.
They start sounding finished.

And once a mix is finished, the Creme RC keeps it.
Every control sits on a servomotor, so the exact settings that finished one record are back in place the moment you open the next session.

Two legends. One box.

On their own, a Pultec-style passive EQ and an SSL-style bus compressor are two separate boxes, a classic finishing pair.
The Creme puts both in one.

Switch the order.

EQ before the compressor, or compressor before the EQ: the placement is switchable, so you decide what shapes what.

At home on the master, too.

Built for the mix bus, the Creme is just as suited to mastering.

On the mix bus, the Creme’s VCA compressor does what made the SSL-style bus compressor a standard: it pulls the separate parts into one cohesive whole.

Its characteristic, powerful sound can take every mix to the next level.

No lost top. It brightens.

Where compression usually costs you the high end, the Creme doesn’t.

The often lamentable loss of high notes simply doesn’t happen here. Instead, the signal sounds as if it had already been fed through an exciter.

The compressor can work hard and still give your mix a more open, brilliant sound.

Push it hard, it stays clean.

The compression is harmonic in nature.

The sound always stays transparent, and every instrument keeps its own place in the mix.

Passive equalizers, with their elaborate circuits of coils and capacitors, are still among the most popular sound shapers for mastering.

We took the filter circuitry of the original Pultec, the same that made our Classic Equalizer a high-performance sound machine, and carefully reworked it for the mix bus.

No other type of EQ sounds this good across almost any setting.

Every control on the Creme RC sits on a servomotor.
The signal path stays fully analog, exactly as the Creme has always been. What changes is everything around it.

Recall in seconds, not by hand.

Open your project, and the Creme RC plugin turns every knob back to where you left it.
No front-panel photos, no scribbled notes, no rebuilding a setting by ear. The analog chain that finished your mix is simply there again.

Automate it like a plugin.

Ride a parameter across the arrangement, draw it in, let it move with the song.
The Creme RC takes automation the way any plugin would, while the audio stays on real analog circuitry.

Three ways to drive it.

Reach for the front panel, open the built-in web server in any browser, or run the DAW plugin (AU, AAX, VST).
Whatever fits your workflow.

Connected over Ethernet.

The Creme RC talks to your computer over Ethernet, so cable length is no longer the limit it is with USB.
Prefer it wireless? Through your router, that works too.
