Your analog studio in the cloud

“The idea of being able to access the highest quality analog hardware via the internet from anywhere in the world is a brilliant idea, and I'm excited that it is now part of my workflow.”

Neil Dorfsman - Producer, Engineer, Mixer(Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Dire Straits)

"The robotic technology being used by Access Analog is unbelievable! This may be the future of analog processing."

Pete Lyman - Mastering Engineer(Chris Stapleton, Tom Waits, Brandi Carlile, Weezer)

“So… I can process audio in real time through real live super-rare vintage analog gear. I was skeptical, but honestly it’s incredible. I forgot how good this stuff sounds - I’m regretting giving it up, a little bit! Real gear, unreal tone, driven by ROBOTS, from a plugin in my DAW - what’s not to like? Mystery Science Audio 3000! It’s crazy."

F. Reid Shippen - Mix Engineer(Kenny Chesney, Ingrid Michaelson, Dierks Bentley, Cage The Elephant)

“The opportunity that Access Analog provides engineers and creators is incredible. Their selection of great analog hardware available in the cloud environment provides affordable and extended access that fits many different production needs. I’ve been a fan of this platform since day one.”

Jacquire King - Producer/Mix Engineer (Kings of Leon, Tom Waits, Modest Mouse)

Your Personal Robot Army!

We designed and built robotics that give you real time control of the equipment. When you control a knob in the plugin, robotics change the physical knob at our rack in the cloud.

The Analog Matrix Plugin

Introducing a new modern workflow with real analog processing. Use the Analog Matrix plugin to stream audio in real time to our rack of professional equipment. No emulations allowed.

Gearhead? We Got You Covered.

Universal Audio, SSL, API, Pultec, AMS Neve, and more now available. Directions: (1) insert plugin. (2) connect.

“This is new, revolutionary technology ... we now have the ability to use chains of the best analog hardware, anywhere in the world, with full recall. Ridiculously cool.”

Brian Lucey - Mastering Engineer(Depeche Mode, The Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys, Liam Gallagher)

“Amazing service, especially in the time of remote recording! Now musicians and collaborators that are contributing stems to me can process their tracks with real analog processing in the cloud, using presets that I created."

Kevin Teasley - Music Director, Composer, Producer, Sound Designer(Jennifer Lopez, SuperBowl LIV, Coi Leray, Chris Brown, TONIC)

"The ability to stream audio from my session to real analog gear, and in real time listen and control that gear through using robotics, is game changing for my productions and mixing workflow. I think it’s game-changing for anyone wanting the Real Sound of analog in their productions!”

Daniel Scott(Great Wide Divide, secondsAFTER Music & Media)

“Arguably, they’ve made it easier to use an 1176 on the other side of the globe than to patch one in at home!”

How It Works

REAL TIME AUDIO STREAMING

Access Analog gives musicians and recording engineers real time access to professional analog audio hardware 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.*

Access Analog provides the full functionality of the most desired professional audio hardware in the industry while adding the benefits of full recall, presets, automation, and mobility that until now have only been available in software plugins.

ROBOTICALLY CONTROLLED HARDWARE

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 and displayed in the plugin interface exactly at it exists on the hardware, in sync with the audio. All of our robotics are attached to the external surface of the unit. The hardware enclosure is never opened and remains in original condition.

THE ANALOG MATRIX PLUGIN

Use the Analog Matrix plugin to build your ultimate hardware signal chain by connecting as many pieces of equipment as you need in any order you like. Add, remove, and reorder hardware units in the chain in real time while listening to the effect on the audio. The system will intelligently route the audio seamlessly.

When you have decided on your desired settings, record the processed audio as it streams from the hardware to your recording software. You can capture processed audio from the Analog Matrix plugin in real time or choose offline rendering.
