The Magic of Analog Summing, Reimagined in Series 5

The AnalogX Magic Big Bus Series 5 is a next-generation bus processing emulation that delivers the depth, warmth, and cohesion of a high-end analog summing chain. Designed to enhance mixes with lush harmonic saturation, subtle compression, and rich analog coloration, this emulation transforms digital productions with an unmistakable big-console feel.

Captured at 96kHz, the Magic Big Bus brings the sonic magic of a renowned analog summing and processing chain into the Genesis platform. Whether you're gluing a mix together, shaping dynamics, or adding vintage-inspired warmth, this pack delivers authentic analog tone with modern flexibility.

Included Emulation

• Magic Big Bus –Brian Lucy Settings - Captures the smooth, polished sound of a legendary mix engineer with his standard mix bus processing chain setup, adding depth, harmonic richness, and mix cohesion.

Devices in the Chain

The Magic Big Bus emulation is based on a meticulously curated analog processing chain, capturing the character and tonal interaction of multiple high-end studio devices:

• Precision Digital-to-Analog Conversion – A high-end D/A stage ensures transient-rich and punchy conversion, retaining the full dynamic impact of your mix.
• Custom Transformer-Based Harmonic Saturation – Modelled after a stereo FET-driven coloration unit, this stage adds transformer depth and FET-style transient shaping, similar to a matched pair of 1176s but with a cleaner low-end response.
• Modified Solid-State Equalization – A custom-modified EQ circuit introduces clean tone shaping and high-pass filtering, with high-end op-amps replacing traditional ICs for pristine frequency response.
• Class A VCA Compression in Stereo & M/S – A highly versatile VCA compressor provides SSL-style dynamics control, offering both stereo bus compression and mid/side processing to refine the depth and movement of your mix.
• Exquisite Tube-Based Boost EQ – A boutique mastering EQ featuring hand-selected NOS tubes, ensuring smooth, musical high-end lift and impeccable phase response.
• Mastering-Grade Analog-to-Digital Conversion – An industry-standard AD stage renowned for its $24,000 price tag and unrivalled accuracy, bringing mixes back into the digital domain with unparalleled detail.
• Midrange Enhancement Limiting – A carefully calibrated brick-wall limiter, subtly reducing peaks while enhancing the midrange presence for added clarity.
• Harmonic Excitation & Digital Waveform Enhancement – A final-stage harmonic processor, allowing for subtle-to-heavy coloration via adjustable harmonic enhancement controls.

Each stage in this chain has been carefully sampled and modelled to preserve its sonic signature, providing a unique blend of analog coloration, warmth, and modern precision.
