PSP VintageWarmer2

Morphing bytes into emotions!

PSP VintageWarmer2 is a high-quality digital simulation of an analog-style single or multi-band compressor/limiter. It combines rich, warm analog processing with a straightforward user interface, and comes with a comprehensive library of presets.

PSP VintageWarmer2 is highly flexible and can be used for both soft-knee compression and brick-wall limiting. This makes it an essential tool for mixing and mastering engineers.

Careful attention has been paid to PSP VintageWarmer's overload characteristics with the algorithm being capable of generating saturation effects typical of analog tape recorders. PSP VintageWarmer also incorporates professional VU and PPM metering together with accurate overload indicators thereby ensuring professional quality results.

30-day trial for macOS 30-day trial for Windows

PSP VintageWarmer2 version installer contains 3 versions of the plug-in:

  • PSP MicroWarmer: Providing the same sound quality as it's siblings, but with a simplified single-band interface and low latency performance optimized for use on individual tracks.

  • PSP VintageWarmer (LE): A direct descendant of the original PSP VintageWarmer, with its all strengths such as low resource usage and latency.

  • PSP VintageWarmer2: Which includes our acclaimed FAT double sampling mode for even more accurate analog sounding processing.

We strongly recommend that you use PSP VintageWarmer (LE) or PSP MicroWarmer in multi-tracking applications, except in situations where FAT mode is important. PSP VintageWarmer2 is recommended for use in mastering sessions or when processing groups or master busses.

    I would be telling an untruth if I said everyday but most days PSP VintageWarmer is used :D ... It’s an incredible plugin that does what others can’t and it’s been that way for many years!

    PSP VintageWarmer2 allows me to mix in the box. I use it on individual tracks or across the entire mix and I’m always blown away by the results.

  • Len Sasso

    PSP VintageWarmer is effective and easy to use. I was always able to find a factory preset that came close to the sound I was reaching for, and it was easy to tweak the rest of the way. I quickly became addicted to it for punching up tracks and finalizing a mix.
