FROM REDWOOD USERS
“Redwood sounds like a hardware rack. Beautiful, warm analog sound.”
“My favorite plugin of all time. Thank you for making it.”
ONE RACK / THREE PERSPECTIVES
Use one stage for a finishing touch.
Let all three work together for a new character.
Bring the magnetic density and harmonic color of analog tape into your mix. Add body to a vocal, weight to a bass, or a finishing layer that brings the parts together.
Tape modeling responds to how hard you drive it. Shape the Texture and Weight, then blend from a restrained touch to a more driven finish.
MAGNETIC TAPE MODELING / WARMTH, BODY, CHARACTER
Inspired by classic passive hardware equalizers, Redwood brings broad, musical curves to your tracks. Give bass more authority and vocals more air, without letting thickness or a sharp top end take over.
Boost and attenuate the lows together to shape weight with definition. Independent high boost and cut let you lift the top, then soften its edge.
VINTAGE PASSIVE TONE SHAPING / BODY AND AIR
Variable tube compression inspired by classic hardware brings glue, density and life to your tracks. Let the first hit punch through, bring the room forward between hits, or gently connect a whole mix.
Program-dependent compression responds to your music. Choose a style, shape the attack and recovery, then blend in energy while keeping the original impact.
VARIABLE TUBE CHARACTER / FROM GLUE TO GROOVE
Balanced control for tracks and buses.
Smooth glue with a lighter touch of color.
Expressive breathing and movement for drums and buses.
Rich tube density with a slow, smooth recovery. Best for vocals and sustained sounds.
SIX SIGNAL ORDERS
Drag the stages in Redwood. The rack follows your signal path.
Each processor changes what the next one receives.
Set the tone entering compression, then bring in tape as the final layer.
Establish the dynamic movement before the final EQ lift and tape color.
Build a colored foundation, shape it, then control the combined result.
HEAR THE CHANGE
RMS Match gradually brings the processed average level closer to the input. Let it settle, then use Bypass to hear what the rack is really adding.
A listening aid—not a limiter or a loudness target.
CHOOSE YOUR FOCUS
Give the center more focus, color the stereo edges, or explore mid/side processing. One shared rack. One set of controls.

THE PRACTICAL DETAILS
A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
No. Each stage can be enabled independently and has its own Mix control. Start with one, or combine the rack.
No. Redwood shapes dynamic movement and recovery. It does not move notes or sync its release to the DAW tempo.
Redwood’s detailed analog modeling uses processing power to recreate the richness and behavior of hardware. Use Standard for everyday recording and mixing, and High for the best final sound when your system has the headroom.
Yes. Try the free 15-day demo.
No. Redwood uses one shared set of controls. Mid or Side modes focus processing on that component; M/S processes both through the shared rack.
