Latest Gear Releases

Avid VenuePack 4

Avid VenuePack 4 will come bundled with all Venue digital console systems, offering recreations of popular vintage hardware to the latest studio processing effects in 30 plug-ins from Avid and third-party partners.

Avid Venue D-ShowVenuePack 4 plug-ins run natively on all Venue systems. ‘Venue’s integrated plug-in system eliminates the need for external outboard gear or plug-in runners, giving the user unprecedented creative choice,’ says Avid Product Manager, Greg Kopchinski. ‘VenuePack 4 provides a unified set of popular plug-ins for live sound, making it easier than ever for engineers to move between Venue consoles and use the great-sounding, low-latency effects they’ve come to appreciate.’

In addition to the suite of plug-ins, VenuePack 4 includes the Flux:: Pure Analyzer Essential software application, a modular RTA system that provides mix engineers with an extensive range of live audio analysis and measurement tools when installed on a Mac or Windows laptop. Pure Analyzer can also use the Flux SampleGrabber plug-in to support direct signal acquisition across an Ethernet network from Venue system monitor and mix buses.
