Nembrini Audio's Acoustic Voice Pro plugin is a game-changer for acoustic guitar recording. It's designed to tackle the common issue of thin, harsh, and unnatural tones produced by Piezo and Magnetic pickups. The plugin's core function is to restore the natural resonance of a guitar's sound, giving it the body and spatial depth of a professionally recorded, studio-quality acoustic performance.
The latest upgrade is a significant step forward, expanding the guitar emulations library from six to ten. This includes a diverse range of tones, each with its own unique character. From the vintage small-body tone of the Martin 1936 0-17 to the resonant hollow-neck character of the Weissenborn, the plugin covers a wide spectrum of guitar sounds. The addition of the Martin 0028Ec's balanced fingerstyle voice, the Martin HD-28V's depth and projection, and the punchy vintage of the Gibson L-00 further enhances its versatility.
The plugin also includes the jumbo style presence of the Landola J80E, the strong strumming response of the Guild D140CE, the natural modern tone of the Ayers DSR, the polished Hi-Fi clarity of the Taylor 814ce Deluxe, and the articulate, refined warmth of the Taylor Grand Theatre K21e. This diverse library ensures that Acoustic Voice Pro can cater to a wide range of musical genres and tastes.
On the microphone side, the plugin has also been upgraded with five microphone emulations, bringing in richer, more realistic tones. These include the clear and detailed Audix ADX51, the tight-focused Beyerdynamic M210, the punchy Shure SM57, the controlled, natural Electro-Voice RE20, and the open, polished AKG C414. This expansion in microphone options further enhances the plugin's versatility and realism.
The upgrade also includes a built-in IR Loader with third-party IR support, dedicated dynamics and tone-shaping tools, and an enhanced studio effects system. These additions provide users with a comprehensive set of tools to fine-tune their acoustic guitar recordings, ensuring they sound as close to the real thing as possible.
In my opinion, Nembrini Audio's Acoustic Voice Pro is a must-have for any guitarist or producer looking to enhance their acoustic guitar recordings. Its ability to restore the natural resonance of a guitar's sound and its diverse range of tones make it a versatile and powerful tool. The plugin's cost-effectiveness and ease of use further make it an attractive option for professionals and hobbyists alike. I highly recommend giving it a try!
