Download 280 PRE by Mixland for windows and macOS In the digital realm of pristine clarity, something vital has been lost – that ineffable warmth and character that only genuine analog hardware can impart. MIXLAND’s 280 PRE captures the essence of coveted vintage germanium preamps, bringing their distinctive sonic fingerprint directly into your DAW with unprecedented authenticity.

Dial in Harmonic Richness The 280 PRE isn’t just another saturation plugin – it’s a meticulous recreation of the transformative magic that happens when pushing premium germanium components to their sweet spot. Drive the preamp to introduce rich, musical saturation that adds depth and character to any source material:

Add subtle warmth to pristine vocals without sacrificing clarity Transform thin drum tracks into punchy, room-filling elements Breathe life into digital synths with organic harmonic content Create mix glue by applying gentle saturation to your master bus Drift & Age: The Soul of Analog What separates good analog emulations from great ones? The imperfections. The 280 PRE features two groundbreaking parameters that capture the essence of vintage equipment:

DRIFT Control: Introduces subtle, organic variations in harmonic overtones, mimicking the natural inconsistencies of analog circuits. This creates a constantly evolving soundscape that fights digital sterility and adds musical interest.

AGE Control: Want that worn-in, treasured studio sound? The AGE parameter progressively alters harmonic content and degrades high-frequency response in musically pleasing ways, replicating the sound of components that have matured through decades of use.

Tactile Tone Sculpting Beyond its core saturation engine, the 280 PRE gives you precision tools to shape your sound:

Lo/Hi-Pass Filters: Intuitive tilt-style filtering lets you focus the saturation effect exactly where you need it MIX Control: Blend processed and dry signals for parallel processing techniques AUTOGAIN: Linked Input & Output controls maintain consistent levels while you dial in the perfect amount of drive 2x Stack: Engage serial processing to run your signal through two instances of the 280 PRE simultaneously, intensifying harmonics and saturation for more extreme tonal shaping
