Key Features
The XLN Audio RC-20 Retro Color is the ultimate tool for injecting that highly sought after "vintage mojo" into your productions, with this plugin in your arsenal you'll be transported right back to the golden age of recording.
Consisting of six innovative FX modules, the RC-20 allows you to recreate just about any sound you can imagine. Lo-Fi recording is made easy through the ability to create glitches, wobbles and dropouts, whilst the on-board distortion is perfect for adding grit to drums and bass. Transport your sound to another dimension by making the most of space and chorus, you can even use the detailed filters to achieve club-style sounds with minimal hassle.
Exclusive to the RC-20 is the Flux Engine. The sole purpose of this section is to bring you the exact unpredictability that makes recording with analog equipment so appealing. Liberated from the sterile nature of working "in-the-box", the wide range of swappable components makes the RC-20 a real asset. Drums, bass, guitars, keys, vocals. You name it. The Retro Color will make it sound immediately better!
Please Note: This product comes in the form of a digital download code that will be sent to your email for activation.

Noise - This module is perfect for making your recordings imperfect. Take advantage of this to add noise through the form of vinyl crackle, tape hiss, ambient studio noise, circuitry hum, as well as the static stompbox noise.
Wobble - Use this to emulate the sound of audio played back on devices that are incorrectly set-up such as record players and tape machines.
Distort - From subtle warmth to signal break-up. This module allows you to achieve just about any style of distortion you can think of. You'll find that this module particularly excels on direct guitars, drums, bass and vocals.
Digital: - If you're big on old school Hip Hop then this module is a real treat! It enables you to recreate the sound and feeling of using vintage styled samplers. The signal degradation this provides generates a truly unique sound that will take you right back to the '80s.
Reverb - Introduce depth and width to any source via the incorporated Space module. The comprehensive control section this reverb provides allow you to enhance your sound without any compromises.
Magnetic - Achieve authentic drop outs with this module. This is excellent for manipulating samples with its ability to "wear" and "tear" audio.
