In Scott Banks’ own words:
“DIAMOND LIFT 2 captures the true essence of the Studio DMI workflow and signature sound that has been used for several years by Luca Pretolesi and me, on numerous chart-topping records. LIFT is carefully pieced together to accurately emulate four integral steps of our process and make the Studio DMI sound, that is achieved in our studio with multiple pieces of analog gear.  Each section of the plug-in has been purposefully chosen and designed to make LIFT a versatile and powerful, easy to use plug-in that can be used to quickly bring a synth or vocal to the front of a mix, or transform a dull track into a thick, exciting and loud final master.”

CORE 13

Diamond LIFT 2 is based on our Core 13 engine:

• NEW Our new Core 13 engine improves on the previous version by introducing our new VLA™ technology (Vector Loading Acceleration), which makes the response of the plugin much faster.
• Upgraded SASM (Symmetric & Asymmetric Saturation Modeling) high-performance saturation algorithm;
• Introduction of a new post-production sample de-noising tech for cleaner deconvolved impulses called STT (Super transient technology);
• Full compatibility with Client/Server architecture integrated by default in Acqua plugins;
• Engine optimization introducing a new highly efficient algorithm. This innovative technique is applied to all the deconvolved impulses for further de-noise processing and subsequent elimination of any incorrect low-level behavior (including the so-called "echo bug").
