Acustica Audio has launched Ash Ultra, a precision clipping plugin for Windows and Macintosh systems. This new addition to the Ash Suite is available in VST, VST3, AAX, and AU formats and introduces significant new features and improvements.
Ash Ultra is a state-of-the-art clipping plugin based on the new ‘Aria’ engine. This engine supports real-time metering displays and brings several new features to the table.

The Advanced Metering System with Real-Time Waveform Display is a significant addition to the plugin. It includes RMS Input-Output meters and GR meters, designed to swiftly identify peaks and extreme values in the audio signal. This feature allows users to keep a constant eye on the attenuation curve and the amount of plugin distortion/clipping, providing real-time insight into the audio’s performance.
Ash Ultra also emphasizes strong graphical components, providing a highly detailed view of audio information. This is particularly valuable for audio engineers seeking to finely adjust parameters with utmost precision. It also offers enhanced instant response of the controls, capable of providing immediate feedback on the impact of your adjustments.
As a part of the Ash suite, Ash Ultra is a free update for current Ash owners and is available in Aquarius as a separate install. Additionally, the Ash plugin suite is currently available at a 45% discount until December 10th.
