Vitric is the plugin line of Studio 4, a working recording studio in Cleveland, Ohio. The line covers three instruments: Bevel EQ, a 24 band parametric equalizer with filter slopes to 96 dB/oct; Forge Compressor, a character compressor with four circuit behaviours (FET, Opto, Tube and Clean); and the Harmonic Multiband Compressor, a 6 band multiband compressor built around a dual-stage saturation engine. All three ship as VST3, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, and every plugin is tested in the studio's own sessions before it ships.

One-line version: Vitric builds EQ, compressor and multiband plugins inside a working recording studio in Cleveland, Ohio.

Every product image on this page is a real render from the plugin's own render harness, captured with live signal in the licensed state. None of them are mockups. Publish them as-is: do not recolor or composite them, and use Forge's four mode renders instead of simulating its relights. The studio photographs are the actual rooms at Studio 4 in Cleveland.

Working on a review, a comparison or a video? Email support@vitricaudio.com with your outlet and platform and we will set you up with a full NFR license. The store is pre-launch and installers are not publicly hosted yet, so press builds go out directly by email as launch approaches.

Fact checking: if a claim on this site or in your draft needs verification, ask us. We would rather correct a spec before it prints than after.

The story behind the room is on the about page. Free 14 day trials run through the trial page. Everything else: support@vitricaudio.com.
