XLN Audio RC-20 Retro Color

Vintage character and analog warmth for modern productions

RC-20 Retro Color by XLN Audio is a creative effects plugin that instantly adds analog warmth, character and texture to your tracks. Inspired by classic recording gear, tape machines and vintage sampler technology, RC-20 creates the unmistakable sound of the studio era and brings it directly into modern DAW productions.

Whether subtle lo-fi coloration or strong characterful sound transformation - RC-20 Retro Color offers producers, beatmakers and mix engineers a versatile tool to enhance the sound of drums, synths, vocals, guitars or complete mixes.

The combination of six versatile combinable effect modules makes it possible to combine authentic vintage sound aesthetics with modern production possibilities.

Authentic retro sound for every production

RC-20 was developed to recreate the typical characteristics of old recording and playback technology. These include tape hiss, vinyl artifacts, pitch instability, analog saturation or bit reduction, which are particularly popular in lo-fi, hip-hop or indie sound design.

The individual effect modules can be used independently or combined with each other to create unique timbres.

Six effect modules for creative sound design

RC-20 Retro Color consists of six specialized effect modules that specifically create vintage character and texture.

Noise - authentic analog background noises

The noise module adds realistic background noises. These include vinyl crackling, tape hiss, studio ambience or electronic noise, which give a production more depth and authenticity.

Wobble - pitch fluctuations like on tape machines

The Wobble module can be used to create pitch instabilities that are typical of old record players or tape machines. This creates organic movement and a vintage sound full of character.

Distort - from analog saturation to fuzz

The Distort module delivers everything from subtle tape saturation to aggressive distortion effects. Ideal for adding punch and character to drums, bass or synths.

Digital Degrader - vintage sampler and bitcrusher

The Degrader reproduces the sound of early digital devices and samplers. Reduced bit and sample rates provide the typical retro digital sound.

Space - atmosphere and depth

The integrated reverb module expands the sound and spatial depth and width and makes tracks sound more organic and lively.

Magnetic - tape machine character

Magnetic can be used to simulate drop-outs and volume losses caused by tape wear. This creates an authentic tape character.

New creative control with the magnitude slider

The central magnitude slider makes it possible to control the intensity of all effects simultaneously. This allows you to quickly create transitions, drops or creative changes in the arrangement.

This intuitive control makes RC-20 particularly interesting for sound design, beat production and modern music production.

Fast results with professional presets

RC-20 contains an extensive collection of professionally created presets that are ready to use. They cover numerous applications, including

  • Drums
  • bass
  • synthesizers
  • guitars
  • keyboards
  • complete mixes

The presets can be used directly or as a starting point for your own sound experiments.

Worth knowing

Retro effects are an important part of modern music production. Many current genres such as lo-fi hip-hop, indie pop, trap or alternative consciously use vintage artifacts to give a digital Mix more character. Tools such as RC-20 Retro Color simulate these characteristics and enable producers to use classic analog character in modern DAWs.
