Acustica Celestial
Celestial is a two-plugin suite for sound manglers who want to add some creative texturizing and psychoacoustic action to their tracks.

Based on a modern hardware machine built in the UK and used by both mixing and mastering engineers, Celestial provides an additional layer of analog goodness to single tracks as well as full mixes. Experiment with the 'Texture' or the 'Dimension' controls to see what we mean. What are you waiting for?

Celestial is free until February 14, 2019.

It adds mojo...No, tbh not really...It looks and sounds like it makes subtle changes via EQ, stereo spreading/separation, multiband dynamics and harmonic adding. I just gave it a short spin and it can add some dimension to quite dead sounds. Its probably for the mixing engineer rather than the creative musician. If i have a dull sample somewhere, i might remember putting it in. Its a bit hungry for such subtle changes. Maybe i am too stupid to appreciate this device, but i take it.

So last Christmas (i gave you my heart, but the very next day...) they gave away something called Ceil which looks remarkably similar to Celestial:

I don't know what Ceil is modeled on, but Celestial is supposedly this:

Fusion is an all-analogue 2U stereo outboard processor created for the modern hybrid studio. Fusion introduces five completely new analogue colouration tools designed to bring the perfect combination of added tonal character, weight and space to your mix bus or stereo stems, with the detail, warmth and finesse that only real analogue circuits can provide.

The SSL sonic legacy is built upon a much-emulated collection of analogue audio processing tools that have featured in generations of studio consoles; pristine mic pre’s, classic Channel EQ & Dynamics, the legendary Stereo Bus Compressor, the Listen Mic Compressor, and the unique SSL summing bus. Fusion takes SSL into a new era with the introduction of a suite of new analogue processing tools that offer exceptional tonal character and versatility. Fusion expands the processing palette for hybrid studio owners and is a superb partner for the SSL Stereo Bus Compressor.



Might be worth checking out.

Yeah pretty much this. It's a very subtle all-round enhancer, I'm liking it a lot

They eventually released an update to Ceil called Big Ceil, and it was also given to us for free, so I imagine something similar will happen with Celestial. Or not.

Big Ceil's normal price is $99.

OMG Celestial sounds AMAZING. It puts a coat of expensive sounding sheen over an entire track. I just went back and put Celestial over my latest track and I wish I had this before I posted it.
