Software Developer

In 2003 Bobby Nathan founded Unique Recording Software[59][60][61] better known as URS plug-ins.[62][63]

URS Classic Console EQ Bundle

URS introduced the URS Classic Console EQ Bundle[64] featuring the first two URS plug-ins, URS A series EQ[65]>[66]and the URS N series EQ[67]>[68] were introduced at the 115th Audio Engineering Society convention [69] in The New York City Friday October 10 - Monday October 13, 2003. The URS A series and URS N series were bundled together and sold as the Classic Console EQ Bundle[70] The URS A series EQ is an emulation of a famous vintage 1970's American recording console's equalizer section module. The URS N series EQ is an emulation of a famous vintage 1970's British recording console's equalizer section module.

=== URS S eries EQ At the January 2004 NAMM Show in Aneheim URS debuted three new plug-ins, the URS S series EQ plug-in[71][72] and URS Classic Console Graphic EQ BundleCite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).. The URS S series EQ is an emulation of a famous 1980's British mixing console's equalizer section.

URS Classic Console Graphic EQ Bundle

The URS Classic Console Graphic EQ Bundle[73] featuring the URS A10 10 band Graphic EQ and the URS N12 12 Band Graphic EQ. [74][75] The URS A10 series EQ[76] is an emulation of a famous vintage 1970's American recording console's 10 band graphic equalizer section module. The URS A series EQ[77] is an emulation of a famous vintage 1970's British recording console's equalizer section module as 12 band graphic equalizer.

URS Fultec Program EQ Bundle

The URS Fultec Program EQ Bundle[78] consists of two plug-ins, The URS FulTec Program EQ and the URS BLT Program EQ.

The URS Fultec Program EQ consists of five bands that overlap for a wide range of subtle and powerful changes..

The URS BLT Program EQ is a two band Program Equalizer with selected URS FullTec bass and treble curves for quick track or mix sweetening.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

URS 1975 Classic Compressor

The URS 1975 Classic Compressor[79] digitally recreates of a transformer input and voltage controlled gain reduction amplifier (VCA) characteristics.

URS Classic Console Strip

Classic Console Strip consists of independent compressor and EQ sections.

The Compressor section digitally recreates characteristics of a transformer input and a specially designed 1975 VCA gain reduction amplifier. The Compressor features fully adjustable Threshold, Ratio and Gain Makeup with three preset Attack and Release settings.

The EQ section features a three band EQ digitally recreated from three different analog consoles. URS selected the critical frequencies for today's Hip Hop, R&B and Rock. The LF and HF EQ bands each offer three different frequencies. The Mid range EQ band is fully sweepable with selectable Sharp or Wide "Q" bandwidth.

The Compressor and EQ sections are totally independent of each other featuring separate In/Out switching. The Compressor section is selectable between Pre/Post the EQ section.

URS Classic Console Strip Pro

The URS Classic Console Strip Pro v2.0 is a multi console in the box channel strip solution that allows the engineer create his or her dream console by choosing favorite algorithms from the Input Stage, Compressor and EQ selections.

URS Saturation

The URS Saturation plug-in[80] includes six digitally recreated Pre Amplifiers that add different and distinct vintage even and odd ordered harmonics, input stage saturation and soft clipping.

URS Phat C

The URS Phat C[81] is a multi purpose analog sounding compressor for individual tracks and buses. It replicates characteristics of not one but many hardware compressors . It's Input Stage adds saturation to color and effect the compressor's response to different program material. The six saturation models recreate vintage harmonics and soft clipping that effect transients before compression. The URS Phat C uses a combination of saturation and compression to produces a fat sound.

URS M series EQ Bundle

The URS M Series EQ Bundle[82] consisyes of two plugins, The URS M series Motorcity 7 band graphics EQ and The URS M series Vintage Cinema 6 band graphic EQ.

The URS M series MotorCity Equalizer digitally recreates the legendary 7 band passive equalizers used exclusively by Motown staff engineers during the Motown era. I heard it through the grapevine that the sliders on the early units were unreliable. Motown's cheif technical engineer Mike McLean built "Brick House" custom modified clones using stepped rotary switches on each band for added reliability and a variable gain booster amplifier for gain level matching. It has been our Pride and Joy recreating this classic.

The URS M series Vintage Cinema Equalizer digitally recreates the even rarer 6 band passive equalizers used for film and professional cinema. The original vintage hardware units were considered to be of the first equalizers ever made with six bands - 80hz, 200hz, 500hz, 1.25khz, 3.2khz and 8khz. We have added what we feel is a necessary seventh band at 16khz. The URS Vintage Cinema EQ frequencies overlap with the URS M series MotorCity EQ frequency centers and when both plug-ins are used together they make a total of fourteen bands.

URS N4 Classic Console EQ

The URS N4 Classic Console EQ[83] Digitally recreates the sound of a vintage British Six Band Equalizer (4 bands plus HP/LP Filters).

URS Everything EQ Bundle

The URS Everything EQ Bundle[84] includes: URS A series - 4 band Parametric EQ URS N series - 5 band Parametric EQ URS S series - 6 band Parametric EQ URS A-MIX EQ - 7 band Parametric EQ URS N-MIX EQ - 7 band Parametric EQ URS S-MIX EQ - 7 band Parametric EQ URS A10 series - 10 band Graphic EQ URS N12 series - 12 band Graphic EQ URS BLT EQ - 2 band Program EQ URS FullTec - 5 band Program EQ URS MotorCity - 7 band EQ URS Vintage Cinema - 7 band EQ
