Features of Lifeline Console Lite
It has over 100 presets and is very easy to use.
The differences between the Full version and the Lite version are as follows.
(Image borrowed from PluginBoutique)
Even though it's a Lite version, it's pretty solidly built, unlike the limited Lite version that was common a decade ago.
There are three big differences.
・Mid/Side processing
・Each advanced control
Among these, "each advanced control" is for those who want to edit further.
Each module is equipped with a mode that allows you to make even more detailed edits, called Advanced Control.
For example, the preamp module (PRE) normally has only 3 parameters, but the advanced control screen allows you to operate 5 additional parameters. (The amount of parameters that can be additionally manipulated varies depending on the module.)
In the figure below, the red arrows exist on both the normal and advanced control screens, and the parameters surrounded by dark blue squares are the advanced control-only parameters.
Lifeline Console Lite sound demo
Lifeline Console LiteI tried playing the guitar category preset in the guitar loop.
I have the impression that there are many Lo-Fi presets.

Overview of Lifeline Console Lite
IMPORTANT: This is the Lite version of Lifeline Console and has limited functionality.There is also a full version of Lifeline Console.A feature comparison chart can be found at the bottom of this product page.
Lifeline Console Lite brings your recordings to life with the warmth and charm of analog audio processing.
While Lifeline Expanse simulates the space and characteristics of a real recording environment and re-amping method, Lifeline Console Lite focuses on mixing in the control room, allowing you to mix and match popular hardware and analog sound sources within your DAW. Provides format sound.
Each of the plugin's five modules brings a specific vintage flavor to your signal chain:
Pre-amp warms and enhances your signal with colorful saturation with a customizable frequency response.
The EQ offers characteristic spectral shaping by choosing analog circuitry.
The compressor processes dynamics quickly and features an innovative auto make-up control.
Modulation adds movement and life like distorted records or tape speed changes.
Wear introduces the noise, artifacts, and unpredictability of tapes, records, and cassettes, adding the charm and imperfections of old-school reproduction.
Whether you're looking to add a touch of sheen and signal enhancement, degrade your sound into a nostalgic lo-fi production, or anything in between, there's a mix of modules to suit your needs.Overview

Emphasize warm feelingAn important first stage in the recorded signal's journey, the preamp can not only add gain, but also warmth, drive and excitement.
Lifeline Console Lite's EQ delivers straight high and low shelf and cut, with three modes to choose from. Gain mode provides a clean circuit for simple and precise EQ processing. Vintage Circuit mode adds harmonics that drive the signal when boosted.Dirty Circuit mode is a mode that adds saturation and distortion to the EQ process.These modes make Lifeline Console Lite's EQ versatile for anything from subtle tone shaping to powerful overtone enhancement.
colorful dynamic control
Since the dawn of the studio, compressors have been essential to the sound of music.Today, compressors are used in more applications than ever before.
Lifeline Console Lite's Compressor module brings unique dynamics control to the fore, with three compression types to choose from for a variety of sources and uses.
The Comp module offers three compression styles for different production tasks. Analogue smoothes the signal and gives it the character of well-established compressor hardware. Transparent has a clean, modern response that is great for capturing peaks while keeping the body of the sound. Variable is an input dependent response, ideal for smoothing vocals, gluing basses and mastering applications.
Comp module controls include threshold, makeup, and mix. Lifeline Console Lite's unique auto make-up control simplifies the make-up gain process by listening to the audio, averaging the audio signal, and applying exactly the desired gain.
nostalgic pitch warp
In analog audio formats, playback speed is not always perfectly constant.Recreating this effect can give lifeless digital audio a warm, nostalgic feel.
The Modulation section recreates the magic of pitch variation experienced with tapes, records and cassettes, recreating the sonic distortion characteristics of these media with precise control over their characteristics.
Tape mode introduces subtle pitch modulation to compensate for speed and depth.Record Mode simulates the warping of a vinyl record, giving moderate pitch modulation with speed and depth compensation.Cassette tapes offer more extreme pitch modulations, like those heard on compact tapes.
creative texture layers
Signal degradation and pitch shifts from vintage equipment are influenced by the physical format. Lifeline Console Lite allows you to mix one format of wah effects with another format of physical wear.
Shape the tone and feel of your sound with noise, hum, and artifacts.Add life, realism, or lo-fi texture to your mixes, and use these elements creatively as part of your sound design or production workflow.
3 Wear Modes – Tape, Vinyl and Cassette bring 3 types of degradation to your audio and the Age control introduces the saturation and degradation that occurs over time in these formats.
Blending vintage circuits
Lifeline Console Lite offers three controls for adding the final polish to your sound.
The Warm control emphasizes the low frequencies throughout the mix and helps to bring the bottom end together. The Shine control provides a high-end shine, perfect for a final polish to give your tracks that extra edge.
Emulating mixing desk circuits in both Clean and Vintage, the Triangle Pad lets you find the perfect blend with your dry signal.
