RC-20 Retro Color now on Splice Rent-to-Own

Stockholm-based XLN Audio, a music software company co-owned by legendary hitmaker Max Martin, has partnered with leading music production platform Splice to make one of its most popular production tools available at a more musician-friendly price point for the first time.

RC-20’s six unique FX modules can replicate everything from vinyl records to VHS machines, adding noise, wobble and dropouts to a track. Its raw distortion and crunchy bit reduction will add grit to bass and drums. The Space and chorus effects can make guitars sing like never before, and the filtering effects fit right into the most modern club track.

XLN’s RC-20 Retro Color is now available to producers for the introductory rate of $4.99/month (for 20 months) through Splice Rent-to-Own, a unique, musician-friendly distribution model that makes world-class production tools more financially accessible. With Rent-to-Own, creators get instant access to creation software and pay off the retail price over time in small monthly installments with no interest. Splice is proud to provide musicians with a path to ownership of their software, unlike traditional subscription models that do not enable musicians to build equity by owning their tools.

RC-20 Retro Color is a creative effect plugin that adds life and texture to any recording.
It has become a staple for a new generation of producers and musicians worldwide for its ability to recreate the warm, cozy feeling of vintage recording equipment, while still syncing perfectly with any modern production setting.

About XO

XO by XLN Audio is a unique beat-making & drum sample exploration tool. See our XO Review – a Revolutionary Intercosmic Way of Beatmaking by XLN Audio, “XO (Affiliate Link) by XLN Audio is a very advanced new way to deal with your large collection of drum sounds. On top of that XO includes an amazing collection of included drum sounds. The innovative way to quickly swap sounds out for similar sounding with the help of machine learning. Next, to audition the collection to confirm if it fits your needs and then drag-and-drop your midi pattern into the DAW is a huge time saver when you want to be creative and productive. XO (Affiliate Link) is worth the investment of any professional beatmaker and producer to allow us to move as fast as possible to keep up with the creativity flow. XO is the next generation for Drum Machine Synth and Drum Sequencing.”

XO collects all your one-shot drum samples and sorts them by similarity. Every single sample is represented by a colored dot in XO’s Space interface. Here you can sweep through your sounds seamlessly, regardless of file format or where they are stored. When you find something you like, XO allows you to browse similar-sounding samples easily.

XO comes with its own integrated sequencer and sound editor. Any sound you find in XO Space quickly loads into and updates your beat. Quickly tweak individual samples or the whole kit with built-in features like Sample Edit, Pan, Envelope, Pitch and EQ, and effects like Distortion, Delay, and Reverb. XO’s groove templates and accentuation tools allow you to modify and tweak your beats to perfection quickly. When you have created a groove or set of samples, drag & drop with ease straight into your DAW or OS as WAV or MIDI.
