Your outboard's settings, back from the audio.
The client wants a revision three weeks later. The compressor on the vocal has been used on four songs since. Nobody took a photo. With DigMusiK you don't need one: the settings are worked out from what the unit did to your audio, and a re-dial check tells you which way to turn each knob to get back.

The twin: this unit at these settings, ready in your plugin
Recall is why people stop using their outboard.
Today
- Recall sheets that get skipped when the session runs late
- Phone photos where you can't read the knob, or that are on someone else's phone
- A knob nudged a millimetre changes the sound, and you can't tell which
- Revisions mixed "in the box" instead, because getting the hardware back is guesswork
- Recall systems that only work with one maker's gear, or need extra hardware
With DigMusiK
- The settings come from the print itself: nothing to fill in during the session
- Each setting comes with how confident we are, and why
- A re-dial check compares your new pass with the original print and says which knob to move
- Automatic Recall logs every print as you make it, dated and kept with the song
- Works with any unit that's been captured with its controls, from any maker
How you'd use it.
- During the mix
Leave DigMusiK on the insert
Put the DigMusiK plugin on the send and return of your hardware insert. Automatic Recall stamps the song at the first print (its title, songwriter, tempo, time signature and key) and knows which part of the song each print is, so a quiet verse isn't mistaken for a change after a loud chorus.
- Every print
It notices when a knob has moved
Prints made at the same settings are logged for free. When something has changed, it asks before sending that print for Print Recall (or, if you prefer, sends up to three a day by itself). The result joins a dated history saved inside your DAW session.
- Three weeks later
Open the session, and the settings are there
Every unit's settings, print by print, with the date. Or, for a session recorded without DigMusiK, upload the dry track and the print from any DAW (ten seconds to five minutes of each) and choose the unit.
- Back at the rack
Set the unit, then check
Turn the knobs to the sheet, print a few seconds, and run a re-dial check. It compares your new pass with the original print and tells you which knobs to move and which way, until you're back on it.
- Or don't
Use the twin instead
Every recall comes with a twin: that unit at those settings, ready in your plugin and level-matched to the print. Finish the revision in the box, or hand it on in a shared session, with the hardware's sound intact.
Everything around the recall.
Print Recall
Settings worked out from a dry track and its print, for any unit captured with working controls: your own capture of it, or a published capture of the same model (a close estimate). You get a recall sheet to print or keep, the twin, and a fit report setting by setting.
Re-dial checks
Set the hardware back up, print a few seconds, and see which knobs to move and which way. Run it as often as you like until it matches.
Automatic Recall
In the plugin: every print logged with the song's stamp and where in the song it is. Unchanged prints cost nothing; changed ones ask before using a Print Recall. The history lives in your DAW session.
Rack Recall, for any gear
Not every unit is captured. List your rack once, any brand, and keep a sheet per song with every setting and the patching. Compare two sheets to see exactly which knobs moved, and print them.
Questions engineers ask.
Which gear does it work with?
Any unit captured with working controls on DigMusiK, whatever the maker. Capture your own unit and the recall is for that exact unit; use a published capture of the same model and it's a close estimate. For gear nobody has captured, Rack Recall keeps the sheets by hand.
How accurate is it?
Each setting comes with a confidence and the reason for it. The re-dial check is the proof: it measures your new pass against the original print, so you know when you're back.
What if I changed the level before or after the unit?
Print Recall can't see a trim outside the unit, so it asks about your routing, and the re-dial check will show if the level has moved.
Do you keep my audio?
No. The dry track and print are deleted as soon as the job finishes, and within 24 hours at most. The settings, the sheet and the fit report are kept until you delete them.
Does it work in my DAW?
Anywhere the DigMusiK plugin runs (VST3 and AU, Mac and Windows), and the upload route works from any DAW at all.
One Print Recall free. Ten a month on Studio, fifty on Pro.
Re-dial checks are included (3, 20 and 100 a month), and Rack Recall and Automatic Recall are on every plan.
