What it is

Anaheim is a dual-channel tube microphone preamp and Vari-Mu compressor plugin from M Media Audio, available in VST3 and AU. It models analog tube saturation that responds to input level rather than a dedicated drive knob, paired with a Vari-Mu-style compressor that reacts musically to whatever material you feed it. A built-in two-band EQ and dual VU-style metering round out the signal chain.

Who it's for

Mixing engineers and producers who want a one-plugin solution for gluing a mix bus, vocal, or drum bus together with warm, cohesive analog character rather than stacking separate preamp and compressor plugins.

Key features

• Dual-channel design with stereo, mono, and dual-mono modes for flexible routing
• Input-driven tube saturation that responds to how hard you hit it, with additional saturation added after compression
• Vari-Mu compressor with threshold, attack, release, and sidechain high-pass controls, plus parallel compression blending
• Built-in 80 Hz low shelf and 8 kHz high shelf EQ with 10 factory presets to start from
