KIT Plugins Debuts NP A67 Plug-In, Bringing the Iconic “Clovis Sound” to the Modern Studio

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KIT Plugins Debuts NP A67 Plug-In, Bringing the Iconic
“Clovis Sound” to the Modern Studio

New Plug-In Emulates Custom Altec 1567A Tube Mixer
from Historic Norman Petty Studios

NP A67 Is The First in a Series of Plug-In Releases from
KIT Plugins and Norman Petty Studios

“Pure vintage ‘50s and '60s tones on tap” - Recording Magazine

“...absolutely nails its vintage intentions, while adding just enough additional features to make it a great flavorful addition to any modern mix.” - Recording Magazine

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August 15, 2025) – Award-winning audio software developer KIT Plugins today announced the release of NP A67, a meticulously modeled plug-in that emulates a custom-modified Altec 1567A tube mixer/preamp used at the legendary Norman Petty Studios in Clovis, New Mexico—the birthplace of the unmistakable “Clovis Sound” made famous by early recordings of Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, and many more.

The NP A67 is the first product to emerge from a new, long-term exclusive collaboration between KIT Plugins and Norman Petty Studios, widely regarded as one of the most authentically preserved vintage recording studios in the world. This marks the beginning of a full line of Norman Petty Studio-inspired plug-ins and virtual instruments from KIT Plugins, aimed at  celebrating the sonic heritage of this iconic studio, which has largely remained untouched since 1969. 

A rack-mounted tube mixer, originally designed as a radio station preamp, the Altec 1567A Tube Mixer Preamp — known for natural tube saturation, harmonic richness, mild distortion and low‑end warmth — was repurposed by Norman Petty in his late 1950s console. Petty used three such units—heavily modified, with discrete solid-state circuitry—for L/C/R stereo signal paths.

Bringing the warmth and color of ‘50s and ‘60s analog gear into modern DAWs, KIT’s NP A67 delivers rich tube warmth, musical saturation, natural compression, and subtle harmonic color—reborn as a modern preamp and EQ plug-in for macOS and Windows (AAX, AU, VST3, iLok-protected).

The NP A67 is available now for $49. To learn more and purchase, visit https://kitplugins.com/products/np-a67. 

The NP A67 blends authentic tube-driven tone with enhanced mid‑band control, all in a single-plugin workflow. Whether you're tracking vocals, drums, guitars, or mastering, NP A67 brings vintage character with modern flexibility—letting you sculpt rich, era-defining warmth across generations of recorded sound. 

Key Features 

• Tube Saturation & Drive: Input controls emulate tube distortion when pushed toward 0 dB, mirroring the natural compression of the original mixers.
  

• Analog Texture: Optional hum recreates generator noise from vintage components.
  

• EQ Additions: While the bass and treble mimic vintage tone stacks, the mid peaking band is a modern tweak—introduced to augment tonal shaping without deviating from the original’s character.
  

• Flexible Filters: HP (High-Pass) and LP (Low-Pass) Filters provide studio‑grade control to focus or tame frequency content based on use case.

Coming This Fall:
KIT Plugins and Norman Petty Studios will take over the September issue of Recording Magazine with exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes studio content, an in-depth feature, and the first NP A67 plug-in review, exploring the rich legacy behind the Clovis Sound.

KIT PLUGINS PARTNERS WITH NORMAN PETTY STUDIOS TO PRESERVE THE ICONIC SOUNDS OF THE LEGENDARY RECORDING STUDIO

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KIT PLUGINS PARTNERS WITH NORMAN PETTY STUDIOS TO PRESERVE THE ICONIC SOUNDS OF THE LEGENDARY RECORDING STUDIO

Buddy Holly’s Signature Sound Available For A New Generation of Music Makers

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (July 15, 2025) - Nashville-based music software company KIT Plugins is partnering with Norman Petty Studios of Clovis, New Mexico to preserve the iconic sounds of the legendary recording studio, the birthplace of Buddy Holly’s signature sound. Considered to be the most well-preserved vintage recording studio in the world, KIT is the first company to enter into a long-term, exclusive collaboration with Norman Petty Studios.

As the developer of some of the industry’s best sounding plugins, KIT is developing a line of plugins modeled after the historic analog gear used by Pioneering Producer/Musician Norman Petty, which has largely remained untouched since 1969.

By preserving the Norman Petty Studio and adapting its historic sound for modern digital tools, KIT Plugins allows this significant chapter in music history to continue inspiring future generations of artists and engineers.

Nearly all of Buddy Holly’s groundbreaking hits were recorded in the Clovis, New Mexico studio, alongside other iconic artists such as Roy Orbison, Buddy Knox and Waylon Jennings. Even decades after Petty’s passing, the studio continued to attract talent, with LeAnn Rimes recording her hit “Blue” in Norman's second studio in the early 1990s.

"We are beyond excited about this partnership as we get to honor the studio’s remarkable legacy while bringing its unique sonic character to a new generation of music creators,” said Matt Kleinman, Founder, KIT Plugins.

“Norman Petty Studios is thrilled to be involved with KIT Plugins on this amazing collaboration. Bringing Norman Petty’s story and recording techniques to a new generation of music makers has been a longtime goal of the studio and we couldn’t think of a better partner than KIT Plugins,” said Ron Skinner,  Consulting Engineer / Digital Archives Manager, Norman Petty Studios.

The Norman Petty Recording Studio stands as a living relic of the 1950s and 60s rock ‘n’ roll. Stepping inside is like walking into a time capsule, visitors are greeted with a museum-like experience, passing through the 1950s apartment Norman built for artists like Holly and the Crickets to stay in while recording there.  The journey continues down narrow hallways leading to the heart of the studio, where original instruments such as the celeste from Buddy Holly’s “Everyday” and the Solovox organ used on the Fireballs’ 1963 number one hit “Sugar Shack” remain in their exact places, as if waiting for the next session.

The control room still hums with the creative energy of Petty’s genius. In the studio, Petty's custom-built console, a fusion of three heavily modified Altec 1567a mixers and units from Pultec, Ampex, and Fairchild, allowed him to push the boundaries of sound even further.

The original Altec speakers, still suspended from the ceiling, continue to offer a glimpse into the magic of those iconic recordings. One of Norman’s earliest innovations was the custom reverb chamber he built in the mid-1950s, hidden in the rafters of his father’s auto shop next door. The chamber, which was later tiled by Buddy Holly’s family, was a key element in creating the signature reverb-laden sound that defined so much of Holly's music.

Actively in development, KIT plans to release their first emulation from this iconic studio in 2025. For more information, visit www.kitplugins.com/pages/norman-petty

The rich tone when inserting it in the path is so satisfying. The mid/side is so enriching that it will make a regular piano come to life in the mix, or turn a flat kick into a beast.”
-  Jean-Marie Horvat, 5X GRAMMY-winning Mixer/Producer/Engineer

"This definitely captures the tone and character of the original unit.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Aug. 15, 2024) - KIT Plugins and Blackbird Studio are releasing BB F66/67, the studio’s first-ever Fairchild compressor emulation today.

It's not just about compression—it's about capturing the emotion and depth in a way that resonates with the listener. The 660's unique harmonic character is what makes it irreplaceable in her vocal chain. The F66 gives me that same feel whenever I need it," shared John McBride.

KIT PLUGINS AND BLACKBIRD STUDIO COLLABORATE TO BRING THE SOUND OF AN ICONIC API LEGACY CONSOLE TO DAWS WITH THE RELEASE OFTHE BB A5 CHANNEL STRIP PLUG-IN

KIT’S BB A5 IS MODELED AFTER TWO HIGHLY-SOUGHT OUT API LEGACY CONSOLES IN BLACKBIRD STUDIO B AND D

BB A5 FEATURES THE SOUND OF THE API 212L PREAMP AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THREE COVETED EQ’S FROM THE CONSOLES KNOWN FOR COUNTLESS CHART-TOPPING RECORDS

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Aug. 28, 2023) - KIT Plugins and Blackbird Studio are bringing the sound of an iconic API Legacy console to DAWs everywhere with the release of BB A5, the channel strip plug-in modeled after two highly-sought out consoles in Blackbird Studio B and D. The API Legacy consoles are known as some of the best-sounding consoles to be used in a commercial studio and for countless chart-topping records. Delivered with sonic precision, the BB A5 captures the tone of the 212L preamp and characteristics from three of the most coveted API EQ’s including the iconic three-band 550A, the four-band 550L and the proportional Q-based graphic equalizer 560L. Creators can now access the same sounds used on countless hit songs today starting with a limited-time introductory price of $150, by visiting https://kitplugins.com/products/bb-a5.

With careful consideration and a thorough analysis, KIT’s team collaborated closely with Blackbird Studio Owner John McBride to capture the essence of the API 212L saturation, and the nuances of the console’s EQ’s, analog hum and the character of the master buss.

"The API Legacy is a major part of Blackbird. It was important that the BB A5 capture the sound and vibe of the hardware as a whole, not just one of the channels. My first experience with the plug-in was shooting it out with the real thing and I was ecstatic with how close it was. The BB A5 replicates the feel of the desks in Studio B and D beautifully," said John McBride, Owner, Blackbird Studio.

"The BB A5 is the largest project we have taken on yet. It was paramount that we deliver a product that lives up to the sonic reputation of our other products and still capture the feel of the original hardware. My team and I worked tirelessly hand in hand with John and Blackbird for over a year to create this plug-in. I couldn’t be happier with the result as the A5 is already a mainstay in my mixing toolbox,” said Matthew Kleinman, Founder of KIT Plugins.

Already gaining popularity among music creators, producers and audio engineers are welcoming the meticulously crafted emulation lauding;

“The A5 is a very welcome addition to my own mixing. All 3 of the classic eq styles in one plug-in with easy access hi/lo pass filters is a big deal to me. Add the mic pre “weight” to that and you can’t go wrong.” 
- Joe Carrell, 11X GRAMMY-nominated Audio Engineer

“I immediately go to the kick and take away a little 500 and add a little 63. I’ve always loved the API Legacy console and this plugin replicates it beautifully. It sounds like I’m in D!”
- Steve Marcantonio, GRAMMY-winning Producer and Recording Engineer

“It’s absolutely gorgeous sounding. The first plugin, in my opinion, to nail the proper API sound.” 
-Joseph J. Chudyk, Multi-Platinum Mixer (IDK, Kane Brown, The Band CAMINO)

The BB A5 plug-in will also be added to KIT’s Blackbird Studio Bundle which includes the 7-band BB Mo-Q (used in Martina McBride’s vocal chain), the award-winning BB N105 channel strip plug-in and the BB N73 their recently released 1073 emulation.

KIT PLUGINS RELEASES BB N73, THE FIRST 1073 EMULATION FROM BLACKBIRD STUDIO

KIT PLUGINS RELEASES BB N73, THE FIRST 1073 EMULATION FROM WORLD-RENOWNED BLACKBIRD STUDIO

MUSICTECH HAS THE FIRST LOOK (HERE)

KIT PLUGINS FEATURED IN FORBES (HERE) AND NAMED IN MIX MAGAZINE’S 2023 LIST OF PRO AUDIO COMPANIES TO WATCH (HERE)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 8, 2023) - KIT Plugins and legendary Blackbird Studio are releasing BB N73, the first-ever 1073 emulation from the world-renowned studio based in Nashville, Tenn. KIT’s BB N73 is designed to sound and function just like the hardware in use at Blackbird Studio, offering one of the only real-world emulations that includes a separate controllable masterbus, inspired by the master channel from Blackbird’s 8058 console and built to sound and feel like the 1073 master buss amp. MusicTech shared the exclusive first look lauding, “This new emulation is thorough in its creation, combining characteristics taken from no fewer than twelve different 1073s housed at Blackbird, even down to the electrical noise they make.” Read more (HERE).

KIT’s BB N73 follows their award-winning BB N105 and BB Mo-Q. BB N73 is available now for a limited-time introductory price of $75, by visiting, https://kitplugins.com/products/bb-n73. Users that purchased the BB N105 V1 will receive BB N73 free for a year.

The 1073 is one of the most iconic channels in recorded music history and has played a critical role in shaping music’s sound since the 1970s. Popularized for its identifiable analog character and simple eloquent controls, the 1073 is known for its’ fat, warm, colorful tones, and has been used to create some of the greatest chart-topping albums by some of the most-well known artists in history.

Featured by Forbes (HERE) and named in Mix Magazine’s list of pro audio companies to watch in 2023, KIT Plugins has helped countless producers, engineers and creatives enhance their sound with their “revolutionary new software” (American Songwriter).

For the BB N73, KIT’s team of engineers worked closely with Blackbird Studio Owner John McBride and the Blackbird team to capture the best characteristics from twelve vintage 1073 units, in use at Blackbird Studio and hand-selected by McBride. Incorporating McBride’s favorite characteristics, each 1073 was analyzed to ensure every audible detail was accounted for, capturing the essence of all of them, including everything from cables and modifications to age and irregularities.

“Building the BB N73 has been one of our biggest projects yet. With other entries in the space, it needed to be special. As a user of many different 1073 plug-ins, I always found the models to be more reminiscent of a brand new unit than a vintage one, and I wanted to fill that niche with Blackbird Studio. We analyzed every vintage 1073 at Blackbird Studio and selected twelve of the best units. John and I then selected our favorite aspects of each unit so our development team could build what we believe is the perfect vintage style 73 channel,” shared Matt Kleinman, Founder, KIT Plugins.

“Like many, I gravitated towards the 1073 early in my career, for its unique sound, saturation and tonal capabilities. The BB N73 brings everything I love about the original unit to life in your computer, from the legendary preamp and EQ to the iconic big red knob,” he added.

YouTube Influencer David Vignola (Home Recording Made Easy) revealed a full demonstration, view it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnFjSxAr8mE.

BB N73 KEY FEATURES

• Console frequency response accurately sampled from 10Hz to 96kHz.

• Input and output trim to provide additional gain staging.

• Master Buss: Emulates the vibe and mojo of pushing into a master buss of a console.

The BB N73 Plugin runs on MAC and PC, supports mono and stereo, and is compatible with all major DAWs that support the following formats; VST3 (Steinberg Virtual Studio Technology 3), AU (macOS Audio Unit), and AAX (Avid Audio Extension).

"The Motown EQ is one of the most fascinating pieces of gear I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Aside from its amazing history, the circuit itself is truly unique. It has subtle, broad stroke controls but somehow brings an undeniable level of character to everything you use it on. I knew that the Mo-Q would need to replicate that. We started from the ground up. Using our experience with the BB N105, we expanded on our processes and technology to develop the most accurate EQ model possible. The Mo-Q can truly replicate the tone and feel of the original Motown EQ," said Matt Kleinman, Founder of KIT Plugins.

BB Mo-Q Key Features:

• A musical, character driven, iconic retro-EQ, with full automation.

• 7 pre-defined passive frequency bands that provide all the curves needed to sculpt your mixes.
