Neural Component Modeling
Beyond traditional circuit modeling
Why NCM Beats Traditional Methods
Traditional circuit modeling attempts to mathematically recreate analog behavior through complex equations. Neural Component Modeling (NCM) takes a fundamentally different approach—our LSTM neural networks are trained directly on real analog hardware at 96kHz, learning the actual behavior including subtle nonlinearities, harmonic interactions, and frequency-dependent responses that equations simply cannot capture.
The result? Authentic analog character that responds dynamically to your input, just like the original hardware. Every nuance of tube saturation, transformer coloration, and component interaction is preserved in the neural model.
- 96kHz Trained
- Real Hardware Capture
- Dynamic Response
- True Nonlinearities
Intelligent Auto-Oversampling
Tone Empire's neural models are trained at 96kHz to capture the full spectrum of analog behavior. When your session runs at 44.1kHz or 48kHz, La Crème automatically engages 2x oversampling to ensure the neural model operates at its native sample rate.
This means minimized aliasing artifacts and the same pristine sound quality regardless of your project sample rate. At 88.2kHz, 96kHz, or higher, oversampling is bypassed for maximum CPU efficiency—the model runs natively with no processing overhead.
- Auto 2x at 44.1/48k
- Native at 96k+
- Minimized Aliasing
- CPU Optimized

All-In-One Processing
Everything you need for professional mixing in one beautiful interface
Vari-Mu Tube Compressor
The heart of La Crème is its all-tube Vari-Mu compressor modeled using Neural LSTM technology. Experience smooth, musical compression with natural tube warmth that glues your mix together beautifully.
- Threshold: -20dB to +5dB with smooth response
- Attack: 1ms to 70ms for transient control
- Release: 200ms to 8000ms for musical breathing
- Wet/Dry Mix: for parallel compression
- Sidechain HPF: 60-250Hz to prevent pumping
- Stereo Link: 0-100% control
- Auto-Gain: for consistent output levels
4-Band EQ & Stereo Expander
Shape your sound with the fully parametric 4-band EQ featuring musical curves and precise control. The 2-band stereo expander with all-pass decorrelation adds width and dimension while maintaining mono compatibility.
- Low Shelf: 20Hz - 250Hz with ±16dB range
- Low-Mid Band: 200Hz - 2kHz with Q control
- High-Mid Band: 1kHz - 8kHz with Q control
- High Shelf: 3kHz - 20kHz with ±16dB range
- LP/HP Filters: for surgical control
- 2-Band Stereo Width: Low/High control
- Pre/Post EQ: placement option
