Sonnox Oxford Inflator Plugin - MusicTech

Extra bonus, each band has its own independent stereo width adjustment too, which really opens up the possibilities. Wide high ends with tight, solid lows are easy to achieve, and an output valve stage adds an extra dose of warmth and vintage-ness when needed.Find out more at pspaudioware.comSonnox – Oxford InflatorThis renowned plugin, taken from the revered Sony Oxford R3 console, is a mastering engineer’s dream.Not a compressor as such – it actually preserves and even enhances dynamic detail in a way that’s entirely unlike a compressor – the Oxford Inflator employs a secret alchemy of psychoacoustics and harmonic distortion to add loudness, power and weight to a mix while avoiding all of the downsides of traditional compression (pumping, tonal balance shifts, and so-on). The plugin also does an amazing job on stems, in particular drum submixes, and on individual tracks – vocals are a speciality! Once you try Inflator you may well never be able to do without it.Find out more at sonnox.comFind deals at thomann.Universal Audio – Precision MultibandAlthough only available in UAD-2 format for Universal Audio Apollo interfaces and DSP accelerators, Precision Multiband is exactly what it says it is: an accurate and precise multiband dynamics processor. Each of the plugin’s five bands can be switched between compressor, expander and gate modes, and employ super-responsive detectors that can deliver near-instantaneous response times when needed.The familiar dynamics controls make it easy to dial in the perfect settings for mixes and stems, and allow for a wide range of treatments from the gentlest tickle to a full-on in-your-face brick wall of sound. Few other multiband compressors offer this degree of accuracy and flexibility.Find out more at uaudio.comBrainworx – Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor Class AModelled on a boutique hardware processor created by the secretive Shadow Hills Industries, Mastering Compressor Class

It is a great price for the quality, I'll definitely say that...but I'm not yet sure why i'd 'need' this plugin. I tried it on several different things last night - 2bus, drum master, OH bus, bass gtr, etc., etc. The 1 place where I found it to be a great value was on an organ (hammond + leslie) track. It really brought out the high frequency transients for this particular track. I can see it being useful of synth tracks as well.At the end of the day, I wonder what this can.

Trick. #9 I have the inflator and I’m currently demo-ing the PM. They’re both great. I tried using both on the mix bus and they both did wonders for a rock mix. Lots of saturation and color. The inflator seems a bit smoother, but the PM adds more color. It’s funny, but my mix bus has both AND the Logic adaptive limiter. Many mastering engineers prefer mixes with no limiter on them, but I’ve had tracks mastered by professional engineers with limiters on with no problems. But you can get your mixes really hot using these 3 plugins. My school of thought is get your mix as close as you want it before mastering, and these three really do the trick. Agreed. Both are great tools! However, I also suggest not to have anything like a limiter on the master buss when sent out for mastering. A good ME will work with whatever they receive, but the result will tend to be more transparent without that on there when they receive it. However, if it's the vibe you want and taking it off kills the vibe (i.e. integral to the crunch sound of the mix) leave it on. #10 Just an FYI for those who might be researching. The native, non-UAD2 version of Inflator is a more updated version. It is also on sale two or three times a year on sites like Plugin Boutique usually between $60-$70. It's a good tool, but not something that you use during tracking, thus a DSP version isn't as important as when the UAD2 version came out. #11 Just an FYI for those who might be researching.

Gear Addict Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 311 🎧 15 years I have the demos of both the Sonnox Inflator and Limiter here and I'm comparing them to Ozone 3, and I gotta say, although of course the Sonnox stuff sounds great, it seems like I can get nearly if not just as good a sound with the Ozone stuff (with a little more tweaking). Ozone is 1/3 the price and has so many more functions. Am I crazy? Your thoughts... ? I recently had a chance to try the new L3s and they sounded much better, specially the new L3-16. Is it my impression or someone had the same feelings? Registered User Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 224 🎧 15 years Just try the demos, dude: Sonnox Oxford PluginsI like the Inflator right before the limiter on heavy rocky stuff. It seems to smooth out the distortion from the A/D and can add quite a bit of level (so that you don't need to hit the A/D as hard). And at this stage it can really be controlled via the "Curve" control.If you're having a tough time getting the level you want go for the limiter. It's great. But if you have no problem getting your levels where you want them without much compromise the limiter won't do much. At least, not nearly as much as the Inflator.In regards to the Ozone comment, I think if you're using all plug-ins, or doing mastering at an amateur or semi-pro. level, the iZotope Ozone would be the best bargain for you. But as a link in your chain the Ozone is more like a bunch of cheap tools whereas the Sonnox stuff is very, very nice. Also, it'll keep its value whereas the resell on Ozone is...well...you can guess... And Ozone can't touch the Inflator. No contest, there.Good luck, and remember... Try the demos, dude!
