Do not be surprised if plug-ins they seem you by familiar – this is further evolution of plug-ins of the developments by Spectral Design and Houpert Digital Audio by order Steinberg, which once in the past were in a complete set from Nuendo, Cubase and WaveLab.
Esspresso is a fast, beautiful & powerful de-esser for everyone doing audio recording. De-essers have previously been aimed towards highly professional audio producers that needs full control over the sibilance (high frequency noises) in their mix. These noises can bring trouble to your overall sound – for example if you want a ”crisp” tone to the voice and add the EQ, the S’s will eventually distort and make it hard to balance the mix. The uniqueness of Esspresso is that the detection frequency range isn’t coupled with the suppressors frequency range. That means you can listen to a specific frequency and compress another one, which is often what you’ll want from a professional de-esser. With a fast and accurate frequency response view, you will easily get full control over annoying S-sounds that otherwise can ruin the mix.
Coil is an analog warping effect, a sample decimator, phaser and more. Coil was originally designed to be a glitch driven distortion effect – a probabilistic device that emulates degradation in digital and analog systems. Building on that concept, Puremagnetik has developed Coil as a simple, fun, useful toolbox for giving your audio some welcomed mistakes. It includes algorithms for augmenting your sounds with tape warp, bit and sample rate reduction, phase cancellation, filtering and more, all contained within six simple macro controls.
Techivation T-Clarity is an audio plug-in designed to clean muddiness and boxiness in audio. It is a powerful tool for making your mid-range sound more solid and consistent. T-Clarity enhances the quality of mid-range frequencies musically, and it’s an essential tool along with the T-De-Esser for any audio processing tasks. What is a muddy and boxy sound? It’s very common to have an unpleasant sound from 200 to 500Hz in most recordings and mixes, and those unwanted audio effects are usually referred to as muddy sounds. A muddy sound is mainly caused by not having the right balance in the sounds. Boxiness is a similar unpleasant sound coming from a frequency range of 250 and 900Hz in many recordings.
In 1954, a truly unique compressor appeared on the scene: the U17. Built by Allgemeine Telefon-Fabrik in Hamburg for the NWDR broadcasting network, only a few dozen units of this exemplary analog masterpiece were manufactured, making this gem one of the rarest compressors ever built.
