Bundle of Voxengo pro audio plugins that contains plug-ins designed for use in the mixing stage. They will help you get excellent vocal, drum and overall mix sound.
Voice Production : Use sideGATE as a lookahead noise-gate when for example, you have a presenter speaking against background noise. Normal gating would result in a bump in background noise as the presenter speaks and the gate opens, but with sideGATE’s lookahead feature, the background noise can be gently faded in before the presenter speaks creating a smoother, less objectionable sound. Music Production : When the sidechain is higher than the threshhold, the channel is audible, when lower, gated – just the sort of functionality needed to gate a reverb according to the level of a snare drum, a synth according to a hi-hat, a bass according to a bass drum and so on. sideGATE can also be used to alter the attack of a sound (soften a solo electric guitar making it feel like a lap steel) and its panned outputs can be used to create a situation where the position of a sound in the stereo field is switched according to its volume.
SKWOSH, is a versatile compressor offering 4 main modes of hard and soft; compression and signal-boosting. Envelope following comes in a choice of peak or 2 RMS modes with optional peak-hold and simple or complex follow modes. The sidechain can be either internal (1&2) for regular stereo operation, or external; (3&4) for keyed operation. The sidechain filter offers high, low and band-pass with upto 4 poles for a maximum response or 24dB/octave. There is of course a monitoring switch to hear the filtering applied to the sidechain signal too. Various lookahead options are also on-board – a choice of set times with half, double and match modes relative to attack time. And to spice things up – SKWOSH sports 2 distortion algorithms for adding static or dynamic distortion depending on the level of input, and the gain reduction currently applied. To finish things off, the output (NY) mix control allows you to create the perfect balance between original and compressed signals, whilst the dual (input and output) flip switches make configuration a breeze.
monoLOW : low band conformance machine. monoLOW is just about the simplest tool going. The lower its frequency, the more a sound loses its directionality, so it sometimes makes little sense for frequencies below a certain point to be spread accross a stereo mix – a stereo bottom-end can cause a loss of focus.
comPANION : 4 stage graphic compander. 3 modes || sidechains || ‘NY’ mix control. comPANION, is a compressor / expander / dynamics tool with graphic envelopes. Redraw the dynamic of your source by dragging on the screens to create the desired shape.
Reviver creates harmonic distortion, a sound which is often connected to vintage gear. It does not emulate analog equipment, but instead gives the user full control of overtone generation and volume. Despite this high level of controllability, Reviver’s user interface is intuitive and provides the desired result after just a few mouse clicks.
It’s the advanced native Win and OSX compatible version of the famous REFLEXfree.
REFLEX+ is capable of generating huge spaces, short rooms, or chorus like modulations through a cascade of regenerating delays. It’s sound is a mixture of straight stereo delays followed by a dense cloud of reflections. It achieves a huge and spacey wideness with a decent amount of the two modulation sources.
