Sonnox Essential (Native)

A powerful all-in-one dynamics control plugin

A powerhouse of dynamic control in a single plugin that features six independent processes for precision dynamic sculpting of your tracks.

• Gate
• Expander
• Compressor
• Limiter
• 2-band side-chain EQ
• Warmth control

From subtle control of a vocal, to a pumping side-chained effect; from lightning-fast gating and precision expansion to peak level limiting of single tracks and buses alike. Sonic clarity at all times – with the option of tube-like harmonic saturation when you need it.

They’d love to talk about our use of feed-forward architecture with logarithmic processing, but maybe it’s better to quote some of our users instead:

‘Musical-sounding and intuitive’, ‘Transparent’ and ‘Versatile’

 

• Gate, Expander, Compressor, Limiter & 2-band side-chain EQ
• Warmth for extra presence and tube-like saturation
• 3 different compressor types; Normal, Classic and Linear
• Variable soft knee; 0 dBr to –20 dBr in 5 dB steps
• Surround bus compressor & limiter (HD-HDX only)
• Ultra low noise and distortion
• The dynamics section from the acclaimed Sony OXF-R3 console

 

Versatility & quality in one EQ plugin

A powerful EQ is essential to any mix. If you mix music, film sound or live shows, you need an EQ plugin that’s up to the task.

Enter their flagship Oxford EQ.

This versatile parametric EQ plugin traces its heritage back to the revered, million-dollar Sony OXF-R3 digital console. Now, you can unleash the power of the Sony OXF-R3 from your DAW.

The Oxford EQ features an easy-to-use interface and four distinct EQ types. Whether you’re using it for deep, surgical cuts or broad, gentle mastering curves, the results are always musical and always transparent.

• 5-band parametric EQ with variable-slope HP/LP filters
• Four completely different sounding EQ types

1. Clinical EQ similar to the SSL4000 E series
2. Tighter ‘cut’ for removing problem frequencies
3. Classic EQ similar to Neve and SSL G series curves
4. Wide and gentle curves perfect for mastering

• Automatable A/B compare button toggles EQ settings
• Ultra low noise and distortion

An optional 5th EQ type, an exact emulation of the highly regarded GML-8200 EQ hardware unit, is available as a £150 paid upgrade to owners of the HDX EQ version.

Originally designed in collaboration with George Massenburg for the OXF-R3 console, the GML Option faithfully reproduces all the control ranges and responses of the classic analogue original – even delivering centre frequencies up to 26KHz to provide a smooth airy top-end to your tracks.

Imagine your Pro Tools HD session loaded with fully endorsed GML-8200 EQ emulations, with that sound, multiple instantiations, recall and complete automation.

 

Create space for your sound

Reverb should sound natural and enveloping, sitting in, rather than on a mix. To achieve this, you need a reverb plugin that can adapt to your requirements.

Enter the Oxford Reverb.

The Oxford Reverb is a versatile reverb plugin that allows you to create real space for your sound. With 120 presets as standard, the Oxford Reverb gives you a solid foundation on which to build. From drier ambiences and open reverberant spaces, to sound effects and settings inspired by classic hardware. With so much control to hand, it’s easy to design your own spaces from scratch too.

Designed with the highest technical and sonic performance in mind, the Oxford Reverb is a class-leading stereo reverb plugin with hallmark Sonnox clarity and ease of use. The comprehensive yet intuitive GUI features flexible Early Reflection, Reverb Tail and 5-band Oxford EQ sections, giving you all the tools you need to craft a rich sound space.

 

• Extremely flexible stereo modeling reverb
• Independent paths for Early Reflections and Reverb Tail
  Paths can be combined or used separately
• Integrated 5-band Oxford EQ
• Separation control alters stereo width of input signal
• Over 120 presets – including Halls, Chambers, Rooms, Ambience and more

 

An intuitive de-esser plugin

Reduce problematic frequencies with ease using the Oxford SuprEsser.

Whether you need to remove harshness from an electric guitar, or simply remove sibilance from a vocal track, the Oxford SuprEsser is the solution.

Operating between 20hz – 20kHz, this plugin goes deeper than your standard de-esser, letting you hear and see problematic frequencies across the full audio spectrum before dialling them out.

Choose between a simple mode, for quick fixes, or the advanced mode for increased functionality.

When you’re sick of sibilant sounds, fire up your SuprEsser.

 

• An award-winning Linear Phase Dynamic EQ
• Transparent and accurate control of aggressive frequencies
• Auto Level Tracking follows the energy of the input and applies same relative gain reduction as signal level changes perfect to de-ess a vocal that’s quieter in verse than chorus
• Wet/Dry control for quick parallel processing
• Full audio spectrum operation (20Hz – 20KHz)
• Native only plugin. An optimized AAX DSP version, SuprEsser DS, is also available.
