Sonnox Mastering (HD-HDX)

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’

Sonnox-Oxford Dynamics (Native)-Pluginsmasters

 

  • 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

 

Audition codecs in real-time

We spend our professional lives making mixes sound as good as they can – and then hand them on for encoding and distribution. Later we often wish we could have made some improvements.

What if there was a way to audition and compare up to five audio codecs in real time? Enter the Fraunhofer Pro-Codec plugin.

Its intuitive display helps you quickly focus on key issues such as codec effect on frequencies, audible artefacts and codec-induced overloads. Optimize your mix for specific formats, such as AAC or mp3, before encoding it using the plugin or the separate manager application for background batch processing.

  • Real time auditioning & encoding with glitchless switching
  • Supported Codecs:

– mp3, Apple AAC (Mac only), AAC-LC, HE-AAC, HE-AAC-V2, xHE-AAC

– AAC-LC & HE-AAC multichannel

  • Select up to 5 codecs for simultaneous real-time encode
  • Batch processing using dedicated Manager application
  • Comprehensive metadata editing
  • ABX mode for blind statistical testing
  • DIFF monitoring; listen to effect of codec on input signal

 

Breathe life into your sound

A unique and powerful plugin to increase loudness, without sacrificing sonic quality or dynamic range. Add power and presence to your mix without the pumping of compression, or use on individual channels to bring them forward and add weight. Perfect to help vocals cut through the mix.

When driven harder, Inflator delivers tube-like musical warmth and provides the ‘sonic glue’ you need to gel your mix together!

“Inflator is a rare plugin…I can’t live without it. It simply makes everything sound better…”

“Just the right amount of Inflator will breathe life into anything you run through it!”

A One-Of-A-Kind Limiter Plugin

Having crafted and refined your mix, join the growing number of professionals who’ve chosen the Oxford Limiter to deliver maximum loudness, density and presence – whilst retaining the kind of clarity and transient detail that conventional brick-wall limiting can’t.

The Oxford Limiter is a true peak limiter that offers recently enhanced levels of processing and metering accuracy. The result is that you get to see and automatically correct otherwise invisible reconstruction overloads – and conform to the accepted industry ITU-R BS.1770-4 standard.

Whether you’re after the Oxford Limiter’s hallmark transparency or heavier creative effects, its advanced look-ahead processing and unique Enhance function provide the sample-value limiting and musical boost needed to reliably avoid clipping and confidently increase apparent loudness.

  • Peak limiting with attack, release & variable soft-knee
  • Enhance section to increase perceived loudness
  • Recon meter shows actual rather than sampled signal
  • Auto Comp fixes recon errors without losing overall loudness: conforming to the industry’s true peak measurement standard (ITU-R BS.1770-4)
  • Audition and apply TPDF dither for 24-bit and 16-bit output word lengths with four types of variable noise shaping
  • Four variable-strength noise shaping modes for use with highly dynamic program material
  • Full backwards compatibility with previous plugin versions
  • Great library of factory presets to get you started

 

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.

Sonnox Oxford EQ (Native)-pluginsmasters

  • 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.
