The application was developed to address the common situation where there is a need to selectively tighten up percussive instruments or soften the unwanted percussive effects of acoustic musical instruments. The TransMod can give life to dull sounding recordings, without the unwanted changes in overall timbre associated with compression. Conversely, it can bring up the ambience surrounding a specific sound by softening the attack. A 'soggy' drum kit can be brought to life, or a bass made to sound more punchy. It can completely exaggerate or dampen the attacks, with continuous variation between all settings. The Transient Modulator allows dramatic manipulation of signal transients. Significant 'musical overdrive' can be achieved working especially well on individual tracks. The full dynamics of the program is largely preserved but with an increase in the average modulation density.Ī further aspect of enhancement provided by the Inflator involves the creation of warmth reminiscent of good 'tube' or 'electronic valve' systems.

Use it on single instruments to add presence, softness and depth, or use it on percussion and drum tracks to produce amazing dynamic presence, tightness and volume. Used more subtly, it can add natural warmth and character to acoustic or jazz mixes. For the same reason, there is absolutely no chance of losing presence or the flattening of percussive attack. Since it is truly a real-time process, there are no time constants involved, as would be the case with limiters and compressors. Its capable of producing much louder mixes without without overloads or compression pumping. The Inflator was developed in response to requests from mixing and mastering engineers who are required to compete on the basis of the overall apparent loudness of their final results. It will even add apparent volume to a full scale white noise signal, or add musicality to previously clipped signals. No matter how limited and crushed program material already is, the Inflator will provide even more loudness. The Sonnox Enhance Collection contains three simple-to-use, but incredibly powerful plug-ins, to enhance your mix and give it the energy it deserves to be heard above the rest.īundle contains: Oxford Inflator, Oxford Transient Modulator and Oxford Limiter Do you need that bit extra? Extra loudness, presence, punch? Look no further.
