Trick. #9 I have the inflator and I’m currently demo-ing the PM. They’re both great. I tried using both on the mix bus and they both did wonders for a rock mix. Lots of saturation and color. The inflator seems a bit smoother, but the PM adds more color. It’s funny, but my mix bus has both AND the Logic adaptive limiter. Many mastering engineers prefer mixes with no limiter on them, but I’ve had tracks mastered by professional engineers with limiters on with no problems. But you can get your mixes really hot using these 3 plugins. My school of thought is get your mix as close as you want it before mastering, and these three really do the trick. Agreed. Both are great tools! However, I also suggest not to have anything like a limiter on the master buss when sent out for mastering. A good ME will work with whatever they receive, but the result will tend to be more transparent without that on there when they receive it. However, if it's the vibe you want and taking it off kills the vibe (i.e. integral to the crunch sound of the mix) leave it on. #10 Just an FYI for those who might be researching. The native, non-UAD2 version of Inflator is a more updated version. It is also on sale two or three times a year on sites like Plugin Boutique usually between $60-$70. It's a good tool, but not something that you use during tracking, thus a DSP version isn't as important as when the UAD2 version came out. #11 Just an FYI for those who might be researching.

It gets occasional use during tracking here on certain guitars. #13 It gets occasional use during tracking here on certain guitars. Are you using it like a limiter? Just interested in what the settings might be. Apollo already has so much gain available, I wouldn't think it would be for loudness. And you can add saturation later. #14 The oxford stuff just seems to have a thing to it, its hard to make something sound worse with the inflator. #15 It gets occasional use during tracking here on certain guitars. that sounds very interesting, if you have time, i would love to

Pursue the idea of just 1 perfect limiter. To my ears both the Sonnox Oxford Limiter, the Flux Pure Limiter and Ozone Limiter are great and each sound different.

Limiter seems to be a little bit softer and adds some more "plugin" character to me. Inflator is closer to the good AD clipping, can push it even more forward which is nice in certain cases... Registered User Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 305 🎧 15 years I use both all the time. I try'd a few different limiters and i thought the sonox 1 was the best, I find that the inflator kind of tightens things up a bit as well.great plugins.regards, Lives for gear Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 793 🎧 15 years The combination works to make things very very loud.m.

Yeah I would agree with that the Inflator still sounds like ITB clipping, A/D clipping sound very different to my ears, not as harsh sounding Registered User Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 566 🎧 20 years i like the limiter more than the inflator. the inflator sounds harsher compared to the limiter. i don't like most other plug-in limiters, they are only usable in combination with clipping for transient-heavy music imo. with the sonnox limiter i don't have to use clipping. it retains transients more than most other limiters, but sounds less harsh than

Quality or dynamics. You can give your mix some serious punch without the need for added compression, and you can even use the Inflator on individual tracks (such as vocals), to give them more weight in the mix.When driving Inflator harder, you can achieve a tube-like warmth to glue your mix together.As you can see from the interface, Oxford Inflator is very straightforward. There are independent modules for input, effect and curve, and output. There are also direct and band-split modes for additional customization.In all, the Inflator is a subtle but pleasing effect, and it can help individual tracks cut through in a mix. Similarly, it can add depth, bottom end, and presence to your mixes, and there’s no need for hours of tweaking to get from where you started to where you want to go!Learn more: Plugin BoutiqueMastering Suite by Acon DigitalAcon Digital is one of the top VST plugin developers, and their Mastering Suite is sure to be of interest to you, especially if you’ve taken to their VST features and workflow.This suite comes with Equalize, Dynamics, Multiband Dynamics, Limit, and Dither to help you dial in your ideal mix.Let’s start off with Equalize, which is a parametric equalizer. This baby lets you adjust center frequency, gain, bandwidths, and filter slope, which can be set to anywhere from three to 120 dB per octave.Equalize can be operated in zero latency with the minimum bypass mode, but you can also take advantage of the linear phase or mixed phase modes for added control.Dynamics is an all-in-one compressor, expander, or gate. It includes a look-ahead, which can be set from zero to 30 milliseconds. The intelligent algorithm allows for a band-limited gain signal. Four-time oversampling can reduce distortion even further.Dynamics also includes a side chain equalizer with low-cut, low shelf, peak, high shelf, and high cut filters.Multiband Dynamics is the multiband version of Dynamics. It allows for dynamic processing of up to four bands. Cross-over frequencies and filter slopes can be set in the range of six to 48 dB per octave. This module operates in linear phase mode.Limit, not surprisingly, is a transparent limiter. It offers intelligent look-ahead from zero to 30 milliseconds. This helps reduce distortion. Limit utilizes a two-step process with a pre-compressor follower by the peak limiting algorithm. Up to four times oversampling can be used to reduce distortion even further.Dither comes with flexible perceptual noise

Common issues include true peak clipping, poor EQ balance, too much compression, and phasing.Decluttering a mix, in fact, can be a real hassle, especially if you don’t have the tools necessary to easily identify problems and fix them.Mastering The Mix’ EXPOSE 2 lets you catch many of the common issues associated with mixing before you release your projects. Best of all, it’s very easy to use.Once a track has been loaded up inside EXPOSE 2, you can choose a preset (based on where your music will be heard – CD, Spotify, YouTube, etc.) and load up a reference track (or genre specific preset), consult the readings (loudness, peaks, stereo / phase, dynamic range), identify and isolate the issues, check your tonal balance, and match the loudness.All in all, EXPOSE 2 comes with Compare EQ, Loudness Match, and Analysis Feedback. It will measure loudness range, integrated LUFS, short term LUFS, decibel true peak (16x oversampling), sample peak, left / right heat map, correlation heat map, and short-term dynamic range.EXPOSE 2 is a handy plugin, just as described. Mastering is an art and a science, and it’s easy to get wrong and often hard to get right. So, if you want to optimize your music for major platforms, this plugin is worth a look.Learn more: Plugin BoutiqueOxford Inflator by SonnoxThe Sonnox Oxford Inflator is a simple and powerful plugin that lets you boost loudness without losing sound
