The Inflator plug-in is a little less conventional, as it takes a unique algorithmic approach to making mixes or individual tracks sound very loud and punchy, achieving extremely impressive results that have to be heard to be fully appreciated. The limiter includes a unique Enhancement slider that increases subjective loudness and warmth in a way that sounds not unlike tape saturation.
The reverb takes an algorithmic approach and, to my ears, delivers the type of sound you’d expect from classic hardware reverb units by the likes of Lexicon, Klark Teknik and AMS, yet without imitating any of them specifically. It has separate control sections for the early reflections and reverb tail, and comes with a useful library of presets covering everything from ambience to cathedrals. The control section strikes a good balance between flexibility and ease of use, and the CPU load is far less than for a convolution reverb. The Recon Meter and Auto Comp parameter enable you to meter and automatically correct otherwise invisible reconstruction overloads, while conforming to the ITU-R BS.1770-4 industry standard.Ĭomprehensive dithering functionality is included with four, variable-strength noise shaping modes, which ensure high-resolution mastering output quality, in either 16- or 24-bit audio.The one Sonnox plug–in we haven’t yet reviewed is Transient Modulator, so I’ll take a more detailed look here.
Oxford Limiter v2 comprises four processes cascaded in order: preprocessing gain control, program enhancement and overshoot control, reconstruction metering and compensation, and dithering and noise shaping.
Attack, release, and soft knee can be independently adjusted with the Enhance function applied, to achieve perceived loudness that ranges from nuanced limiting to artistic audio effects. Sonnox Oxford Limiter v2 is a true peak limiter plug-in, which provides transparent level control and program loudness maximization to your mixes with a level of transient detail that surpasses that of traditional brickwall limiters.
