Broadcast Plugin Bundle

Broadcast Production Collection

Sonnox Broadcast is a collection of powerful Oxford plug-ins which provide high-quality processing and precision control for broadcast production. Including the renowned Oxford EQ and Dynamics plug-ins, the popular Inflator for maximizing loudness, the preset-packed Oxford Limiter and the SuprEsser for fixing problematic frequencies - Sonnox Broadcast will dramatically improve the quality of virtually any programme.

The Oxford Dynamics plug-in is modeled on the extremely flexible and capable unit used in the OXF-R3 professional mixing console. Resulting from many years of research into professional dynamics applications, it offers separate Compress, Limit, Expand, Gate and side chain EQ functions, with full independent control of all parameters. Features such as selectable time constant curves and variable soft compress functions allow the user to confidently tackle all common uses of compression, from subtle unobtrusive level control and mastering functions to the production of great artistic effects. The use of a feed-forward architecture with logarithmic side chain processing, making use of look-ahead techniques, ensures exemplary sonic characteristics and dynamic accuracy, with an artistic capability simply unavailable from other single units, analogue or digital. This highly sophisticated and professional product has the power and flexibility to obviate the need for many of the separate applications most users keep for specific uses.

Features

• 64-bit compliant (AAX / AU / VST)
• The Dynamics Section from Sony OXF-R3 Console.
• Separate sections for Compressor, Gate, Expander, Limiter
• 2-Band side chain EQ (with audition function)
• Warmth control for extra presence and tube-like warmth.
• Three different Compressor types (Linear and Exponential Curves)
• Variable soft knee Compressor.
• Separate 5.1 Bus Compressor (where supported)
• Ultra Low Noise and Distortion.

Oxford Inflator

The Inflator is a unique process that can provide an increase in the apparent loudness of almost any programme, without obvious loss of quality or audible reduction of dynamic range, yet avoiding damaging increases in the peak level of the signal. The inflator process can also bring power, presence and warmth to programme material and even provide headroom overload margin above digital maximum with a subtlety and musical character reminiscent of tube systems.

Use the Inflator to produce louder mixes than you thought possible without overloads or compression pumping, or use it to add natural warmth and character to acoustic or jazz mixes.

Features

• Fully 64-bit compliant
• Adds presence and tube-like warmth
• Increases perceived loudness of any material
• Provides virtual headroom above digital maximum
• Direct and band-split modes

Oxford Limiter

The Oxford Limiter has been developed from decades of professional audio experience to provide a very high degree of quality and facility in programme loudness control and limiting functions. By employing highly accurate logarithmic side chain processing, along with innovative adaptive timing functionality using look-ahead signal acquisition, the limiter provides exemplary performance, whether one is seeking general transparent level control, programme loudness maximisation or heavily applied artistic sound effects.

Features

• Fully 64-bit compliant
• Enhance Section to increase perceived loudness
• Reconstruction Meter shows ‘actual’ signal rather than sampled signal
• Auto compensate feature corrects recon errors without losing overall programme loudness
• Attack, release and variable soft knee controls
• Comprehensive dither and noise shaping
• Complete with many factory presets

Oxford SuprEsser

The Oxford SuprEsser is both a very highly-featured professional De-Esser and a Dynamic EQ. There is a simple mode for quick fixes, but also an advanced mode for increased functionality and fine-tuning. The combination of an intuitive FFT display and three listen modes enables the user to easily see and hear exactly where the problem frequencies are, allowing the rapid reduction or removal of the offending audio. As well as being able to trigger the full band compression, only the offending frequencies can be carefully carved out. Since the SuprEsser can operate at all frequencies, ‘plosives’ and other annoyances can also be removed effortlessly, making it more than a simple De-Esser. Additional features include Automatic Level Tracking, Linear Phase Filtering and a Wet/Dry blend control for final balancing.

Features

• 64-bit compliant (AAX / AU / VST)
• Highly featured professional De-Esser
• Linear Phase Dynamic EQ
• Transparently controls aggressive frequencies
• Automatic Level Tracking follows energy levels (no need to automate threshold)
• Large intuitive graphic display makes finding frequencies very easy
• Full Spectrum Operation (20Hz -20KHz)
• Three different 'Listen' modes
• Very easy to use
• Advanced Mode for ultimate control of the Dynamic EQ
• Many creative as well as corrective uses
• Presets giving good starting points
