Oxford EQ

The renowned Oxford EQ is based on the original EQ section of the Sony OXF-R3 large format digital mixing console. It is a 5-band EQ with selectable shelf settings on LF and HF sections. Additionally, separate variable slope low pass and high pass filters are provided. The Oxford EQ also features four different EQ curves that cover a broad array of styles, including some legacy styles which are renowned for their artistic capability. The use of novel coefficient generation and intelligent processing design provides unparalleled performance that surpasses analogue EQ in both sound quality and artistic freedom. The Oxford EQ truly is four equalisers in one plug-in and will provide all the EQ you’ll ever need!

Features

• Fully 64-bit compliant
• 5 band fully parametric EQ
• Variable HF & LF filters up to 36dB/Octave
• Algorithm taken directly from the Sony OXF-R3
• Four different EQ types in one plug-in
• Fully de-cramped HF response
• A / B switches (automatable)
• Ultra low noise and distortion

Oxford Dynamics

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 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

• Fully 64-bit compliant
• 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 TransMod

The Transient Modulator allows dramatic manipulation of signal transients. It can completely exaggerate or dampen the attacks, with continuous variation between all settings. A 'soggy' drum kit can be brought to life, or a bass made to sound more punchy. Conversely, it can bring up the ambience surrounding a specific sound by softening the attack. TransMod can give life to dull sounding recordings, without the unwanted changes in overall timbre associated with compression.

Features

• Fully 64-bit compliant
• Accentuates or softens attacks and transients
• Brings instruments forwards or pushes them back in the mix
• Radically changes the dynamics of instruments
• Variable harmonic enhancement for extra punch
• Can have the effect of increasing or decreasing room ambience
• Gives life to dull sounding recordings without the artifacts of compression

Oxford Reverb

The Oxford Reverb plug-in is a highly flexible stereo reverberation generator, designed to complement existing Sonnox Oxford applications in providing the user with the highest technical and sonic performance coupled with artistic and creative facility. As well as providing stunning presets, the user has full control over all of its many parameters, including a very comprehensive early reflections section, and integrated 5-band EQ. The Sonnox Oxford Reverb allows the powerful facility to create virtual spaces freely, depending on artistic need, ranging from dry reflection ambiences, room and hall simulations, sound effects, all the way to wide open reverberant spaces with a very large range of possible texture and spatial character.

Features

• Fully 64-bit compliant
• Extremely flexible stereo modelling reverb
• Full control over all of its many parameters
• Independent control of early reflections and reverb tail
• Integrated 5-band EQ
• Over 100 invaluable presets for music and post-production

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. 

Unique processing in the form of the Enhance function provides the sample value limiting needed to reliably avoid overloads in digital workstation environments and allows unprecedented volume and punch to be applied to programme beyond that available from conventional limiting functions.

Comprehensive metering is provided which displays not only conventional peak sample value, but additionally allows the user to monitor the true validity of the programme in order to avoid the generation of damaging reconstruction overloads in the target equipment which are often invisible during production (sometimes termed 'inter-sample peaks').

A further function allows the user to dynamically correct for reconstruction overloads in real time, thereby achieving maximum possible modulation levels without the risks of producing illegal signals often associated with compression and limiting.

Comprehensive dithering functionality with selectable and variable depth noise shaping ensures first-class mastering output quality in either 24-bit or 16-bit modes.

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

A new concept is born – a simple and intuitive De-Esser, PLUS access to a much more sophisticated frequency specific compressor, giving complete control over aggressive frequencies wherever they may be in the audio spectrum. With the Oxford SuprEsser you can take out unwanted frequency peaks as and when they occur - unlike applying a fixed EQ to the whole channel.

As a De-Esser, the Oxford SuprEsser is designed for the treatment of sibilance and fricatives in vocals, and the treatment of unwanted whistles and 'spirant' artefacts associated with wind instruments. However, it can equally be applied to removing low-end 'plosives' and thuds from over-close vocal work, without affecting components nearby in the frequency spectrum, keeping the low-end in tact. For the most natural sounding results, the SuprEsser de-esses only the frequency band you set - so you won't end up with an over-de-essed lisp-like voice with all the top end gone!

Detailed visual feedback is provided thanks to the highly intuitive graphical display, allowing quick identification of the frequencies that need treatment and where to set the threshold. The threshold level and peak hold levels of the user-definable band are shown on the graph, alongside the FFT display of the narrow band signal, which includes retention of the peak level and the frequency containing the most energy.

Features

• Fully 64-bit compliant
• 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
