Huge savings

With the Sonnox Elite plug-in bundle, you save 40 percent off what you’d pay for each of these pro plug-ins individually. Your sound quality will reach that next level and your budget will stay intact – you can’t beat that.

Oxford EQ

The concept behind Sonnox’s Oxford EQ plug-in is to provide an EQ that does what an analog EQ does and then add in the extra features that only digital technology can provide. Most EQ plug-ins are based on a lookup table. That means when you sweep through the frequencies and gain control, you are actually sweeping through presets. Your settings are determined by the software designer’s choices, not yours, or the requirements of the music. The Sonnox Oxford EQ does its calculations on the fly using 48-bit double-precision calculation. The result is that you get the frequencies you select, not the software designer. The Sonnox Oxford EQ also features four different selectable EQ types that cover the EQ styles currently popular amongst professional users, including some legacy styles which are renowned for their artistic capability. It is a fully functional 5-band application with selectable shelf settings on LF and HF sections. Additionally, separate variable slope lowpass and highpass filters are provided.

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 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, analog 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.

Oxford Inflator

No matter how limited, compressed and crushed your program may already be the Inflator will provide even more loudness, it will even add volume to a full-scale white noise signal or add musicality to previously clipped signals! The Oxford 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.U se the Oxford 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. 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.

Oxford Transient Modulator

The Oxford Transient Modulator allows dynamic level of signals to be modified by the transients in the program material over time. You can bring transient events in the program forward, or push them into to the background, so the attacks of instruments can be accentuated or softened depending on settings. The Oxford Transient Modulator 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. These effects are easily achieved with the Transient Modulator, making it a true “secret weapon.”

Oxford Reverb

Combining reverb modeling with an unprecedented level of control, the concept behind the Sony Oxford Reverb is to provide the users with the highest technical and sonic performance coupled with artistic and creative facility. As well as providing stunning presets, the Oxford Reverb allows full control over its many parameters, including a very comprehensive reflections section and integrated 5-band EQ. The 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 spacial character.The sonic quality is stunning. We’ve never heard a plug-in based on artificial reverb techniques that sounds as natural as the Sony Oxford Reverb. It gives you impression of sitting in the room, being able to touch the walls of wood or stone.

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 program limiting functions. By employing highly accurate logarithmic sidechain processing, along with innovative adaptive timing functionality using look-ahead signal acquisition, the Oxford Limiter provides exemplary performance, whether seeking general transparent level control, program loudness maximization or heavily applied artistic sound effects.The Oxford Limiter provides additional processing in the form of its unique Enhance function, which allows unprecedented volume and punch to be applied to your program beyond that available from conventional limiting functions, without incurring the risk of producing either peak sample overloads or reconstructed errors in end-user equipment.

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.
