Psycho EQ

 

The Psycho EQ dynamically boosts frequencies to equalise the nonlinearities of the human ear. It raises the perceived volume of the mix and makes it sound fat without drastically changing the overall volume. A linear-phase tone control is provided to make your mix sound warm or bright.

 

Ultra Stereo

 

The Ultra Stereo section adds space and transparency. A Virtual Surround Encoder creates a sense of being right in the middle of the mix by stretching the sweet spot around the room. A welcome side effect is that a large part of the room resonances are eliminated. It’s an essential tool to upmix from mono to stereo and also drastically enhances existing mixes or old recordings.

 

Phase Enhance

 

Phase Enhance adds analog punch and masks nonlinearities of speakers or amplifiers. It creates auditory distance by simulating the natural dispersion and propagation of the sound. Diffuse Cream adds silkiness to pads or vocals.

 

Multiband Exciter

 

Designed to enhance presence and brightness the exciter with 8192 bands adds vibrancy and depth to your mix by generating additional harmonics. It can reconstruct missing frequencies from analog recordings and low bit-rate encodings.

 

Smart Filter

 

The Smart Filter section enhances transparency and adds more detail by using frequency-domain masking. The easy-to-use noise reduction is an essential tool to clean up analog recordings.

 

Stereo Width

 

The multiband stereo widener allows you to enhance the stereo field while keeping the bass and mono compatibility intact.

 

Realtime display

 

A high precision Spectrum Analyser displays the sound in realtime and reveals weaknesses in your mix. An exclusive, new type of Phase-meter is used to show the phase correlation of your tracks. It provides a real time view of the stereo image by displaying information about the relative phase as well as the frequencies involved. The color bar to the left of the Phase Meter displays the frequency range and the colors used to illustrate the frequencies.
