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. The Sonnox 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. # Digidesign Pro Tools HD, Mix compatible (RTAS version also included) These two modes also ensure optimal DSP usage. # Features two modes of operation - direct and band split - for maximum flexibility and artistic creativity. # Creates artistic effects ranging from subtle tube-like harmonic characteristics for warmth, presence and 'in your face' fatness, to outright saturation distortion modelling. # Provides virtual headroom above digital maximum to allow percussive peaks to pass without causing signal overload. # Creates warmth, character and dynamic excitement, similar to that of analogue systems. # Increases the loudness of almost any programme material.

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. 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. 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.
