MAAT Labs has released the third generation of its FiDef JENtwo professional audio software, bringing speed and stability improvements to the newest generation of ARM and Intel computers and professional DAWs.
Developed in collaboration with FideliQuest Incorporated, FiDef JENtwo is a 64-bit audio DSP plug–in that provides a unique, subaudible psychoacoustic addition to audio content, including speech, music and effects. FiDef JENtwo enhances without altering 1770 Loudness or power spectrum, by acting directly on the listener’s subconscious.
FiDef JENtwo’s minimalist user interface belies the underlying complexity. That intricacy is now more streamlined and optimised for both macOS and Windows computers, thanks to the new dictates of ARM optimisation for Apple Silicon.
Grounded in experimentation and analysis, FiDef technology can – accorting to MAAT Labs – increase definition and detail, soundstage width and depth and the emotional engagement of the listener.
With the help of a physicist colleague and a doctor of neuroscience, Jayson Tomlin authored the unconventional FiDef process. Subliminal FiDef triggers cerebral activity analogous to how the brain responds to live performances. The proprietary signal is sub-audible and is ‘masked,’ being below the level of conscious perception when played at normal volume.
‘The response to version one of FiDef JENtwo was fantastic,’ he says. ‘We are seeing recognition from the market that FiDef has a beneficial effect on mixes which, in turn, has other manufacturers validating our work with ersatz solutions. Our colleagues at MAAT have really delivered for us and we are excited to see what’s next with our premier development partner.’
Frans de Rond, label owner, producer and ultra–fidelity engineer, says that, at first he didn’t hear that much difference. After realigning his mindset however, he found the beauty that FiDef offers. ‘When you try to focus too much you often just don’t hear it anymore. But if I ‘let it go,’ then I feel and really hear the difference.’
FiDef JENtwo is available in all modern plug–in formats, including cross–platform AAX, VST 2 and 64-bit VST 3, as well as Universal Binary 2 Audio Units for macOS. Perpetual licences for FiDef JENtwo are available now from MAAT Labs.
