Sonnox has announced the Oxford SuprEsser dynamic EQ in Avid’s AAX format, calling it ‘a major milestone in a formidable two-year AAX project’.
The SuprEsser is a highly-featured De-Esser and a Dynamic EQ, offering a simple mode for quick fixes and an advanced mode for increased functionality. The combination of an intuitive FFT display and three listen modes aids identification of problem frequencies. As well as being able to trigger full-band compression, specific frequencies can be ttreated.
Since the SuprEsser can operate at all frequencies, ‘plosives’ and other annoyances can also be removed. Additional features include Automatic Level Tracking, Linear Phase Filtering and a Wet/Dry blend control for final balancing.
Key features
- · Linear Phase Dynamic EQ
- · Transparently controls aggressive frequencies
- · Automatic Level Tracking follows energy levels (no need to automate threshold)
- · Large, intuitive graphic display
- · Full 20Hz-20KHz operation
- · Three different 'Listen' modes
- · Advanced Mode for ultimate control of the Dynamic EQ
- · Creative as well as corrective uses
‘Producers and engineers who have been waiting for full AAX compatibility can now continue working with our top of the line Elite Bundle in Pro Tools 11,’ says Managing Director, Rod Densham. ‘Porting our plug-ins for AAX is a complex and time-consuming task, because we feel strongly about respecting and preserving the integrity of the original Oxford plug-ins, which have become a worldwide standard in modern audio production. ‘With the January 2014 introduction of the SuprEsser AAX, we have completed the final component of the Sonnox Elite Bundle, which we consider the Ultimate Oxford Plug-in collection.
‘AAX development continues with our Sonnox Restore Suite and Fraunhofer Pro-Codec plug-ins due for release in the first half of 2014. We remain committed to developing the best sounding, most useful and user-friendly plug-ins possible,’ heconcludes. ‘The development of a number of totally new products is now a primary goal of our expanded design team.’
