1 INTRODUCTION 1 Introduction The Sonnox Oxford Inflator plug-in is designed to address the current preference to produce the maximum apparent loudness from popular music mixes. Many processes are already in use, which are variously reliant on compression and limiting to produce maximum modulation and try to give an impression of excitement to the sound of the programme. - Page 4 When used in this way, the Inflator even has the ability of good valve systems to produce great sounding programme when significantly overdriven, and can therefore be used as an artistic enhancement tool on single performances within a mix. www.sonnox.com Go to contents...

Also, when used for distortion generation, the relative phase of the distortion harmonics are better preserved when band splitting is not used, so accurate clip rounding is possible, thus producing a much more pleasing effect. www.sonnox.com Go to contents... -

flashes occasionally to indicate the presence of max peak sample values. Set the OUTPUT level control to maximum initially, so that the input and output meters have similar readings when the music is played. www.sonnox.com Go to contents... -

GUI, even if overload indications are being triggered within the host mixer application. Further user modifications to the Inflator process can be invoked to either gain greater loudness or different characteristics in sonic detail, as described below. www.sonnox.com Go to contents... -

For example, when used in direct mode (band splitting de-selected) with CLIP 0dB selected and the EFFECT level set to 100%, even clipped programme www.sonnox.com Go to contents... -

2.6 Mixing with the Oxford Inflator 2 OPERATION signals can be rendered musical in nature. This can be used to produce artistic distortion effects on single instruments within a mix or produce dynamic ‘breaking up’ effects, much like that possible with valve amplifiers. Or you may just want to obtain an overall valve-like character and warmth to the sound. -
Page 11: Distortion Generation
Input clipping will dramatically change the nature of the distortion in overdrive situations and you are encouraged to experiment with the CLIP 0dB selector both on and off, and changing the order of plug-ins in the signal path. www.sonnox.com Go to contents... -
