The Oxford Inflator is a unique process that can provide an increase in the apparent loudness of almost any program, without obvious loss of quality or audible reduction of dynamic range, yet avoiding damaging increases in the peak level of the signal. The Oxford Inflator process can also bring power, presence, and warmth to program material and even provide headroom overload margin above digital maximum with a subtlety and musical character reminiscent of tube systems. Add the Oxford Inflator to your plug-in arsenal and see what you've been missing!

Sonnox Oxford Inflator Native at a Glance:
  • Maximum loudness
  • Multi-purpose tool

Maximum loudness
No matter how limited, compressed and crushed your program may already be the Inflator will provide even more loudness, it will even add volume to a full-scale white noise signal or add musicality to previously clipped signals! The Oxford Inflator was developed in response to requests from mixing and mastering engineers who are required to compete on the basis of the overall apparent loudness of their final results.

Multi-purpose tool
Use the Oxford 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. Use it on single instruments to add presence, softness and depth, or use it on percussion and drum tracks to produce amazing dynamic presence, tightness and volume.

Sonnox Oxford Inflator Native Features:
  • RTAS, AU, and VST operation
  • Increases the loudness of almost any program material.
  • Creates warmth, character and dynamic excitement, similar to that of analog systems.
  • Provides virtual headroom above digital maximum to allow percussive peaks to pass without causing signal overload.
  • Creates artistic effects ranging from subtle tube-like harmonic characteristics for warmth, presence and 'in your face' fatness, to outright saturation distortion modelling.
  • Features two modes of operation - direct and band split - for maximum flexibility and artistic creativity. These two modes also ensure optimal DSP usage.

Add magic to your mixes with Sonnox's Oxford Inflator Native!

It's hard to describe what exactly is happening when you engage this plugin, but you'll love the results. I use this on all my mixes now, usually inserting it right before a loudness maximizer.

It increases the perceived loudness and you consequently don't have to dial in as much on your maximizer to get the results you want.
Haven't used it on individual tracks yet but I can see how it would help bring out an instrument that's fighting for a spot in your mix. Try it, you'll like it! close [-]

A really great option to breathe life into a track/instrument...anything. The boost is similar to compression but it's not compression. The curve can add great warmth or crispier highs.

A nice plug...It gives you a nice volume-thickness push without the edge or you can push it hard and get an edge. I'd recommend it.

Sweetwater Advice

Ben Robinson
The Sonnox Oxford Inflator makes you feel like a mastering engineer. Only four sliders, but they make such a big difference! It's the closest thing I've found to a "magic button" for a mix.
Brad Every
I've found this plug-in breathes new life into any mix. The way it enhances the mix and brings the overall level up without distortion can only be described as magic. I now use it on every mixdown!
