Sound Radix Auto-Align is the cure for your multi-mic blues. When you record an instrument with more than one microphone, sound reaches each mic at a slightly different time, causing certain frequencies to cancel out while others build up. The dreaded the comb filter effect. Enter Auto-Align. This cool plug-in "listens" to your multi-mic recording and automatically compensates for the delay between mics - instantly, and more efficiently than you could ever do manually. When you use distant mics and actually want a delay, Auto-Align can time-place mics to better match the source.
Pi: multi-channel phase interactions mixer plug-inThink of Sound Radix Pi as your relationship manager. Phase relationships, that is. An innovative, multi-channel phase interactions mixer plug-in engine, Pi improves the summing of your DAW or mixer, dynamically minimizing frequency cancellations between instruments within your mix. Pi also juices mono compatibility and gives you back the depth and focus you lost when overlapping frequencies collided inside your mix. Can't understand why your mixes sound so ineffectual? Pi to the rescue! Good phase relationships between tracks are a key to awesome-sounding mixes. Optimize them with Sound Radix Pi.
Drum Leveler: tame dynamics without over-compressingWe've tried out countless dynamics plug-ins at Sweetwater, but we've never tried anything quite like the Sound Radix Drum Leveler compressor/expander plug-in. Apply it to a full drum mix, and Drum Leveler processes each drum hit individually, giving you full dynamic control over each element in the mix. Its combination of compression and expansion lets you add punch to certain hits while reducing the level of unwanted noise and signal bleed. And with mono, stereo, dual mono, and mid-side processing modes, you've got impressive dynamics processing potential with the Sound Radix Drum Leveler plug-in.
SurferEQ: pitch-tracking equalizer with real-time pitch-detection engineSound Radix SurferEQ is based on a radical concept - one that makes perfect sense. Traditional equalizers are set to fixed frequency ranges, but in practice, fundamentals and the harmonic series change along with the pitch of an instrument or vocal. SurferEQ tracks the pitch of your instrument or a vocal track - and can change the EQ frequency accordingly in real time, giving you incredibly natural-sounding results. Simply set any of the bands to a desired harmonic and SurferEQ's real-time pitch-detection engine flawlessly does its thing, always relevant to the music.
