Renowned BBE Sound — Now in Plug-in Form!
The Sonic Maximizer and some of BBE Sound's other hardware tools have been secret weapons in the hands of countless studio engineers for decades. The BBE Sonic Sweet V4 now brings the coveted BBE sound to a convenient plug-in format. Each of Sonic Sweet V4's four included plug-ins is designed to quickly and cleanly enhance your audio with mix-ready sparkle, excited harmonics, a fuller low end, and air-moving loudness enhancement. These plug-ins have been redesigned from the ground up with optimized CPU usage in mind — even if you're running these on an older system, you'll have no trouble getting multiple instantiations across your project. Best of all, BBE Sonic Sweet V4 plug-ins are fun to use and fast to dial in. And with input and output knobs on each plug-in, gain staging is never a problem. Whether you're tracking, mixing, or mastering, BBE's Sonic Sweet V4 has the tools required to give your audio that pro-level polish.

Includes Four Essential Plug-ins
D82 Sonic Maximizer
The BBE Sonic Maximizer is legendary for its much-used (and oft-abused) instrument- and mix-hyping sound. What was once designed as a tool to correct time arrival and phase alignment in a live mix has enjoyed a career as a smiley-face facilitator on everything from guitars and drums, synth, and even full mixes. The Sonic Sweet V4's D82 Sonic Maximizer brings the best characteristics of these hardware to your DAW in a simple-to-use, low-CPU exciter. Whether you want to add some "woof" to a guitar cab, some sparkle to a cymbal, some penetration to a bass guitar, or even some tonal balance to a mix or master, the D82 Sonic Maximizer will do it for you.
H82 Harmonic Maximizer
Like your favorite saturation plug-ins, the H82 Harmonic Maximizer helps you add depth and dimension to a source by enhancing its low- and high-order harmonics. But unlike saturators, the H82 lets you punch up your mix or stems without crunching up your dynamics. Use it in conjunction with the D82 Sonic Maximizer to really give your music that desired in-your-face polish.
L82 Loudness Maximizer
Some music just sounds better when it's moving air. The multiband L82 Loudness Maximizer gives your mix or master that professional-sounding "squash" without squeezing the life out of it — although it can certainly accomplish that if that's your jam! Unlike other limiter plug-ins, the L82 is fast and easy to dial in — just a few knobs are all that stand between you and a bangin' mix or master.
Mach 3 Bass
The newest addition to the Sonic Sweet plug-in lineup is Mach 3 Bass: a low-end exciter that's tailor-made to boost your bass frequencies in just the right way. Here at Sweetwater, we recommend Mach 3 Bass for synth bass, kick drums, and EDM tracks — and on any source that calls for enhancing and rounding out the bottom end. Like the rest of the tools comprising Sonic Sweet V4, the Mach 3 Bass is easily tweakable to give your track the thump you're searching for.
