Precision, Power, and Prismatic Possibilities: Intensity 2 Arrives
With its first iteration, Zynaptiq’s Intensity plug-in introduced a multimode suite of audio processing that’s anchored in tech typically found in, of all things, facial recognition software, for a mélange of mixing, mastering, and sound design possibilities. Intensity 2 builds on those foundations with Zynaptiq sparing no effort to guarantee this would be a worthy successor. Intensity 2 coaxes out a sound’s native, hidden detail, optimizes its perceived density and loudness, and adds unbelievable amounts of clarity. Operated, essentially, with one control, Intensity 2’s proprietary algorithm carves out vital signal features, rendering sounds that are authentically true to themselves. Between the algorithm and a switchable soft-knee saturating limiter at the output stage, Intensity 2 also shines at achieving maximum loudness and creating a brilliantly impactful tone. And with a slew of additions including new algorithms, expanded channel-count support, more-than-doubled bias curve presets, and supercharged processing capabilities, Sweetwater’s studio scholars agree that Intensity 2 takes sonic contouring to inspiring heights of creative potential, waiting to be discovered in your next project.

What’s new with Intensity 2?
Zynaptiq endowed Intensity 2 with an immensely expanded aural aperture, imbuing your workflow with voltaic versatility. The company’s custom-engineered minimum phase filter bank paved the way for the development of two new algorithms: Crystal and Bronze. Each brings distinct shades of processing possibilities that include invigorated transients and high-flashpoint fury that are yours to wield. Moreover, the optional 64-bit processing massively reduces the load on your CPU; coupled with near-zero latency, you’ll engage your creative impulses at warp speed. Plus, for those who prefer the V1 algorithm, it’s now available as a dedicated Smooth setting. Additionally, Intensity 2 introduces 16-channel support and mid-side processing for enhanced stereo-image immersion and multidimensional sound design. Finally, compared with the 10 options found on its predecessor, Intensity 2 features 22 total Bias Curve presets.
