PSP MixPack2
PSP MixPack2 is a collection of five high-resolution, high quality
audio processors designed to improve the quality of your digital audio
tracks and mixes (VST and RTAS for Windows; AudioUnit, VST and RTAS for
MacOSX UniversalBinary). These processors were not modeled on specific
hardware analog processors, but rather on the sound and features of
many analog circuits, with the goal of designing processors that can
assist you in taming the sterility and harshness that often plagues
digitally recorded audio. Don't let the name of this bundle fool you -
while we worked hard to develop a plug-in pack that would help your
mixes shine, these plug-ins are high enough quality to be at home in
mastering or live tracking situations as well. All plug-ins utilize
64-bit double precision floating point algorithms throughout their
entire signal path and support sample rates of up to 192kHz. The kit
consists of: PSP MixBass2, PSP MixTreble2. PSP MixSaturator2,
PSP MixPressor2 and PSP MixGate2
PSP MixBass2
PSP MixBass2 is a specialized low frequency processor designed to help
you achieve punchy, analog bass sounds with your audio material. PSP
MixBass2 sounds really excellent with percussion loops, however it can
be used successfully to enhance the low end of any audio material. How
PSP MixBass2 will affect any given audio material depends on the type
of material being processed.
PSP MixBass2 features a unique low-frequency compression algorithm and
low frequency harmonics generator. There is a low-pass filter for the
control signal and a low cut filter within the signal path. Finally,
the Punch section includes a dynamically controlled filter to emphasize
or attenuate the chosen mid-range frequency dynamically according to
the low-frequency material.
PSP MixTreble2
PSP MixTreble2 offers specialized processors designed to extend the
dynamic range, sharpness, clarity, and spatiality of a signal's treble
frequencies, and spatiality of high frequencies. It can improve
definition and sound quality of complete mixes, boost characteristic
features of acoustic instruments, and revitalize archival recordings.
PSP MixTreble2 can help add presence to a track, as well as lower the
noise floor of a given track or complete mix. PSP MixTreble2
incorporates the following four processors:
* Hiss remover - designed to help decrease the amount of tape noise,
extra-auditory high frequencies or undesired reverberations in the
high frequency range;
* Stereo enhancer - increases the spatiality of processed material;
* Transient enhancer - designed for stimulating flattened transients;
* Harmonics generator - designed for widening the frequency range by
enriching the harmonics lacking in the processed signal.
Finally, PSP MixTreble2 also includes a switchable soft-clipping
algorithm which prevents the output level from exceeding 0dBFS.
PSP MixPressor2
PSP MixPressor2 is a fully-featured, high precision compressor designed
to process either whole mixes or single tracks. PSP MixPressor2 emulates
the classic characteristics of compressors with valve and opto-
electronic circuits as as classic modern compression solutions. PSP
MixPressor2 also offers a highly configurable side-chain feature. The
side-chain filter has a significant effect on PSP MixPressor2's sound
and operation. The filter also enables the user to operate the
compressor as a de-esser or to lessen the pumping effects of heavy kick
drums and the like, based on the side-chain settings. The PSP
MixPressor2 offers a wide range of features:
* a wide range of soft knee characteristics
* either peak or RMS level detection
* external or internal side chain signal with a smooth bell-type filter
* a output algorithm which can operate as either a brick wall limiter
or soft saturation algorithm to preserve peaks above 0dBFS.
PSP MixPressor2 also works very well in combination with the PSP
MixSaturator2. With the PSP MixPressor2 before the PSP MixSaturator2 in
the signal path (think of a bus compressor before a tape machine), you
can employ both plug-ins simultaneously (at subtle settings!) in order
to impart a very cohesive sound, like your mix was being produced on
expensive analog hardware. Of course, you can also reverse the order,
placing PSP MixSaturator2 before PSP MixPressor2 - never'be afraid to
experiment!
PSP MixSaturator2
PSP MixSaturator2 simulates the way that analog devices such as tape
recorders and valve circuits warm up and "saturate" your audio material.
This is achieved by adding harmonics, dedicated filtering, and dynamic
processing. PSP MixSaturator2 uses three different algorithms to
simulate these devices:
* A bass frequency processing algorithm, which adds low frequency
harmonics and increases the magnitude nonlinearities (more commonly
known as the "low frequency bump") typical of analog tape recordings
* A treble frequency processing algorithm, which simulates tape
saturation and high frequency loss at high levels without increasing
the level of distortion and aliasing.
* An overall saturation simulation algorithm, which enables the user to
choose between seven distinct non-linearity curves characteristic of
valve devices, analog tape machines, and the sound of digital
clipping.
PSP MixGate2
PSP MixGate2 is a professional quality high precision noise gate that
makes it's debut in MixPack2 (hence the "2" in the name, so its clear
that this plug-in only comes as part of MixPack2). The gate is fully
configurable and can operate fast enough for special effects (such as
"stuttering audio") and smoothly enough to gate unwanted noise without
sounding artificial.
PSP MixGate2 includes both high and low pass filters so as to tailor
the control signal. By filtering out unwanted frequencies, you can
ensure that only the desired frequency can trigger the gate.
