I am an independent film sound designer from Bangladesh. oh my god! what a game-changing plugin it is! don't bypass it, engineers!
Oxford Inflator is great for making dialogue sound like the speaker is closer to the listener. It quickly became an effect that I always use when processing dialogue/voice overs.
Great customer service and a product that is already proving to be an invaluable asset. Very easy to use with a range of applications, I'm confident that this was money well spent.
Fantastic tool for adding energy to your track! I use it on everything!
Really useful tool although I can’t accurately describe what it’s doing. We’ve become so accustomed to visual representations of a processors action that the absence of such visuals forces the user to focus purely on what they’re hearing. The temptation is to overuse the plugin but less is definitely more in a mix.
Long time awaited always beloved. This one make tracks huge, with a taste of analog vibe. I call it The Resurrector... See you next Black Friday lads!
