Whether you’re adding subtle depth or making a track explode with intensity, the Inflator brings an undeniable presence, warmth, and power to your mix—all without squashing dynamics or adding unwanted distortion. It delivers results other plugins can only hope to imitate.

    Very Effective for Dialogue

    Posted by James Slack-Smith on 6th Dec 2024

    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.

    Inflator

    Posted by Dave Scott on 29th Nov 2024

    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.
