FAQs

Oxford Inflator is designed to instantly add life, warmth, and presence to your mix. It enhances loudness and impact without squashing the dynamic range, giving your tracks more energy and excitement.

Unlike compressors and limiters that reduce dynamics, Inflator works by adding harmonics and perceived loudness. This means your mix can sound fuller, clearer, and louder without introducing pumping or distortion.

Inflator can be used on individual tracks, groups, or the master bus. It’s especially powerful for vocals, drums, and full mixes when you want more punch, warmth, or presence without losing clarity.
