Sonnox® Oxford Inflator
-
The professional standard for adding
power and punch — without squashing.A longtime secret weapon for audio professionals, the Sonnox Oxford Inflator does what so many dynamics processors only pretend to do — increase the apparent loudness of your mix or individual tracks, without audibly affecting sonic quality or reducing dynamic range. The Inflator can add power, warmth, and presence to your mix, providing virtual headroom above digital maximum, while maintaining musical character.
The proven answer to today’s heavily compressed, "louder-is-better" mixes, the Inflator can deliver louder mixes without the pumping and over-saturation commonly associated with compressors. So you can add loudness to even heavily squashed or compressed material, or add musicality and apparent dynamic range to previously clipped signals.Add power, presence, and tube-like warmth to mixes
Increase perceived loudness of any source, without audibly affecting sonic quality
Get virtual headroom above digital maximum, allowing percussive peaks to pass without signal overload
Use Direct and band-split modes for maximum flexibility and optimal DSP usage

It’s old … but it’s great
Whenever I need to get a bit clarity in a mix or on a track then I try to put this on and in 90% of the cases or +95% it actually works. I would love to have the native version (that’s...

Inflator is always on my mix buss. Warm rich nalog fatness.

Easy to use.
Gives that little bit extra (or even a lot) when you need/want it. Very easy to use and offers great control. Another useful tool to have in the box. Can bring its own warmth and characteristics.

My to go Plug-In since the TC Powercore (R.I.P)
The famous Sonnox Oxford Inflator I am using in every production on nearly every Channel! It is my secret weapon since 2002! I own it for the Powercore, Native and now for the UAD2. Why? Because I can! :-) No... Seriously: On Garage-Band it works only with the UAD2 Version. That's why!

Just like clipping good analog!
This thing is a must have. Often times transients are affected when you apply processing to them. The Sonnox Inflator makes them apparent once again. Peak processing in the Inflator has to have some sort of proprietary wizardry behind it, it’s amazing. Instead of getting something squashed when you push it, you get a nice dynamic inflation. It brings back so much to the mix. A formidable little machine indeed. Actually, can’t live without this one.
