Oxford Inflator V3

The Oxford Inflator V3 from Sonnox is one of those plugins that you have to try to understand what it does; it’s not simply a straight ahead EQ or compressor.

I am liking this plugin A LOT, and I’m now using it in every episode I produce.

Here’s its description from the Sonnox webpage:

A unique and powerful Plug-In to increase loudness, without sacrificing sonic quality or dynamic range. Add power and presence to your mix without the pumping of compression, or use on individual channels to bring them forward and add weight. Perfect to help vocals cut through the mix.

When driven harder, Inflator delivers tube-like musical warmth and provides the ‘sonic glue’ you need to gel your mix together!

“Inflator is a rare Plug-In…I can’t live without it. It simply makes everything sound better…”

“Just the right amount of Inflator will breathe life into anything you run through it!
