With well over 100 presets (including some useful classic emulations), the reverb sounds great, and seems no more CPU-taxing than other similar plug-ins. This means a familiar structure (early reflection, reverb tail and EQ) and plenty of controls. Both sound very impressive.Īlmost an odd one out among all these dynamics processors, the Oxford Reverb shuns convolution technology in favour of a traditional artificial processor. In practical terms, Inflator is clearly aimed at the specific task of making your mixes sound loud, while the Limiter gives you loads of control, for extreme flexibility. Inflator follows the route of other maximising processors, with the emphasis being on increasing perceived loudness, while the Limiter is a more standard peak program processor. Two of the six plug-ins - Limiter and Inflator - deal with peaking signals, but in slightly different ways. Factor in the EQ sidechain option and you've got one of the most flexible dynamics plug-ins we've seen. There's also a 'warmth' processor: this gives you control of peak signals and the way they overload. With individual gate, expander, limiter and compressor processors, this is a powerful tool indeed. The Dynamics plug-in clearly also means business. It's just a shame their GML 8200 emulation option isn't included (that remains TDM only). Combine these with its precision (accurate values can be typed in if you want) and those filters, and you begin to wonder whether you'll ever need another EQ plug-in at all. In use, each style behaves very differently, meaning that the EQ has four distinct 'sounds'.
