    Old but gold

    This plugin is old but still very usable wave shaper. It effortlessly excites tracks without changing the character of the sound and staying neutral. Reading the manual is recommended.

    A little magical and very efficient

    Now I understand its reputation. I guess it does a combination of operations, but the result is fantastic.

    SONNOX OXFORD INFLATOR NATIVE – The Magic Loudness Button

    ⭐ 5/5 – "How did I ever mix without this?"

    What It Does:

    ✔ Perceptual loudness boost – Adds punch & presence without clipping or distortion.

    ✔ Secret weapon – The "Curve" control alone can make tracks sound "expensive."

    ✔ Zero latency – Perfect for mastering or even tracking.

    Why It’s Unique:

    Unlike limiters, it preserves dynamics while making things feel louder.

    The "Harmonic" knob adds subtle warmth (great for sterile digital mixes).

    Cons:

    ❌ Not a limiter – Pair it with one for final peak control.

    ❌ GUI feels dated – But who cares when it sounds this good?

    Best For:

    Mastering engineers who want loud but natural results.

    Mixers needing that "radio-ready" polish on vocals or buses.

    Verdict:

    One of the few plugins that actually does something unique. If you want your mixes to jump out without squashing them – this is cheat mode.
