Spectra'phy is a "mastering grade" look-ahead brickwall limiter that utilizes the principals of mechanical physics for audio processing. The method employed allows the mastering engineer to achieve maximum perceived "loudness" transparently without ever getting overshoots (Digital-overs) with minimum audible distortion. The characteristics of the final audio can quickly be adjusted to taste with only two rotary-dials. The drive / color dial component also allows the addition of analog saturation when "running hot", this can be disabled if not required.
Crysonic claims that what makes Spectra'phy's process unique is the "novel" approach used for its dynamic signal analysis. Internally Spectra'phy utilizes a special physics engine to accurately simulate multiple response signals to maximize the perceived signal volume and to also "brick wall" upper limit to peak set levels. Final response curve is computed on the analysis of multiple simulations each having different characteristics that are driven mainly by incoming transient signals concurrently. This approach apparently tends to produce a more natural sound, almost completely eliminating the risk of introducing audible nonlinear distortion.
Main features:
- Physics based Peak Limiting.
- Maximum transparent loudness.
- Look-ahead Brickwall limiting with no overshoots (Digital-overs).
- Variable Limiter mode (Analog / Physical - Digital / Current).
- Elasticity - Limiter Transient (Peak) response strength / Speed.
- Saturation / Drive Dial.
- VST Automation for all parameters.
- Gain reduction and RMS meters.
- 64-bit internal precision.
- 24bit/96Khz audio support.
- Optimized custom DSP code.
- Suitable for Mastering, Mixing and Tracking.

CRY 'Q is a semi-parametric 10-band vintage inspired EQ with "volume preserving" technology. Inspired by Vintage EQ 's, CRY 'Q attempts to capture and recreate, as close as possible, the sound and character from some of the most popular classic EQ's in the past. It combines this with an intuitive user interface and a "volume-preserving" feature that enables the user to hear what the EQ section is doing without a significant boost or cut in the perceived loudness. CRY 'Q can be used for recording, mastering, mixing, restoration, audio post production and track sweetening. ... [more]
Based on 'Aural Acoustic' principals newB is a bass enhancer and maximizer VST plug-in that can be used to apply from subtle to extreme bass enhancement and generation during Mastering, Mixing, Tracking and Live performance. newB increases the perceived amount of bass by adding / mixing specific sub-harmonic content from the original bass, thereby allowing our brains to hear lower-frequencies than may exist in the original audio material. The newB process conceptually enhances the bass performance of high and low quality consumer speaker systems ranging from Hi-fi to multimedia speakers found... [more]
nXtasy provides the same multi-octave harmonic enhancement ability found in Crysonic's multi-purpose mastering plug-in Spectra' Q by adding harmonic content to fundamental frequencies and enabling warm tube saturation. nXtasy can be used through out the entire chain of music production from tracking and live use to mixing and final mastering. The primary ability of nXtasy is to add multi-octave harmonics and induce warm vintage tube-saturation effects. It is especially potent enhancing and adding punch and clarity to bass / low frequency tracks as well as enhancing any sound lacking or low in ... [more]
