preFIX is a pre-mixing and audio alignment tool which typically takes place upfront the mixing process. It provides a clever tool set to clean-up, fix and align audio tracks (typically taken from recordings) concerning overall frequency correction, phase alignment, spatial stereo field corrections and routing. It contains a complete gate/expander solution with a dedicated and comprehensive sidechain filtering path as well.

Features:

Main audio path filter
  • Baxandall style shelving filter with pristine audio quality
    Smooth butterworth high- and lowpass filter with switchable characteristics (12 and 24dB per octave)
    Both are oversampled and match their analog model curve behavior
Sidechain path EQ and filter
  • Whole spectrum "tilt style" balancing filter with adjustable center frequency
    Smooth butterworth high- and lowpass filter with switchable characteristics (12 and 24dB per octave)
    A dedicated parametric peaking EQ
    Internal/external sidechain switchable
    Sidechain listening option
Gate/Expander
  • Adjustable threshold between -80 and +6dBFS
    Freely adjustable knee from hard- to soft-knee behaviour up to 1:2 downward expander mode
    Range limiting option (floor)
    Channel link switchable
    Envelope follower section with attack, hold and release control
    Attack timing features console style peak timings as well as two rms modes
    Additional gate pre-open timing option
Phase alignment
  • Analog style stepless signal phase corrections
    Detailed options for adopting phase response curve regarding polarity, frequency center and width
    Additional digital signal delay option
    Phase control switchable to channel 1, 2 or both
Advanced control
  • Detailed output channel routing with six different modes
    Stereo image rotation option visually supported by a goniometer
    Output level control with special mono mode to mix in channel 1 and 2
preFIX is a Windows x32 freeware release for VST compatible applications and is available now. The download is available via my Blog - just have a look here: http://varietyofsound.wordpress.com/201 ... 0-out-now/

I don't know what it does. But I want it. :D

Looks excellent. Hoping it can take care of some pesky phase alignment issues. ;)

Any chance we get in simple words what this does? :D (mainly the phase alignment part, the others I get)

so... two long days of waiting...

Bootsie you are the man and I have not hesitated to refer people to your plugins.

FYI I have used your plugins on artists like Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Member Ronnie Spector as well as Jim Jones, it sounds nothing short of incredible.

Please continue your great work, I have every intention of continuing to use your great products on each and every mix I engineer.

Please feel free to contact me at

If you ever need a beta tester.

Thanks again for the great work, I can't wait for a chance to try out pre fix I have a vocal session I received that has phase issues on the lead vocals to the point where they never quite fit into the mix (always disjointed even when flipping phase). Hopefully prefix can help with these issues like the Little Labs IBP claims to.

this looks useful (and beautiful too :))
can't wait to check it out.

I don't know if this has been asked before, but is there any chance for x64 distributions in the future?

Cheers,

Now this gui sure looks different. Not as "in your face" 3D like the most recent ones, more like Cel-Shading.

I do like the free phase correction. Usually you only see 180 degrees, sometimes even 90, but not free.

Is the digital delay in samples or MS?
Did you use internal oversampling again? If so, 4x or 8x this time? Just to guess how strong the CPU usage will be.


Will definitely come in handy pre BootEQmkII or NastyVCS.

Can somebody tell me what this plugin might be used for?

It looks like this plugin might be more a tool for badly recorded tracks. So, if I'm just tracking into my DAW with my audio interface and using VSTi's, I don't think I'll need this one too much?
