Intensity is a new kind of audio processor for mixing, mastering and sound design. Built on techniques typically found in facial recognition algorithms, Zynaptiq say Intensity brings out a sound's inherent detail, increases its perceived loudness and density, and adds what they describe as "maximum clarity".
The unique algorithm carves out important signal features – making sounds sound more like themselves – and is operated with essentially one control. Between the proprietary algorithm and an optional soft-knee saturating limiter in the plug-in's output stage, Intensity also excels at attaining maximum loudness and creating a beautifully aggressive tone.

The key Intensity features at a glance:
Intensity is equally suited for processing individual tracks like speech, SFX, instruments – including guitars, bass and piano – as well as full mixes, multi-channel film stems, drum busses, and other complex content. This makes Intensity an indispensable tool for music producers, mastering engineers, sound designers, video producers, broad-/podcasters, forensics professionals, audiophiles, or virtually anyone to quickly and easily add clarity, definition, and perceived loudness to their audio projects.
Intensity supports all common sampling rates from 44.1kHz to 192kHz depending on available CPU resources, mono, stereo, and multi-mono operation, as AAX native, AU, RTAS, VST 2.4 and VST 3, on Mac & Windows.
This is one of my most used plugins, It seems to employ AI to simplify the tweaking process to get a great result. You can take almost any well mixed audio and use this to sprinkle pixie dust and make it more enjoyable to listen to. The presets are good, 'A Little Magic" is one of the better places to start exploring. I had some 'lounge room' recordings someone had done with great musicians and woeful acoustics. I used RX10 to tame the reverb and Intensity for an instant polish. The results were really good, with a releasable set of tracks. I have found it especially useful for giving a mix with good but uninteresting vocals more presence. You can demo it for 10 days free and it is really easy to use so giving it a try is not difficult. I own everything Zynaptiq make but this is the plugin of theirs that I use on most tracks.
Read ReviewZynaptic: Serious and caring developers!
In wanting to acquire the excellent Intensity plugin, I encountered huge installation problems. After contacting the CEO, Denis Goekdag, a great guy, his entire team worked for more than a week to solve the problem, even contacting Steinberg (I'm on Cubase Pro 12) and PACE (ilock) to find a solution and they did it! Bravo to them and, Denis went so far as to offer me the Remix bundle when in fact the problem came from PACE and not Zynaptic. Total respect as their plugins are amazing. I recommend this brand that cares about its buyers.
