iZotope has released Plasma, describing it as is the world's first intelligent tube saturator:
With groundbreaking Flux Saturation technology, Plasma adaptively enhances your tracks by applying saturation precisely where and when it's needed, ensuring a dynamic and polished sound.

Whether you're looking to quickly warm up your sound or douse your track in secret sauce, Plasma's intuitive interface and easy-to-use controls have you covered. And yes, you can use this on everything.

Key features:
