Precedence

Precedence is a psychoacoustic stereo positioning tool. It creates an organically modulating stereo-image that produces an instantaneous sense of width, depth, and presence similar to stereo microphone techniques used in acoustic spaces. It then positions this image within a virtual stage, giving mix engineers ultra precise control over left-to-right and front-to-back placement. The end result is an incredible sense of hyper-realistic 3D space and specific localization of each instrument within this space.

Precedence 1.5 introduces the Precedence Link inter-plugin communication system, Multi-Instance Editing, Edit Groups, Global Broadcast, new algorithm modes and many other extremely innovate features. These features allow Precedence and Breeze 2.5 to function as a unified Spatial Mixing Environment, achieving both an incredibly synergistic workflow as well as truly next-generation sonic results.

All combined, the system introduced with Breeze 2.5 and Precedence 1.5, which we have affectionately nicknamed PBJ, represents a new paradigm in spatial mixing. It pairs direct sound spatialization and positioning with an adaptive multi-instance reverb environment that automatically tunes itself to augment the positional imaging established by Precedence.
