It’s doesn’t do it a unique way. It’s a basic sin waveshaper, no dynamics involved whatsoever. Plenty of basic waveshpers out there that can exactly, perfectly null with Inflator. It’s a basic saturator very well marketed by Sonnox.
Truth. When it came out at the time it was a big fucking deal and was a cheap software solution when the loudness wars began. but now quality waveshapers are everywhere. Ableton's own Saturator device on the Soft Sine setting will null with Inflator set to max effect. And there's the Melda waveshaper trick, a kid made a FL Studio rack that nulls, and someone made a Reaper JSFX version and then someone made a VST of that. Plus a lot of these other ones have oversampling which the original Inflator doesn't. I don't think they null in multiband mode, not all at least. but most sound exactly the same or better.
@@LarryZinc pro q3 is amazing. I demoed it a few years ago and was blown away by the level of flexibility and versatility. Yet, the oxford eq continues to work for me, so it remains the only EQ I use. haha.
Thanks so much, I agree, it's a killer tool to have! I believe Band Split breaks up the audio into a few different frequency bands and applies the effect to the bands separately, which has a little more of a multiband clarity feel! I don't use it much, but I should have demonstrated it - I will next time! Welcome and glad you're enjoying the channel :)
I love ur mixing guide its been well-designed. Keep making a difference bruh.
Thanks so much, I'm glad to hear it and appreciate that!
@audioedges I'm actually a female producer but I forgive u😅💃🏽
@@NUANCEZONRISE Whoops, my mistake! The bruh got me haha. So glad to have you here! :)

Everything from Sonnox has always been a high-end and best kept engineers secrets.
Basically everything from Oxford was top notch and still is IMO.
I use their parametric eq, inflator and limiter almost on every project. Well said....
@@esongsore I still use the Inflator. EQ wise, I have moved to the Pro-Q3 as my main third party EQ.

@@esongsore I mean if it works, it works.
I love the Pro Q-3 for the EQ match and gain compensation function. Super intuitive!
"best kept engineer secret" that has multiple RUclips videos about it and top engineers mentioning it in interviews 🤣
Great Video. It’s my secret weapon as well mate. Have you figured out what the Band split mode does?

Thank you so much for the great information.
Glad you enjoyed the video! :)

Is this plugin just a simplified mid side limiter?
No it's an overdrive if I remember correctly
It's a basic sine waveshaper, you can completely replicate it and even null it with FL's free waveshaper.
It aliases like f**k bro
That's never been an issue for me!
@@audioedges you'd be better using the Sonnox Limiter. Practically the same effect, no aliasing.
