Zen Series DSP Plugins

Zen Punchifier takes a digital-first approach to managing transients in audio, to make your tracks or mixes more up-front and “in-your-face”.

It subtlely, transparently, reduces the volume of transients above a threshold using a unique algorithm that minimizes artifacts.

This plugin offers eight bands of dynamics processing, taking the unique, digital-first approach of selecting a separate, mathematical dynamics curve to be applied to each adjustable frequency band.

This plugin combines a simple, no-frills subset of the features of some of our other plugins into a simple-to-use mastering suite that makes your mix sound polished and finished with a few simple tweaks.

Unlike plugins such as Logic’s “Mastering Assistant”, you can individually enable or disable each processing step, giving you full control of how your audio is processed.

Features

• Bass Cohesion - enhances and brings consistency to low frequencies, giving your mix a solid “big bottom”
• Detail - enhances midrange frequencies, bringing out detail and clarity
• Sparkle - enhances high frequencies, bringing out the shimmer of cymbals and opening up the mix
• Limiter - a gain-compensating limiter that transparently limits transients and brings up the overall volume of the mix
• Parallel Compression - compresses the mix and mixes that back in, at a settable amount, to give your mix consistent dynamics and a fuller feel
• Presence - adds an optional upper-mids boost
• Mid Scoop - pulls back the midrange frequencies that can make a mix sound muddy
• Transient Taming - augments the limiter with our proprietary “punchifier” algorithm to further boost overall mix volume without sounding heavily processed or clipped

This plugin is a digital-first take on hard-limiting audio, with fine-grained control over every detail of how it gets applied to peaks in audio.

Zen Widener is a multi-band, stereo image enhancer. It works by subtracting center content from a the signal for each band. You can set the width and center point, independently, for each frequency band, and optionally invert the phase.

This plugin offers 16 adjustable bands of equalization, so you can precisely dial in exactly the adjustments you want.

Not your ordinary delay! A frequency-banded delay that can fix phase issues, or radically change the character of drum sounds, by shifting some frequencies relative to the attack!
