FLUX Mastering Pack 1.1  From FLUX

The Mastering Pack bundle contains the following plug-ins:

• Solera v3
• Pure Limiter v3
• Elixir v3
• Epure v3

Solera implements 4 different detectors and envelop generators in parallel and simultaneously.
Compressor, de-compressor, expander and de-expander which can all be independently contolled. In addition, here are some of the key features that make our plug-in the best available for dynamic processing in the digital domain :

• An analog like metering. RMS values are more useful than dB-fs when setting a dynamic processor.
• The "Angel's Share" parameter takes into account the signal for intelligent relaxation of the compressor action.
• The "Hysteresis" parameter allows compressing and de-compressing, independently of the sound level and can be mixed with the standard compression scheme.
• The Auto Release features an unique algorithm that avoids typical pumping effect.
• A delay line can be inserted in the signal path to produce a null attack time.
• The A/B Compare and Morphing section enables ultra fast and precise operations.
• Dry Mix function to achieve the full control of the dynamic processing amount.

Epure features for every section:

• Individual bypass.
• The filter type can be set to low cut, low shelving, peak, hi shelving, hi cut
• The gain be set from -24 dB to +24 dB
• The frequency range covers the whole bandwidth
• The Q factor can be adjusted from 0.1 to 1

Epure also features five unique functions to make equalization even more easy:

• Copy A and Copy B duplicate the twenty settings of a slot to the other in one click
• X2 and /2 affect the gain value for every equalizer section
• Invert turns the positive gain values to negative ones and vice versa

Epure includes internal Input /output routings. A channel group management allowing to set many channels or individual channel setting is also available from the new setup window. From this window, up to 4 MS encoders and up to 4 MS decoders can be engaged if required. Combined with our exclusive A /B morphing system, these functions enable a global and efficient control of the equalization curve in a second.

Pure Limiter is supposed to be the very last stage of your audio processing chain. It uses the exclusive FLUX technologies to generate a release envelop producing no artefact on the processed sound.
A transparent limiting dramatically increasing the average audio level can now be achieved without damaging the perceived audio quality.

As usual with the FLUX plug-ins there is no compromise between simplicity of use and the exhaustiveness of the accessible parameters. An automatic mode allows quick operations in most cases. But a manual mode and an advanced mode are also there to allow you a total control on the processing.

To make the setting even easier, the Pure Limiter also features two display modes.
When the mode A is engaged, both original and limited waveforms are displayed.
The Mode B displays the limited waveform, the limiter action and the histogram of the release value which is especially useful when running in advanced mode.

Elixir - The Premier Real True Peak Multichannel Limiter Plug-in

Elixir is a novel kind of program limiter carefully designed to accomplish a truly pure natural sounding result without altering the nature of the audio material and its timbre.

Intended to fulfil the requirements of the broadcast, post-production and mastering industry, Elixir provides real True Peak output level in accordance with the ITU-R.BS 1770 and EBU R128 norms, and for surround/multichannel operation Elixir provides up to eight channels of simultaneous processing.
