Flux:: has announced the release of BitterSweet Pro, which they describe as The Ultimate Frequency Dependent Transient Designer. Here's the story in their own words...

BitterSweet Pro v3, Frequency Dependent Transient Designer, is built around a new improved design of the algorithm found in Flux:: acclaimed freeware transient processor, BitterSweet, used by hundreds of thousands of users all over the world.

One of the main features of BitterSweet Pro is the "Frequency Dependent" Transient Processing, providing the ability to process only a certain part of the frequency spectrum making it act just like a dynamic equalizer driven by Transients and/or Sustain.

In addition, Transients and Sustain can be amplified or attenuated simultaneously or individually, and it can process either all components (Main) in one, or process the Mid (Center) or the Side (Stereo) parts of the sound independently by encoding the material with its internal MS encoder, process it, and then decode it back to stereo again.

To retain control of the signal, even under extreme processing, a soft clipper is provided at the very last stage of the processing path carefully rounding the edges of the clipped peaks for a smoother clipping.

This fundamental design makes it a genuinely easy task to perform powerful level-independent transparent shaping of the sound spectrum using BitterSweet Pro.

Compatibility
BitterSweet Pro supports all major plug-in platforms; AU, VST, AAX NATIVE, AAX DSP, AAX AudioSuite, Waves WPAPI and Merging VS3 (available through Merging Technologies only) in 32 & 64 bits under Windows and Mac OS X.
