Two New Zynaptiq Plug-Ins

Zynaptiq has announces the immediate availability of two brand-new plug-ins, LOUD and WIDE. This is what they have to say about them...

About LOUD: Track, Bus and Master Processor

Bring your sound into a good place, quickly and easily, with LOUD. Add density and heft to your sound, shape its tone, and make it loud,
while preserving punch and presence - using a minimal, low latency & CPU signal path for maximum quality, with an extremely streamlined interface: LOUD.
Running a single, lean processing stage that combines technologies from Zynaptiq's acclaimed INTENSITY 2, PUNCH and BALANCE plug-ins with a brand new feed-back multi-band limiter, LOUD makes your master chain even better, smoothly gels buses, emboldens individual tracks, and makes location sound or designed assets fuller and richer in post & sound design. Or, jump-start your mix by simply inserting it across all your project's tracks. Audio up to 16 channels wide is supported for immersive workflows, of course.

Zynaptiq LOUD Features:
• Combines the engines of INTENSITY 2, PUNCH, and BALANCE with a multi-band limiter and
saturation into one, light-weight plug-in.
• Single processing stage for maximum quality and minimum resource use.
• Dual algorithm configurations: CLEAN and WARM.
• TONE control adaptively adjusts frequency response.
• Level compensated monitoring functionality (AGC).• Support for up to 16 channels for immersive workflows.
• 64-bit internal processing
• Stream-lined , fully vectorized GUI with zoom up to 200%.

About WIDE: Advanced Stereo Imaging & Mono-to-Stereo Upmixing

WIDE is an advanced plug-in for stereo image widening and mono-to-stereo upmixing - 100% mono-compatible, if desired. Built using Zynaptiq's patented sample accurate spectral processing technology, combined with state-of-the-art resynthesis and feature extraction, WIDE provides four unique new algorithms, three stereo-to-stereo, and one mono-to-stereo. The plug-in feature Zynaptiq's signature frequency dependent operation, a lightning fast workflow, and zynaptiq-level quality.
Unlike traditional M/S, modulation/pitch/delay fx or different EQ per channel methods, its results are virtually free of the usual limitations and artifacts - making it suitable even for critical applications like mastering. Its unique, natural sounding mono-to-stereo upmix algorithm excels at adding dimensionality to music mixing, film post/sound design, and game audio workflows.

Zynaptiq WIDE Features:
• Stereo-to-stereo image widening and mono-to-stereo upmixing plug-in.
• Four unique algorithms, 3 stereo-to-stereo and one mono-to-stereo.
• Built using advanced technologies that do not exhibit traditional issues.
• Zynaptiq-style BIAS/Hover-Menu based frequency dependent operation.
• Broadband and frequency-dependent fold-down to mono.
• 64-bit internal processing.
• Stream-lined , fully vectorized GUI with zoom up to 200%.

Specifications:
LOUD and WIDE support all common sampling rates from 44.1kHz to 192kHz, depending on available CPU resources, and run as 64-bit AAX Native, AU (Mac only), and VST 3, on macOS 10.15.x Catalina or newer, on Intel & Apple Silicon processors, and Windows 10 or newer, on Intel and AMD processors.

LOUD supports up to 16 channels of multi-mono processing for immersive workflows, WIDE comes as mono-to-stereo and stereo-to-stereo plug-ins.
