Solera Description

Primarily designed for mastering and re-mastering applications Solera comes from 10-years-long cogitation about compression, dynamic, loudness.How to make a compressor, which can add loudness whilst keeping some airiness in the sound, which retains fast transients, subtle distinction and undertone ? How to make a processor that can retrieve lost dynamic ? Or just to be able to add contrast, to increase low-level ambiance or to sharpen the sound etc. How can we imagine processing the dynamic without taking into account the sound Level ? How to compress the sound steadily without losing the "nuance" and pumping ? And so on.Solera tries to answer all these questions. Solera is the flagship of the Flux:: Dynamic Processor family. It is primarily designed for mastering and re-mastering applications. However, it can also be used as a regular dynamic processor for superior sonic quality and distortion free operations.Solera implements 4 different detectors and envelop generators in parallel and simultaneously: compressor, expander, de-compressor, and de-expander which can all be independently switched on or off and implement an activity display next to their controls. Here are some key features of "Solera": · 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. Limitations: · 2 channels maximum processing (mono or stereo). · 1 FS (32, 44.1, 48 Khz). · No properties (parameters) published to the Host software. So your settings will not be saved in the host software project (composition). · No Automations (so No Control surface supported). · No presets Save/Recall, Import/Export (only factory preset can be loaded). · This version is not time bombed but after one hour of audio processing or UI utilization all the user interface controls will be disabled. The sound will still be processed, allowing you to continue working normally on your project but you will not be able to modify the settings until you restart the plug-in. What's New in This Release: · Fix for Logic 8 · Mono problem for DP
