Initial Audio

Dynamic Eq is a parametric equalizer with multi-band compression features.

Each band has a built-in compressor, precise frequencies can be dynamically cut or boosted by setting the threshold. A level meter is available for each band with a marker showing the current threshold level. This gives a level of control over the frequencies in your mix that is not possible with a standard equaliser. This feature is very useful for de-essing or reducing resonant frequencies dynamically.

Dynamic Eq can be used as a standard equaliser for your day to day needs, when you need more control, the transparent compression algorithm can be used to tame or boost specific frequencies.

Dynamic Eq is designed to be intuitive and super simple to use.

With a sleek and modern design, Dynamic Eq was made for the modern-day producer. It’s all about the visual feedback, you won’t have to rely on your ears alone. The movement of the main Eq curve shows clearly which frequencies are being boosted or cut. The level meter gives a clear view of how loud a particular band is, while the frequency analyser gives an accurate overview of all the prominent frequencies in your mix.

Dynamic Eq comes in VST, AU and AAX format and is compatible with all major DAWs such as FL Studio, Logic Pro, Reason, Cubase, Pro Tools, Machine, Ableton and more.

Choose Your Scheme

Dynamic Eq comes with plenty of colour schemes to choose from. Initial Audio spent hours picking the perfect colours for each individual scheme which give this EQ its striking and modern look. Pick a colour scheme that suits you.

Precise And Intuitive EQ

The Eq is a fundamental tool in every step of audio production. It has to be reliable, precise and intuitive! Dynamic Eq represents the real signal and eq curves, no approximations as many other equalizers do in order to save resources or to have visual benefits. This however does not mean that this Eq is CPU expensive, it uses low CPU resources and can be processes on each of your channels with ease.

Dynamic Eq allows up to 16 bands each with its own built in compressor. The compressor used is our IA LA1 compressor which has a super transparent algorithm and introduces no distortion or artefacts even when forced to work extremely hard

Built In Preset Manager

Dynamic Eq comes with many presets to use as a starting point. There is also the option to save your own to easily reuse settings across other instances of the EQ.

808 BASS SYNTH

808 Studio 2 was designed for cutting edge quality 808 sub bass.

Perfect for hip hop and trap or any genre that requires a hard hitting bass synth.

With 808 studio 2 we went one step further by adding advanced features such as drag and drop modulation for advanced synthesis, and an advanced sequencer which allows overlapping notes to get that classic pitch glide effect used in trap music.

808 Studio 2 could inspire your next beat just by hitting one key.

808 Studio 2 can now also load samples, drag and drop onto the sampler or select from the many Kick and 808 samples included.

Multiple high quality and advanced effects are builtin, such as the 3 band equalizer and Analog modeled Filter, with an epic sounding Chorus which can be applied only to the high end, so the sub part stays clean.

808 Studio 2 comes with 80 presets to get you started. Modifying any sound to your liking is super easy and will sound good with little effort.

From clean sub bass, to down and dirty basses, 808 studio is the perfect bass synth for the task.

808 Studio Features

• 808 Bass Synth: Make 808 style bass and sub bass.
• Sampler: Drag and drop your own samples onto the sampler or select from the included samples.
• Sub Osc: Perfect for adding extra low end sub bass. Includes fat mode and overdrive.
• Oscillators: Two extra oscillators with their own dedicated lowpass filter.
• Sequencer: 808 studio has its own built in sequencer and comes with many sequences to get you started.
• Drag and drop modulation: Delve deeper into sound design by assigning Mod Envelopes or LFOs to almost any control.
• Effect Rack: 5 effects are available. The effects can be moved up or down in the rack. The Effects are Overdrive/Distortion, Compressor, 3 band equaliser, Chorus, and Filter containing both highpass and lowpass.
• Side chain: The side chain uses the Sample as its source and ‘ducks’ the volume of the rest of the oscillators and sub. This is useful if you have a Kick sample and you want the transient part to cut through so it hits harder.
• Preset Browser: Choose different banks, create your own banks and presets to share with others.
• Fully resizable HD interface: Drag the bottom right corner to make 808 bass synth the perfect size for your screen.

Smart Saturation

Boost X is a dynamic and smart Saturation/Overdrive plugin.

Used to make any sound warmer by adding extra harmonics.

Many other Saturation/Overdrive plugins use a static (stateless) algorithm that doesn’t change depending on the audio passed through. These effects rely on a gain boost, when the audio hits a certain threshold then Saturation is applied. They are either on or off and the amount of saturation is heavily dependent on the loudness of the audio passed into them.

Boost X is different, it reacts to the input audio and applies the perfect amount of saturation at the current loudness. This means even quiet sounds can be overdriven without any gain in loudness. Boost-X also compensates for perceived loudness, bringing the loudness down even further so you get nice rich harmonics added to your sound, without destroying the balance of your mix.

Gives your sounds a rich depth and warmth that sits well in your mix, bringing your vocals and instruments to life with a true analog warmth and feel.

Get it with Boost X – Dynamic Saturation.

Boost X Features

• Dynamic saturation – Stateful saturation which dynamically responds to the input signal.
• 16 times Oversampling – For maximum aliasing repression and highest quality sound.
• 7 Saturation types.
• Large amount knob for fine control.

IA-LA1 Compressor Plugin

Our IA-LA1 compressor plugin is designed to be super responsive. It comes with a transparent algorithm that introduces no distortion or artefacts. But if coloration is required we have the THD control, which introduces a gentle dynamic distortion adding extra warmth and depth.

IA-LA1 comes with accurate level meters and a gain reduction meter giving a clear visual of the compression being applied. Get perfect compression in less time with our IA-LA1 compressor plugin.

IA-LA1 Compressor Plugin Features

• Automatic compression – no need to set attack and release times.
• THD – Total Harmonic Distortion, adds extra warm and depth.
• Preset manager – Save and load custom presets.
• Input gain – Push the audio louder before entering compression.
• Make up gain – Increase to compensate for any loss of loudness from the compression.
• High definition resizable GUI.

Easy Compression

IA-LA1 is a simple to use Compressor plugin. Threshold and Make up gain are the two main controls. The threshold represents the level at which compression will start to affect the audio. Anything over the threshold is compressed, which reduces the dynamic range of the audio. The threshold is shown as an orange line on the input meter, compression will start to happen when the audio level goes above this line. Now use the Make up gain to compensate for any loss in loudness. That’s it! Get perfect compression every time with just these two controls. No need to set an attack or release like on many other compressors.

Introducing Slowmo by Initial Audio.

SlowMo slows down your mixes, instruments, vocals and even effect channels by 100% in realtime. Playback everything in half-speed with this easy to use effect plugin for windows and mac.

Especially in modern productions such as hiphop and trap half speed has become a common effect. SlowMo’s built in oversampling makes sure the half speed version of your audio sounds as high quality as possible.

The easy to use interface can be resized seamlessly to make it look great in every resolution in your DAW.

Features:

• Turn the effect on or off.
• Set the loop time, which can be 1/2 bar, 1,2,4 or 8 bars.
• Dry/Wet to mix the effect with the original audio.

PRESS REWIND

Reverse rewinds your mixes, instruments, vocals and even effect channels with up to 4 bars of length.

Playback everything reversed with this easy to use effect plugin for windows and mac. Especially in modern productions such as Hiphop, Trap and EDM reverse can be a very interesting effect for instrument patterns and arrangement purposes to spice up your productions.

The mix knob allows you to blend between the dry and wet signal. Reverse comes with a easy to use interface and can be resized seamlessly to make it look great in every resolution in your daw.

Anyone Can Master!

Master Suite by Initial Audio is a Mastering plugin for windows and Mac and comes in VST and AU format.

With Master Suite mastering becomes as easy as 1-2-3. Simply adjust the loudness and finalize your track with the 3 band equalizer and stereo image controls.

Sending out Songs and Instrumentals to clients, record labels, online stores and streaming services requires them to have a industry standard loudness in order to have a state of the art sound.

The LUFS display indicates a industry standard loudness by turning green and warns you when you start getting too loud.

An intelligent algorithm applies the right amount of limiting and compression which can be controlled with soften and mix. The HD interface looks clean, feels great and can be seamlessly resized to match your screen resolution.

Features:

• THD: Total Harmonic Distortion, this can ‘fatten’ up the master and help increase the perceived loudness.
• Loudness: Increase or decrease the loudness of your master in decibels. Uses an intelligent compression and limiting algorithm to ensure maximum loudness with minimal distortion.
• LUFS Meter: The LUFS meter (Loudness Units relative to Full Scale) is an industry standard representation of perceived loudness. The meter goes green when in the ‘sweet’ zone of a loud master without over compressing the dynamics of your mix.
• Soften: This softens the compression curve, also known as a ‘soft knee’.
• Mix: Mix the compressed audio with the original. If you are pushing the loudness hard and the master is sounding over compressed with a loss of dynamics, this control can help restore some dynamics while still keeping the master loud.
• Analog: Changes the frequency response of master suite to sound more Analog.
• 3 Band Equalizer: Cut or boost the low, mid and high frequencies by up to 6dB.
• Stereo Image: The Mono control works by making the audio completely mono below the set frequency. This can help to tighten up the low end and ensure it is coming only from the center of the stereo field. The Stereo control enhances the stereo field for the frequencies only above the mid range, leaving the lower frequencies untouched. This can be used to add extra ‘space’ in the master by pushing instruments even wider in the stereo field.
• Ceiling: Sets the maximum loudness for peaks. Your master will not go louder than this.

Quality Algorithmic Reverb Plugin

AR1 is an algorithmic reverb plugin designed to sound great on all types of instruments. AR1 sounds amazing on Pianos, Bells, Guitars, and Vocals, but also on more synthetic sounds like Synthesizer leads.

We have tweaked and tested for thousands of hours to get this sounding just right for any sound source you care to throw at it.

A Reverb plugin is used to make instruments sound like they are being played in a real place (Hall, Stadium etc) , an algorithmic (ie realtime) reverb has to recreate this very convincingly or it will just sound “wrong” or fake.

AR1 Reverb gives you the ability to create a space of your liking with very simple to use controls. We want this to be your go to plugin for quality reverberation.

AR1 sounds great and is easy to use with a high definition interface that is pleasing to work with.

AR1 Reverb Features

• Early Size: This controls the distance or size for any early reflections.
• Early Level: Controls how much of an effect the Early size control has on the overall sound of the reverb.
• Size: Increases the size of the reverb space, also has the effect of making the reverb tail last longer.
• Width: Stereo width, at 0% the reverb will be completely mono, losing all stereo information. At 100% the reverb sounds as wide as possible in the stereo field.
• Pre delay: AR1 reverbs response is delayed by the pre delay amount in milliseconds. This can give the effect of an even larger space or just sound more natural. Reflections of sound usually takes some time to reach the ear. Set the exact amount with pre delay.
• Bandwidth: Reduces the amount of high frequencies in the reverb. This would make the reverb sound ‘softer’ , think being in a space with soft furnishings and carpets, as opposed to say a kitchen or bathroom with lots of hard surfaces.
• Damping: This controls how fast the high frequencies in the reverb dissipate over time. More damping will make the reverb sound softer and the overall reverb will appear to decrease in volume faster too. High damping means the reverb is absorbed very quickly by the room and doesn’t reverberate as much.
• Modulation: Adds a little pitch modulation to the reverb tail.
• Mix: Controls how much of the original audio is mixed with the reverberation. Set to 100 wet to get only the AR1 Reverb tail.

Dynamic Delay Plugin

Dynamic Delay is exactly what it says, a Dynamic Delay Plugin. It has an internal side chain which ducks the loudness of the generated delays. Once the input audio goes below the threshold the delays can be heard clearly. This is a trick many professional producers use, but takes time to set up in your signal chain and usually requires a separate side chain compressor. Dynamic Delay brings this technique into one easy to use plugin saving time and money.

Side chaining is a very useful mixing technique, allowing sounds to punch through the mix while making others more silent. Dynamic Delay is particularly good on vocals allowing the vocal to really shine through and not compete for space with the delayed vocal. The silence between the vocal can be filled with a nice delay, leaving the original vocal clean and unaffected by the delay.

Dynamic Delay Plugin Features

• Dynamic Delay – Set the threshold at the level you want to start hearing the delays.
• High quality effects – Lowcut, Highcut, Detune, Reverb and Distortion.
• Stereo delay – Set different rates and feedback amounts for left and right channels..
• High definition resizable GUI.

High Quality Effects

The delays produced are enhanced with our high quality build in effects that apply only to the delayed sound. These are Lowcut, Highcut, Reverb, Detune and Distortion.

Dynamic Delay has a built in one knob Reverb based on a simplified version of our AR1 Reverb. Detune is our unique algorithm that adds pitch variation to each delay, this adds a more organic and pleasing sound to the delays.

The Distortion is based on our Boost-X Saturation adding dynamic saturation to the delays, this makes the delays standout by adding extra harmonics.

The lowcut and Highcut are 36dB Analog modelled filters cutting unwanted high or low frequencies.

Easy To Use Plugin

Dynamic Delay is easy to use, get the perfect delay in less time that ever before. Dynamic Delay is Stereo, allowing independent control of the left and right channels.

Create complex sounding delays with individual timings and feedback amounts for each channel.
