Voxengo is pleased to introduce the next major version of PC VST
plug-in called Soniformer. This plug-in is an innovative mastering tool for
DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) that allows the user to form and reform the
sonic structure of any sound material.
The main idea behind Soniformer is a spectral balance. A perfectly
balanced mix can be seen on a spectrum analyzer as a smooth spectral curve
with minimal number of peaks and notches. There can be some deviations from
this rule, but generally it always applies. Soniformer uses compression to
adjust the spectral balance of any sound material being processed in a way
that its spectral curve fulfills the aforementioned rule. Thus, Soniformer
could also be called a spectral compressor.
Every parameter of Soniformer is defined by means of a graphic envelope
which is freely-modifiable and which may contain up to 16 control points.
Soniformer implements both compression and expansion, which allows a
variety of different sound structures to be created, including classical
tape compression, unobtrusive bass expansion, and general mix compression.
And it all sounds pristine! One could say that Soniformer brings a
classical warm analog compression to a digital workstation. This is true,
because even at very subtle compression settings, Soniformer brings a
strong feel of a professionally balanced mix. In fact, Soniformer allows
the user to perform professional sounding mastering in a budget environment.
Spectral balance is almost a universal thing, and every mastering engineer has
to master it, while Soniformer brings it the easy way. Soniformer's
adjustments of the spectral balance actually reveal details of the mix
being processed.

Voxengo is pleased to introduce a new PC VST plug-in called Soniformer. This plug-in is an innovative mastering tool for DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) that allows the user to form and reform the sonic structure of any sound material. Many of our tests at Voxengo have revealed that even a professionally mastered audio track can be adjusted by Soniformer, resulting in a new level of sonic excellence.
The main idea behind Soniformer is a spectral balance. A perfectly balanced mix can be seen on a spectrum analyzer as a spectral curve with a downward slope towards the high end. There can be some deviations from this rule, but generally it always applies (at least the higher frequencies are usually less powerful than lower frequencies). Soniformer uses compression to adjust the spectral balance of any sound material being processed in a way that its spectral curve fulfills the aforementioned rule. Thus, Soniformer could also be called a spectral compressor.

Voxformer is a multi-functional vocal channel strip plug-in in PC VST
format. Combining several professional quality processing modules, Voxformer
was designed to be a comprehensive solution for all your vocal processing
needs - be it a spoken or a sung vocal performance.
The coolest feature of Voxformer is its one-knob vocal compressor.
Using only a single knob you can get a tight, open and definitive
professional vocal sound in no time. You do not have to worry about
common ratio, release, attack and make-up gain controls since they are
automatically selected by the advanced compression algorithm. Moreover,
Voxformer features two compressors of this type allowing you to apply either a
two-band or a two-stage (serial) vocal compression. For two-band compression
Voxformer splits the audio signal into two spectral parts, by means of a
switchable crossover filter.
Voxformer also features a de-esser with switchable center frequency,
threshold and ratio. Noise gate is also available. This noise gate--in a
manner similar to a compressor--was designed to bring the easiness of tuning
while providing excellent sonic results. For those who like the saturated
vocal sound Voxformer implements a special saturation module which applies a
smooth vintage saturation. Another useful thing Voxformer has to offer is the
presence boosting module which you can use to add some shine and space to the
vocals.
To simplify the control over these processing modules Voxformer implements
residue listening which allows you to hear what gets removed during de-essing
and noise gate operation, and what is being added by the presence module.
As a finishing touch, Voxformer offers you a flexible 4-band equalizer
(pre/post selectable) with a real-time output stage fast Fourier transform
(FFT) spectrum analyzer display. Each equalizer band can be switched to a
parametric, low-shelf, high-shelf, low-pass or a high-pass filtering mode.
