The Oxford Dynamics plug-in is a highly sophisticated device with comprehensive control of many parameters. Therefore, to aid operation, there is separate page of controls for each process, since it would not be feasible to have all controls and displays available on a single page. Although there are four gain level controlling processes, Gate, Expander, Compressor and Limiter in the mono and stereo plug-ins, their control signals are all derived from a single side-chain detector, operating on a single gain control element.
The amount of processing necessary to allow a detector for each process would be far too great for current processor capabilities, if done correctly. The 5.1 Buss Compressor does not include gating and and expansion, but as an additionally has a Sub Filter section. Feed-Forward Architecture The type of architecture in the Oxford Dynamics uses feed-forward techniques. In this case, a tiny delay is introduced into the signal path. (The amount of delay is virtually insignificant, and can be compensated for, in order that all signal paths are aligned, in any case.) This delay allows time for the side-chain control signal to be generated so that it can coincide exactly with the signal it will control.
This technique allows very accurate control of the audio levels by generating totally precise control signals, thus preserving audio quality. Gate The gate acts like a switch, where signals below the THRESHOLD setting are attenuated, according the the RANGE control setting. This type of function is useful for suppressing unwanted background noises, such as tape hiss, where the wanted signal is well defined. Gates are very useful on drums and percussive instruments too. Once the signal reaches levels above the THRESHOLD, the gate opens allowing the signal through at full level.
When the signal level falls, it must reduce to 4dB below the THRESHOLD before the gate will close again. This is known as 4dB of hysteresis.
Increasing the ATTACK time, softens the attack 'edge', and the RELEASE sets the time for the closure take to take place. The HOLD sets the minimum time before the gate is able to close again. Expander The expander has all the same controls as the gate with the addition of a RATIO control. But whereas the gate acts like a switch, allowing the full signal through once the THRESHOLD has been reached, the expander allows the signal level to increase, according to the slope of RATIO setting. This function can be used to lower background background noises but is particularly useful for increasing the dynamic attack of any musical instruments which are percussive nature, such as drums, percussion and acoustic guitar. Compressor The compressor allows gain reduction to signals beyond the level set by the THRESHOLD according to the RATIO setting. The RATIO can be set anywhere between 1:1, where no compression takes place, and 1000:1 where virtually total limiting takes place, meaning that there is no increase in level whatsoever for signal level beyond the THRESHOLD.
The ATTACK determines how quickly the compression sets in, allowing initial transients to pass, with the longer settings, useful to pass the initial attach of percussive instruments. The RELEASE sets the time taken to recover to no gain reduction, once the signal has returned to a level below the THRESHOLD. The start of the RELEASE phase can be further delayed by increasing the HOLD control. The transfer curve of the compressor will normally show a corner at the THRESHOLD point, the transition between no gain reduction and gain reduction.
This corner can be 'smoothed' using the SOFT function which helps to 'hide' compression. When compression takes place, the overall signal is reduced at the higher levels, normally requiring the level to be 'made up' again. The MAKE-UP gain control allows for this.
Limiter The limiter is designed to set a fixed ceiling for signals according to the THRESHOLD setting. Although it does have an ATTACK control which can allow initial transients to pass, at the medium and fastest ATTACK setting, the signal can be retained so as not to exceed the THRESHOLD. This is achieved with 'feed forward - look ahead' techniques and allows initial attack transients to be significantly modified without breaching the THRESHOLD setting. Limiters were originally designed to prevent transmission systems being overloaded but are often used as artistic tools too. The ATTACK, HOLD and RELEASE behave in a similar manner to those of the compressor, but have different ranges. Side-Chain EQ The side-chain equalizer is a fully parametric 2 band section. Its main purpose is to allow modification of the frequency response of the side-chain signal path for functions such as 'de-essing'.
It is possible to use it in the main signal path alone as an additional 2 band equalizer, or it can be used in the side-chain alone, or for both the signal path and side-chain combined. Warmth The AMOUNT control allows the addition of harmonically related signal with a tube or electronic valve like characteristics. Signal increases of up to 6dB can be achieved within the audio, but without going over the digital maximum.

Bass Guitar & Mix Buss I couldn't really afford to buy the Sonnox Limiter, even at the low sale price of $129, but I was mixing a metal tune, and I couldn’t get the bass to sit right. In my search for a solution, I activated my demo and opened the preset ”Distortion 2”.
Two minutes later with a few tweaks, the bass was sitting pretty. It is now my first choice for limiting the bass sub region. As a bonus, I was watching an Andrew Scheps workshop and saw that he uses this limiter on his master buss in the same position where I normally use Sonnox Inflator. When comparing the limiter and the Inflator on the buss, I find the Inflator has an edgier, grungier nature and the limiter, with its “Enhance” feature, is relatively clean.
Now I can choose which tool to use depending on the nature of the project. I even used both, passing the Inflator into the limiter on a recent mastering project. I am happy with my purchase.
The Oxford Limiter from Sonnox is a limiter native based plug-in that provide a very high degree of quality and usability in program loudness control and limiting. It employs highly accurate logarithmic side chain processing, along with adaptive timing functions using look-ahead signal acquisition. The plug-in is able to deliver general transparent level control, program loudness maximization, or heavily applied artistic sound effects.
The comprehensive metering displays not only conventional peak sample values, but also allows the user to monitor the absolute values of the program material. This avoids inter sample peaks which can be often go undetected during production, but the generation of which will cause damaging reconstruction overloads in downstream equipment, resulting in degraded audio.
A further function allows the user to dynamically correct for reconstruction overloads in real time, thereby achieving maximum possible modulation levels without the risks of producing illegal signals often associated with compression and limiting. Comprehensive dithering with selectable and variable depth noise shaping ensures first class mastering output in either 24- or 16-bit modes. Note: Requires iLok if one is not already present on the system. Limiter plug-in comprising four cascaded processes in the following order:. Peak program limiting. Program enhancement.
Reconstruction metering and compensation. Dithering and noise shaping Enhance section to increase perceived loudness Reconstruction meter shows 'actual' signal rather than sampled signal Auto compensate feature corrects reconstruction errors without losing overall program loudness Attack, release and variable soft knee controls Comprehensive dither and noise shaping Includes many factory presets.
