The type is selectable with a switch for easy comparison between types, and the brightness is also selectable with a switch. Phoenix II has five different analogue tape characteristics. Phoenix II is an application based on HEDD technology and specially designed and optimized for the Avid PT 10 architecture.

The Phoenix II process not only incorporates the non-linear saturation characteristics of the tape itself, but also includes the relationship between analog tape recorder recording / playback electronics and EQ curves. His deep knowledge of analog electronics, as well as years of experience as a sound engineer, has resulted in a very useful musical plug-in set.

Luster starts more gently than the other four processes, but becomes as aggressive as Dark Essence when the process is at full scale.System requirements: The AAX version will run both Native and DSP on PT10 and PT11ĭescription: Designer Dave Hill created this software with the same attention to detail that he used to create the electronics for ATR Service’s highly publicized “Aria” discrete tape recorders.(The effect is a color with a wider frequency range-when used on a vocal Dark Essence can reduce sibilance problems by increasing the apparent loudness of the rest of the signal.) Radiant is characterized by a more aggressive compression curve.(This plug-in is the most similar to the tape knob on HEDD-192.) Iridescent has a similar magnetic character, but with a fatter bottom and midrange.Luminescent is the most neutral sounding process of the five.

PHOENIX II contains five different tape-analog characteristics: When the input trim and output trim controls are at 0dB, (no change in gain) and no tape process is being added to the sound, the plug-in is bit accurate, meaning the output exactly matches the input. This can be useful on material that is hitting close to or at digital zero and on material that has a low recorded level. The input trim can also be used to prevent clipping in the rare cases where clipping may be a problem and bringing up the level of a track for an increased amount of color. A level control determines the amount of the Phoenix II process integrated into the audio signal, and an input trim determines "how hard you hit the tape." Because the DSP process is level dependent, the input level trim control has been improved and an output trim control has been added. Gold is the position where the color is approximately flat in frequency response, with Sapphire being a brighter, and Opal being a warmer tonality. Phoenix II has five different tape-analog characteristics, The type is selected with a switch for easy comparison between the types, and the brightness is also selected with a switch. Phoenix II is a ground-up application derived from HEDD technology, and specifically engineered and optimized for Avid's PT 10 architecture. The Phoenix II process not only incorporates the nonlinear saturation characteristics created by magnetic tape itself, but also includes the interrelation of an analog tape recorder's record/reproduce electronics and equalization curves. His intimate knowledge of analog electronics, as well as decades of experience as a recording engineer has spawned a very useful, musical suite of plug-ins.
CRANE SONG PHOENIX I VS II 32 BIT
Phoenix II uses 32 bit floating point math and has a lower noise floor than the original release.ĭesigner Dave Hill has crafted this software with the same attention to detail he used to create the electronics for ATR Service's much heralded "Aria" discrete tape recorders. Phoenix II runs both NATIVE and DSP on Avid's PT 10 AAX format.
