REQ: Korneff Audio Puff Puff mixPass
Another new plug-in? Yes! Introducing the Puff Puff mixPass.
If you’re struggling with getting your mixes competitively loud, the Puff Puff is a solution for you.
The Puff Puff enhances volume by increasing the apparent loudness of any material you pass through it. But unlike heavy limiting or compression, the Puff Puff doesn’t destroy dynamics and make things dull and lifeless. In fact, the Puff Puff mixPass can actually restore lost dynamics on material that’s been overcompressed. The Puff also adds a rich analog warmth and sheen. But that isn’t all...
We’ve also added some “character" controls that turn the Puff Puff into a world-class distortion generator. This isn’t just for the mix bus and mastering: it’s a real creative tool.
INFO:
LOUDER, but not compressed
When you need a track or mix louder, do you slap a compressor or limiter on it, squash it and crank up the gain? Yes, it gets louder, but does it sound, well... good?
Puff Puff mixPass makes your signal louder by enhancing its harmonic structure to increase the apparent loudness to your ear. Yes, it sounds louder, but it’s not crushed with zilch dynamic range and that typical overcompressed flatness. The Puff Puff actually brings back dynamics and adds a warm, analog liveliness that usually requires a room full of tube equipment to emulate.
The Puff Puff mixPass does all this with some clever waveshaping and two sliders.
Walktrough and review
LOUDER, and with CHARACTER
Puff Puff mixPass has unique controls so you can experiment with distortion, saturation and all sorts of sonic mayhem. It’s nice to have pristine sound quality, but sometimes you have to make a glorious mess of things.
Using the SONIC INTEGRITY and the EMPHASIS control allows you to control parameters of the Puff Puff's waveshaping algorithm. BROKEN adds sonic anomalies reminiscent of the issues caused by damaged, worn analog equipment. Why break things yourself? We've already done it for you! And it sounds awesome!
The FUZZ setting adds heaps of distortion and overload to your signal. Create fuzz box and overdrive effects, or add a pleasant buzz to a pristine track. All this while making things louder, and totally under your creative control.
Of course there's a Clipper
Puff Puff mixPass is, after all, your secret weapon in the loudness wars. So, of course we added a clipper so you're properly armed. But even this clipper is different: it's designed to remove annoying digital artifacts like clicks and pops, so feel free to EXTREME CLIP.
