REQ: Zynaptiq INTENSITY 2 (MacOS)

We're thrilled to announce INTENSITY 2, the latest iteration of our award-winning INTENSITY plug-in, as well as an Early Access program.

A massive update, INTENSITY 2 doubles down on the classic's core features and workflow, adding exciting new features and improvements across the board, including new algorithms with low CPU use and near-zero latency, support for up to 16 channels for immersive workflows, more BIAS CURVE presets, mid/side processing options, and much more. Check out the details of what's new below!

Conceptually similar to what HDR does for photography, INTENSITY 2 brings out a sound's inherent detail, increases perceived loudness, and adds clarity and bite - and is operated using essentially a single control. Between three proprietary algorithms, mid/side processing, an optional soft-knee saturating limiter, 16-channel support, and a super-fast and inspiring workflow, INTENSITY 2 is a must-have for mixing, mastering, and sound design.

The key INTENSITY features at a glance:

Mastering-grade processing for more detail, clarity, density and loudness.
Intuitive and fast workflow using a streamlined set of controls.
Proprietary INTENSITY circuit with optional frequency-dependent BIAS function.
Additional precision soft-knee saturating limiter at the output stage.
Think "Compressor"
So what IS this thing, then? You can think of INTENSITY like an infinite-band compressor operating in relative terms - whose time constants are zero, and which is controlled by a smart control system at audio rate - making it possible to adjust the process with essentially just one knob.

Or Actually, do NOT Think "Compressor"
Well, except that this description would be completely inaccurate, as INTENSITY is absolutely NOT a compressor, and works in a completely different way. There's no RMS detector, no threshold, no ratio, no attack or release time. It doesn't pump or modulate in any other way. It doesn't overshoot and it works regardless of absolute levels and input type.
