Zynaptiq INTENSITY

Description

INTENSITY is a new kind of audio processor for mixing, mastering and sound design. Built on techniques typically found in facial recognition algorithms, INTENSITY brings out a sound’s inherent detail, increases its perceived loudness and density, and adds insane amounts of clarity. The unique algorithm carves out important signal features – making sounds sound more like themselves – and is operated with essentially one control. Between the proprietary algorithm and an optional soft-knee saturating limiter in the plugin’s output stage, INTENSITY also excels at attaining maximum loudness and creating a beautifully aggressive tone.

Features

• 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.

This plugin is probably the fastest way to get great sound. No kidding. The actual, real-world usage story goes pretty much exactly like this:

• Insert plugin
• Adjust INTENSITY amount
• Enjoy the result.

In some cases, you may additionally:

• Adjust BIAS Amount and/or Curve
• Switch LEVEL COMPENSATION off
• Activate the saturation.

…that is literally it.

Important Notes: An iLok account or iLok 2/3-based activation is required in order to register this product. An internet connection is required for software activation.

Copy Protection

Zynaptiq products use the latest PACE copy protection, which allows you to place your activation on your machine or on an iLok 2* (not included). You will need a free iLok.com account to use our software, even for the demos – but you do not necessarily need the iLok 2 dongle if your machine has internet access (activation of a system without internet connectivity requires an iLok 2 device). All required software is installed along with our plugins, but we generally recommend downloading the latest versions directly from iLok.com.

Please Note: The older, first-generation iLok is not supported!

CPU Load

While they are highly optimized, Zynaptiq plugins use a LOT of CPU due to the complex nature of the magic they perform. Please use the free trial to evaluate whether your system has sufficient resources to utilize the software effectively!

Zynaptiq recommends setting your playback buffer size to at least 512 or ideally 1024 samples for optimum performance.

As Zynaptiq plugins sport unique features not found in any other software, Zynaptiq highly recommends reading the User Manuals to ensure that you get the most out of them!
