(August 21, 2007) – With the Version 1.2 update, the FLUX plug-ins are now Vista-compatible. Version 1.2 also features improved performances. The new preset manager allows the saving of global presets made of two different presets including the A / B morphing slider position. Also factory presets are now provided for every plug-in.

Pure Limiter is released
The Pure Limiter completes our dynamic processors range. Pure Limiter is supposed to be the very last stage of the processing chain for mastering. It has to preserve the audio integrity despite acting like a brick wall limiter. The key point of a state of the art limiting is the release management. Flux has incorporated all its knowledge about the dynamic management to produce the cleanest, artifact-free limiting processor ever designed. There is no compromise between ease of use and the access to all parameters.

Pure Limiter has three operation modes. One is manual insuring a classical approach in the parameter settings. The second mode is full automatic and requires a minimum user action to achieve great results in most cases. The last one is the advanced mode that gives users the full control of every parameter when special cases have to be managed. Two display options are also available to facilitate the setting of the Pure Limiter. The A mode displays both waveforms of the input signal and the processed signal. The B mode display is a histogram of the waveform including the limiter action and the release value. This mode is dedicated to the advanced mode settings allowing a user control the release variation. Pure Limiter also includes a band pass filter before the dynamic detector in order to keep only the relevant part of the signal when computing the release value. Of course a monitoring of the filtered signal is available.

The soft knee control can be linked to the threshold to produce a smoother limiting. At last, the release sync function when engaged compensates the detector latency for the release value. This can sound like a purist detail. It is. This detail makes a great difference regarding the naturalness of the processed audio.

As usual for FLUX plug-ins, 8 audio channels are supported up to 192 KHz. The processing is 64 bits float. The A / B morphing section authorizes fast and precise operations.

Pure Series plug-ins now sold individually
Pure Compressor, Pure Expander, Pure DCompressor, Pure DExpander, and Pure Limiter can now be purchased separately for 100€ each. Note also that a new discount policy for multi-license purchase is available from our web shop www.fluxshop.fr
