Sonic Sweet

4 Amazing Plug-ins featuring the BBE Sound legendary tone

When the pros talk about their "must-have" Equalizer, Neve usually is the first brand mentioned. Ask about their choice of a compressor and it might just be an Urei 1176. When it is an enhancer/maximizer subject, “BBE Sound” is usually the answer. Throughout the world, there’s barely a studio, sound engineer or record producer that doesn’t own at least ONE version of BBE’s enhancer/maximizer tools.

BBE Sound products have been used on countless productions to give them more sparkle in the high end and a richer fatter sound in the low end without being “muddy”. BBE products have been copied over and over again but people stick to the BBE Sound trademark because they are quite simply the best sound tools in their category. The BBE Sonic Sweet v4 plug-ins gives you exactly the same brightness, clarity, and fullness as the hardware modules with the added bonus of being fully automatisable.

Sonic Sweet includes:

• Sonic Maximizer is the best way to get that professional sound and extra sparkle that is so difficult to capture. Identical to the physical unit in terms of utility features and processing, BBE’s advanced sonic processing technology and proprietary algorithms have allowed the creation of an outstanding and well received plug-in, used by all in the industry.

• Harmonic Maximizer increases presence and clarity, restores natural brightness, and adds deeper and extended low frequencies. Used in the studio on individual tracks or an entire mix, or live to enhance the sound of a P.A. system for example.

• Loudness Maximizer is a mixing and mastering multi-band limiter plug-in. Its ultimate transparency allows you to ‘dramatically’ increase the overall level of your mix without audible pumping effects. Using simple controls, turning the Sensitivity up will increase the level of your overall mix without clipping.

• Mach 3 Bass will take your low end to new sonic depths. Insert this plug-in on any type off bass instrument or signal where you need a big boost on the low end. Mach 3 Bass allows you to easily dial in the frequency you want to accentuate and “bump the bass”.
