A comprehensive bundle of professional mixing and mastering plug-ins tailored for project studios, offering compression, expansion, limiting, EQ, dynamics, transient shaping, and reverb with streamlined stereo-only versions.
Purpose and Scope
The Studio Session Pack bundles several refined versions of Flux:: plug-ins designed specifically for project studio music production. It avoids compromising sound quality while adapting the tools for stereo, software-based workflows without hardware I/O support.
The included plug-ins cover essential dynamics, equalization, transient processing, and reverb, making it a complete toolkit for recording, mixing, and mastering within a digital audio workstation. The Studio Session versions are streamlined but retain full feature sets for each effect.
Key Capabilities
Pure Compressor provides classic compression control with attack, release, threshold, and ratio, plus detailed shaping of the dynamics profile for transparent or aggressive pumping effects. Pure Expander handles downward expansion and noise gating, cleaning up spillage and removing unwanted reverb or leakage.
Pure Limiter offers transparent level maximization with a proprietary release envelope that avoids artifacts, intended for the last processing stage. Epure is a five-band equalizer using State-Space technology to preserve signal integrity even with gain reductions, useful for both broad tonal shaping and surgical EQ tasks.
Advanced Dynamics and Effects
Syrah uses real-time dynamic detection and level-dependent processing to adapt its behavior to the music, making it creative for mixing and mastering. It borrows technology from BitterSweet and other dynamics processors for adaptive response.
BitterSweet Pro focuses on transient and sustain processing, with frequency-dependent controls that allow it to act as a dynamic equalizer triggered by transients. Verb, based on Ircam Verb technology, provides a simple workflow for quick reverb adjustments suited for fast-paced session work.
Workflow and Analysis
The bundle includes Pure Analyzer, a standalone analysis application that receives audio through a SampleGrabber plug-in inserted in any DAW insert chain. It provides real-time analysis without hardware I/O, covering various measurement needs.
All plug-ins are available in AU, VST, AAX Native, and AAX AudioSuite formats, ensuring broad compatibility within typical project studio setups. The streamlined versions limit channels to stereo and sample rate to 96 kHz for the analyzer, with no multitrack or hardware metering options, focusing on core mixing tasks.
