A Perfect Mix Has Never Been More Obtainable
We've all been there - you've just finished laying down what could very well be the hottest track of the summer, you go back to listen to your musical genius and you are unfortunately met with a mix that just doesn't do your creativity justice. Never again will you face this problem, with the introduction of the Modern Mixing Bundle, a bundle that contains 3 of the most essential plugins for crafting the perfect mix.
Breathe life into your sound with Sonnox's Oxford Inflator, a unique and powerful plugin to increase loudness, without sacrificing sonic quality or dynamic range. This allows you to fill those speakers out and replicate the massive sound of your favourite club anthems without sacrificing audio quality or clarity.
Softube's Transient Shaper allows you to meticulously control the attack and decay of a sound and even get as granular as affecting either the entire frequency range or only the treble frequencies or bass frequencies. Full control of the shaping of your sounds awaits.
Finally, Lifeline Console by Excite Audio focuses on mixing in a control room, offering you the sound of sought-after hardware and analogue formats all within your DAW. Each of the plugin’s five modules brings a particular vintage flavour to your signal chain that allows never before seen levels of control over the intricacies of your mix.
It's never been easier to achieve the perfect mix.
The Modern Mixing Bundle is exclusive to our store and available for a limited time only.

Softube Transient Shaper
Being able to control the attack and decay of a sound is tremendously useful for anyone mixing music. But Softube's Transient Shaper goes beyond that due to the fact that it's a dual-band processor. This means that the user can set it to affect only the treble or bass portion of a sound—separately for the Sustain and Punch parameters—and leave the rest untouched. This opens up a new realm of possibilities.
Transient shaping has become a vital technique in music mixing. The ability to sharpen or soften the onset of a sound, as well as lengthen or shorten the decay, has proven very useful for giving each sound just the right size and position in the mix. Transient Shaper takes this concept one step further, by letting the user affect either the entire frequency range—as most similar tools—or only the treble frequencies or bass frequencies.
Features
- Dual-band transient processing tool
- Add or reduce punch and/or sustain from any sound
- Affect either the whole frequency spectrum, only the high frequencies or only the low frequencies
- User-selectable crossover frequency
- Clip section adds output distortion

Excite Audio Lifeline Console
While Lifeline Expanse simulates the space and characteristics of real recording environments and re-amping methods, Lifeline Console focuses on mixing in a control room, offering you the sound of sought-after hardware and analogue formats all within your DAW. Lifeline Console and Lifeline Expanse are also available together within the Lifeline Bundle.
Each of the plugin’s five modules brings a particular vintage flavour to your signal chain:
- Pre-amp warms and enhances the signal with colourful saturation via a customisable frequency response.
- EQ offers characterful spectral shaping with a choice of analogue circuitry.
- Compressor makes quick work of dynamics duties and contains an innovative Auto Makeup control.
- Modulation imparts the movement and life of warped records and tape speed variations.
- Wear adds the charm and imperfections of old-school playback, introducing the noise, artefacts and unpredictable nature of tape, vinyl and cassette.
Whether you’re adding gentle sheen and signal enhancement, degrading a sound into a nostalgic, lo-fi production, or anything in between, there’s a module combination for whatever you need.
Features
- Five rearrangeable effects modules
- An interactive display for each module
- 15 unique algorithms
- Left/Right or Mid/Side processing for stereo control

- 8 GB RAM or more is recommended, as well as at least 8 GB hard disk space for installation (individual plug-ins take less space, while sample libraries may require additional disk space).
- A Softube account is required to register and install the software.

In theory, any 64-bit VST, VST3, AU, or AAX (11.0.2 or higher) compatible host application should work. The most recent maintenance release of the DAW application is recommended. However, due to plug-in host differences between DAWs - and Softube's own rigorous testing standards - Softube only officially test their plug-ins and instruments in the most recent versions of Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Live, Studio One, Digital Performer, Reaper and Sonar. Softube plugins are not tested in the non-listed systems, but they most likely work as long as the system requirements are met.
Important note: make sure that you always use the latest iLok License Manager. It is not included in the Softube installer but can be downloaded from www.ilok.com
