Inflator
The Secret to Award-Winning Mixes
For years, the Oxford Inflator has been a “secret weapon” for mixing and mastering engineers. Renowned for delivering instant sonic enhancement and elevating tracks to new heights. Inflator guarantees unmatched life and vibrancy in your mix.
The Inflator Difference - Why Pros Keep Coming Back
Every producer faces that moment when EQ and compression just aren’t cutting it. A vocal lacks punch, a mix bus feels too thin, or an entire track is missing that certain spark.
This is where the Oxford Inflator stands apart from imitators and remains a fixture in professional studios worldwide.
Whether you’re adding subtle depth or making a track explode with intensity, the Inflator brings an undeniable presence, warmth, and power to your mix—all without squashing dynamics or adding unwanted distortion. It delivers results other plugins can only hope to imitate.
Features
- Instant Excitement - Need vocals to jump to the front of the mix or guitars to cut through with attitude? Inflator instantly adds warmth, depth, and character to any track. Whether it’s subtle saturation or full-on intensity, you control the excitement.
- Uncompromising Dynamic Range - Inflator’s magic lies in its ability to enhance loudness without flattening your track’s dynamics. No need to sacrifice emotional impact for volume—Inflator lets your music retain its energy while still standing out in today’s loudness-driven market.
- Unmatched Legacy & Compatibility - We’ve maintained cross-compatibility across all platforms and DAWs for years, ensuring your Inflator settings carry over seamlessly from session to session—whether from 10 years ago or today. Investing in the Oxford Inflator means you’re not just getting today’s best exciter plugin—you’re future-proofing your workflow.
- The Real Deal - With imitators flooding the market, it’s easy to get lost in the noise. But when you choose the Oxford Inflator, you’re choosing the plugin that pros have trusted for over a decade.
